Bussey Holistic Therapy

Bussey Holistic Therapy Holistic Mental Health Counseling How each person defines these concepts are individually unique. I view each client as a whole person–mind, body, and spirit.

Bussey Holistic Therapy is founded on the premise that all human beings have an innate desire for balance, healing, and growth. I meet each client where they are in order to help them meet their personal goals. As a therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey. Although life has the potential to be joyful and fulfilling, at times we all face challenges. This is part of the human condition to which none of us are immune. While we may generally have the resilience to cope and to move through difficult experiences, there are those times when we become aware that additional support and resources may be helpful in navigating difficult circumstances, healing from painful experiences from the past, or when we become aware of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that we would like to address in order to live a richer life. Therapy can be a constructive resource offering a safe space to heal and grow.

I can predict your future by watching how you handle discomfort.

Not what you say. What you actually do when things get hard.

Someone uncomfortable on a sales call? They'll stay broke.

Someone uncomfortable with feedback? They'll stay average.

Someone uncomfortable being a beginner? They'll never start anything new.

Your tolerance for discomfort is your growth ceiling.

I've seen this play out hundreds of times:

Two people start the same thing.

One quits the second it gets uncomfortable.

One leans into the discomfort and figures it out.

Five years later, they're living completely different lives.

Same opportunity. Different tolerance.

Here's the pattern:

→ High discomfort tolerance = constant growth
→ Low discomfort tolerance = permanent stagnation

It's not about talent or intelligence or connections.

It's about whether you can sit in discomfort long enough for it to turn into competence.

Most people can't.

They feel awkward and quit.

They feel uncertain and retreat back to what's comfortable.

Then they wonder why nothing changes.

Your future isn't determined by your goals.

It's determined by how much discomfort you're willing to sit in to get there.

Comfort is where growth stops.

Discomfort is where it starts.

Pick one.

Reminder that boundaries don’t always have to be grand, dramatic statements. They can be subtle, consistent ‘micro boundaries’ that constantly safeguard your mental space.

Reminder: the mindstate that we cultivate internally impacts every person we come into contact with. Try to be a compassionate force in the world, even if the world is in turmoil. 💖
