Feeling stuck, depressed or dealing with anxiety? Maybe you're thinking about a life without substance use. Perhaps you're considering a career change or just feeling unhappy. Many issues stem from entrenched, automatic patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. Creating a meaningful, rich, satisfying life starts with awareness. Without awareness of our patterns, we remain perpetually stuck in our old ways. You can develop awareness and the personal insight necessary to work toward improved functioning and increase quality of life.
