Before I promote therapy,I want to share how it has impacted my own journey. Before I found the ‘right’ therapist, I tried therapy twice, somewhat recklessly, when I didn’t know how to handle all the discomfort I was feeling.

It is difficult to place your trauma in the context of an unaccepting environment. Imagine feeling so many emotions but having to pretend that you feel fine when you feel so much worse. It also makes us lose our ability to pay attention to what we are genuinely feeling!
