You know you need help, but don’t know who to talk to or if talking will even change anything. You’ve experienced a trauma and you are tired of talking about it, but you don’t want to feel “that feeling" anymore. You know that something is wrong, but you can’t seem to put words to it. Or maybe you have been to therapy before and just talking about it didn’t seem to help. Perhaps your child is not behaving in school like he or she used to, they’re no longer talking, grades are falling and their getting into fights. Maybe your family just doesn’t get it, if you could just do or be what they want things will be ok, but there not.

There comes a day when we find ourselves in a place we never, ever expected to be. We face some painful realities and make very difficult decisions and choices. Later, we look back on our decisions and realize we could have done things better, or differently. What is important is what we do with what we have learned from those mistakes and how to deal with the guilt and shame that goes with it. Successful therapy involves a commitment to heal and become strong, stable and able to put our wounds where they might be appropriately placed. Not as defense shields to distort realities, but instead, to live the life we all desire.
