About

Often, we are weighed down by feelings of fear, anger, distress, sadness, pain, anxiety, and even guilt. These feelings intrude on our everyday lives, affect us, and affect those around us. It is not uncommon, that those closest to us often see our suffering more than we can. Our culture has made it so that we bury these feelings and emotions and throw up a façade of strength so as not to be a burden or worse, be judged. Meanwhile, on the inside, we struggle and often seek out destructive coping mechanisms, often towards a path of addiction. This can lead to a vicious cycle of behavior, suffering, and regret that we feel helpless.
