Seeking therapy transformed my own life and motivated me to become one myself. It is truly an honor to sit alongside someone and help them to crawl out of the darkness into a joyful life. Therapy will not fix things overnight. It is a process but the rewards are great. It takes bravery to face your past, your present and plan for a better future. However, I believe nothing is worse than staying stuck where you don't belong. The reality is that we can't change what happened to us. It may not even be our fault... but our healing is our responsibility. We do not have to be defined by what happened to us. We can still build a beautiful life and every single person deserves that.
