I am a motivational therapist. I teach what helped me to stop feeling preoccupied with pennies and getting occupied making millions. I will first understand you, where you are. Baseline. One of the best solutions to reduce depression (the past) and anxiety (the future) is to joyfully live in the present. The "broken records" of verbal and other addictions are not your friends. Joy and productivity are your friends, along with the friend who never offers you negative news. As we learn, changes must generalize from each meeting to other settings with helpful tools for your greatest life experiences.
