Your life doesn't have to be this way. The consequences of the past can impact our moods and our relationships right here, right now. If your partner is half-way out the door, your boss is reprimanding you, and you find yourself increasingly alone as your friends ghost you, it might be time for a change. Maybe one of your friends gets bold one day and says, "Maybe it is time you talked to someone."
My clients tell me that therapy has helped them not "get over" a traumatic childhood or relationship, anger problems, or the suicide of a loved one, but put those losses in context, understand how our brain protects us from pain, and find better coping skills to rebuild a life worth living.
