Many of us feel caged and confused in this world. We don't know who we are or how we want to be. We feel insecure and lost. We feel alone and scared in rooms full of people. Disliking our bodies and minds, we chase after relief that leads to emptiness. Seeking safety and expectability, we attempt to control our emotional and physical environments. In these enclosures, we are separate from ourselves and others--angry, judgmental, shutdown and shut-out. Psychotherapy enables us to uncover and heal the wounds and traumas that imprison us, liberating our innate ability to thrive and connect.
