Part of healing in therapy is having someone hear your story, to have a witness to the pain, anger, sadness, joy, shame, etc. it’s often someone asking questions with a different perspective.

Therapy is a sense check on everything you are going through as it happens. It offers space for an impartial expert to step in when they see trouble brewing in areas you may have missed.

Are you finding the channels to explore your healing because it might feel bad now, but it won’t always be like that. Feel your emotions, feel the anger, feel the pain but don’t let it become you.
