The world seems like a scary place. Worrying seems like the norm to you. Enjoying the present moment or taking any decisions seems impossible.

After trauma , life can feel like it is spiraling out of control and it feels overwhelming to deal with. It becomes difficult and hard to cope with uneasy thoughts & emotions. I believe each and every person would benefit from therapy. It is important to be able to understand our own emotions and to be able to openly communicate those with others in our lives. When we are unable to understand those emotions, it can become difficult to function in our daily lives. With therapy, you can learn how to regulate these areas in a healthier way through a compassionate approach to healing.
