Emotional pain goes by various labels--anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unrewarding relationships, addiction, etc--but it has common pathways. Otherwise there would be no treatment for it. No one wants to feel pain. It hurts, by definition. But can you use your emotional pain to motivate yourself to address the the issues that cause it in the first place? Can you learn to reflect, understand, and respond versus react to your pain and flee from it? It takes time, but re-training your thinking and behavior can yield valuable benefits if you're willing to invest in yourself.

My first experience was in the education field, particularly elementary school. As I was attempting to teach some children they had a difficult time since their family life was in crisis. This made me want to pursue a career in counseling children and their families. I love helping individuals and families grow as people. It brings satisfaction to me to see others succeed and change in their lives.
