Many of us struggle with the tendency to isolate ourselves when we are in pain. We experience shame and guilt at the prospect of our stories being heard by others. So instead of leaning in to one another, we push away, leaving us unseen, forgotten and lonely. In spite of our fears, I believe we all have a deep, innate desire to be known and accepted in our stories, and it takes great courage to push past what we are afraid of to find the freedom that comes with sharing who we are.
Unfortunately, there are no quick fix methods or interventions that work for everyone. The challenges you are facing in your life are deeply personal and unique. That is why your counseling experience will be tailored to effectively meet your personal needs and goals.
