How many of us find ourselves "just making it," going day in and out doing the same routine, feeling like we are sitting in the backseat to our life watching it pass by, out of touch and out of control. Molding our life into what we want starts with acknowledging that something’s not working and that we cannot do this alone.

Many people start thinking about therapy because, emotionally, they don’t feel good. Maybe your emotions end up taking you for a ride and you feel helpless to stop it. Emotions come and go, but they can sometimes feel endless, especially if they are intense. Or maybe you are struggling to get in touch with your emotions and you find it difficult to connect. Either way, what ends up making it worse is the power struggle we get into with our own emotions. We want to push away the ones that feel bad and force the ones that feel good, but that never works for long. Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid the power struggle completely?
