Psychotherapy is about transition, you are not necessarily bound by your patterns. It's also about simultaneously addressing symptoms and developing effective and lasting means of combating them.

The practice of psychotherapy is a creative, forward moving, and lasting transition to enhance all areas of one’s life.
