Description
Life can be riddled with uncertainty and eclipsed by dark events. These can impede your ability to enjoy the happiest of moments, or even render you completely incapacitated. I admire the courage required to choose therapy to navigate life’s challenges, and I first want to applaud you for your courage. Your motivation to the openness, vulnerability, and change involved in the therapy process is perhaps the most important predictor that therapy will be helpful for you. There is hope already in that.
