I came to therapy at a loss to understand why I acted the way I did. Why it was I felt ruled by negativity, fear and anger.
I had tried other therapies but none got to the core of things. I entered this therapy full of trepidation, slight cynicism and admittedly, mistrust. Why would this therapy work where other methods had failed?
The answer lay in trusting both my therapist and myself. Through this, i began to learn to not be afraid of my body, my emotions and my beliefs.
That in fact, all three have a right to be listened to and valued.  As an individual, I have the right to exist and flourish.
Although I can never change the experiences of my past, I have it within me, the ability to alter my responses to the past. Therapy has taught me to look forward; to see opportunity where once there was only fear, to feel, where once there was only numbness, to speak, when once I was only mute.
