It’s hard to tell someone else your deepest secrets. The truth about your gender, your desires, your struggling relationship. A well of shame has pooled up inside, brought on by years of trying to squeeze yourself into the narrow definitions of sexuality forced on you by society. You’re left feeling alienated and unsure if you will ever find the kind of true connection that you crave. You know deep inside that sexuality is meant to be wonderful…but something is holding you back. Fear of rejection. Fear of judgement. Fear of not being enough. Fear of not knowing what to do. Fear of being alone.

We all need support sometimes to help us cope with the struggles in life. For some, depression or anxiety have made life a daily struggle. For others, chronic relationship issues may be the stressor. Some have experienced traumas and are unsure how this affects their lives; they only know they feel miserable. Some people are just looking for support or to "de-stress". Therapy is not about "just talking", but rather understanding the reasons why we developed the patterns we have, and then learning how to think and act in a different way to create a happier life.
