It's one thing to be ready for change, but it's another to work for it. Changing an aspect about your life or yourself is not easy work! But you can't bloom without it.

This is why therapy can be great for change. Having a trusted therapist work through that change with you, offering different perspectives, insights, and reassurances, can be the fertilizer to the water you've already been pouring. You absolutely can do this work on your own, and there will be moments throughout life where you can do it easily. But in times where you're struggling, or you're not sure which direction to go, or how to even get started, we can help you out. Change is the peanut butter to our jelly!

Where did the idea come from that knowing ones self is not as complex as it really is?

One of the greatest and most challenging gifts humanity has is the concept of the self. With that comes the journey of getting to know that self. For some, in many areas of their life, this comes naturally. For others, this is a complex journey for the entirety of their lives. But each and every one of us will have a moment - or many moments - where we question who we are, what we know, and who we want to be.

In moments where questioning yourself feels stressful - such as considering a life changing decision (What do I want to go to school for? Where do I want to work? Do I want children?) we recommend a few things 👇

🐌 Slow it down. The answers don't usually come to us when we put ourselves under pressure.
🌳Take a walk through nature. Might sound weird to some - but we come from nature. It will always be part of who we are. Ground yourself in its presence.
☑Readjust expectations. Easier said than done, but expectations from family, peers, society, or your community can create a lot of pressure and internal tension. Especially if they're not your own expectations.
⏰Allow yourself the time. Contrary to the norm, there is no rush - we miss things when we rush. We find things when we take our time.
💝Accept what feels right to you. This is unique to each person! Not only that, but what feels right to you might change over time as you grow. It is okay to make a decision based on what feels right to you now, even if it changes later. That's what the journey is all about.
