It means we have to admit that we have a problem we don't know how to fix.  A problem that is affecting our life and the lives of the ones we love.   
But most of the time, we'd rather ignore our problems - especially if they are emotional.
And who really wants to take the time to figure out what's wrong when it's the other people in our lives who just need
 to change in order for everything to be fine...right?

But what happens when our relationships continue to be cycles of conflict and withdrawal? 
Or if we just can't seem to figure out why things in our lives aren't changing?  


 
 

Counseling is a risky word.

Everyone has a story.

 We all have a place we came from, people that impacted us and situations that shaped and formed us.  

Most of us have parts of our story we'd like to forget or rewrite. But our pasts still impact our lives and the relationships we care about. What if instead of going to a counselor to learn coping techniques or ways to manage our pain, we actually read our own stories and learned where the pain was coming from in the first place?  

What if instead of simply surviving in our lives, we actually learned to thrive? What if instead of ignoring the damage done in our past or trying the latest five step program to manage our difficult relationships, we could actually heal and restore ourselves and our relationships?
