How many of us walk around trying to keep up a “good front”? How many of us struggle to meet others’ expectations and to measure up to all the “shoulds” in our life, while battling the inner voices of unworthiness, shame, and the not “enoughs”? Our perceptions are powerful and can keep us imprisoned in fear, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. The end result of this constant battle is a depletion of joy and fullness of life, stunted growth (losing the courage to try new things because of fear of failure), and a lost sense of who we are. Fullness of joy and wholeness comes when we courageously and honestly welcome the wounded parts of ourselves (often in the presence of a non-judgmental and accepting person), instead of denying them, and consciously integrate all parts of our story.
Counseling offers a safe place to welcome your story, wrestle with your perceptions, and re-discover your true worth and value. Take a step, make a call and come in for a free consultation. Life is too short!
