Many of us navigate the world using the survival skills we learned in our childhood. We often grew up learning to view and interact with the world in a way that made us feel safe. Now, some of these survival styles hinder us from building deeper connections with others and ourselves. Our marriage becomes challenging, family interactions feel superficial, and we often feel the need to be vulnerable but don't out of fear of judgment. This stops us from connecting with others, establishing boundaries, and making better decisions.
Clients get support and guidance. While challenging them to hold themselves accountable and sit with their vulnerability.
Progress is a process! Becoming a better you will take patience, grace, and consistency. All of which we will work on together. You will have better communication in your relationships, your negative thoughts will be challenged by true and positive ones, and you will finally give yourself permission to live a different life. Better than it was before.
A desire to explore and work on their stated goals. A willingness to try something different.
