Sometimes, coping and maintaining our well-being can become difficult; we feel overwhelmed, or our emotions seem too hard to handle alone. We wonder how we arrived where we find ourselves, and how we can move forward with confidence that things can get better. Perhaps anxiety, depression, struggling to communicate and connect are more familiar to us than contentment, feeling hopeful, and valued for who we are.
