Inevitably, in life we each encounter obstacles, many of which are smaller hurdles we can jump and overcome on our own while others prove more challenging, often leaving us overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, frustration, or sadness. While these are typical stress reactions, it is possible to get relief, alleviating this discomfort and allowing us to feel more content. It is during these times of struggle that stepping-stones such as counseling and energy work can guide us on our path to growth while helping us create the peace and stability we are seeking.
