Why is it so hard to tell your story? Why do you keep things to yourself and let the war rage internally instead of getting help? Maybe it's because you're not sure "they" will believe you? Maybe because you're still not sure if YOU believe you? Maybe you asked for it? Maybe you somehow brought it… Continue reading Trauma: Why You Should Tell Your Story
Self- help books, TV shows, podcasts, and blogs seem to be all the rage right now and I'm not surprised. People are hungry for answers to the building anxiety and trouble they face. It seems like our world is getting more fast-paced, less sure of itself, more lonely, less connected. People are looking for help.… Continue reading Self-help vs. Real Help
