Life can throw different challenges at you at any time and struggle can show up in our lives in many ways. This can naturally create feelings of discouragement or discomfort that present in life through our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Sometimes it can be hard to open up about it, but as your therapist I want you to have a place to do just that.
