I believe my clients are seeking peace. They also seek validation of their feelings. Mental health is a daily practice of introspection. Just as we become aware of physical symptoms, we should also be in touch with intermittent sadness, sudden agitation, an inability to get out of bed in the morning, etc. Many of us lead busy lives and sense no one has the time to fully listen. Therapy provides a safe and secure place to express feelings, without judgement or bias.
