I often look at life as a roller coaster. It's filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. Some of the things that life throws our way we are not prepared for and have felt as though we have no one to turn to. In the past therapy was frowned upon and what happens in the family was suppose to stay in the family, but if healing has never taken place and we have not learned new ways of handling the twist and turns of life we tend to repeat generational patterns. We were not meant to live alone so why should we have to go through difficult situations alone? We shouldn't! Professional help is available so let's start healing.
