About

Many times we postpone starting therapy as a way to avoid confronting hard truths. We become comfortable in our narrative. We fear that saying things out loud will somehow bring on more suffering. Studies in fact show that the emotional part of our brain is actually soothed when we tell our truth! Our chemistry gets altered and the brain finds new pathways that enhance our ability to grow beyond the things that have happened to us. This is the transformational power of telling our story in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Quality therapy will not change you at your core, but it will enhance and highlight your strengths.
