A few years ago I read a joke: "Fish don't know they're in the water". The scenario is that Fish Number One asks Fish Number Two, "How's the water?" Fish Number Two responds, "What the hell is water?". The fish who is "in" the situation (hence the water) does not even realize its surrounding. Second what surrounds you is only normal because it's what you know. I got another one that I recently came across: "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." This references to dream analysis but it basically mean that our preconceptions can dramatically alter the way we perceive the world. (Quote is by writer Anais Nin).

“Resilience is not just for surviving the worst day of your life. It’s for thriving every day of your life.” When we feel overwhelmed, it can help to have someone nonjudgmental to talk to. When we run into roadblocks holding us back from achieving our highest potential, a supportive relationship can make all the difference in getting unstuck. I offer a compassionate, safe space for individuals to share their struggles, explore what habits or narratives aren’t serving them, and learn new ways of problem-solving. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with clients on discovering their innate capacity for growth and healing.

Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power. Many of our clients say they have felt that they could "just handle this by themselves," but once they reached out to us and got the help they needed, they realized that even if you can "just handle this alone," no one, including you, should ever have to. By reaching out to us, you are stating you are ready to bring balance back to your life.

Maybe you are in the middle of a divorce or break-up. All of these changes can be difficult to manage on your own. The intense feelings can be depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown, loneliness, struggling to make new connections, sabotaging your chances of love/friendships, and sense of loss.
