Get emotional support; process hard feelings and experiences

People often seek out therapy because they are struggling to process and understand current and/or past experiences. It can be helpful to get support from someone who can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and validate your experience. Often, when we are non-judgmentally witnessed in our feelings and stories, healing begins to take root.

So many people feel stuck and disconnected because they haven't learned to fully feel their emotions. Get support to process past and current experiences so that those feelings loosen their grip and let you move forward.
