Description
Going through my own journey as a caregiver to someone living with a chronic illness, it struck me how overwhelming it feels when so much is out of our control. Some circumstances can’t be changed. At that time in my life, I was hesitant about the idea of therapy. I am extremely analytical and didn’t see how therapy could help, but I decided to give it a try. I learned that therapy isn’t about “fixing”, but about discovering ways to make peace, and even find joy, in the face of unchangeable challenges. It’s not about taking pain away, but reducing suffering.
