Are you feeling you'd like to talk with someone privately? Are you afraid no one could understand you? Are your feelings about yourself holding you back, and you feel stuck? This is a time when naturally one does not know what to do. And, the choice is often having to take a leap and do something about it. This a a natural fear for many people. Opening up can seem frightening. A good therapist knows that. Many who take the step for therapy find that is was the right move.
