Seeking therapy is in itself a sign of strength and courage as it can often seem easier to avoid painful issues rather than to address them. You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, sadness or "numbness" or struggling in relationships with others past and present. It can be helpful to know that all of our experiences, especially the most challenging ones are powerful starting points on the road to positive emotional growth and healing transformations. Our pain serves as a motivator, encouraging us to explore something more fully so that we may ultimately become free of its hold upon us.
