Somewhere along the way, we get hurt, go through unexpected changes, or we lose something or someone. People enter our lives, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Experiencing depression, anxiety, social disconnection, trauma, or heartbreak is human. The saying: “life goes on”, is a vague and misleading proverb. As we attempt to “go on”, it is common to find ourselves trying to soothe and protect our feelings in unhelpful ways. It is also common to find ourselves in the same hurtful patterns, despite our best efforts. If you are here, you took the first step and this is where I can serve you.

Have you ever felt like running away? Sometimes we just want to Escape from home, from work, from relationship, Escape from your mind, Escape form ourself. ESCAPE means getting out of a place or a situation.
