A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.
-John Eldredge
Are you wondering if counseling is for you?
Do you…
- Feel like hopelessness and despair are making it hard to live your life and that your relationships, health, and livelihood are suffering?
- Find yourself struggling over and over again with the same old issues?
- Feel like you can’t ever do anything right, or that life is against you?
- Have panic attacks, nightmares, or flashbacks?
- Feel alone in your pain and heartache because you don’t feel like anyone else could understand what you are going through?
Choosing to pursue counseling may be one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Counseling is hard work, but you are investing in your future and the results are absolutely worth it.
Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.
Dr. Schlesinger
