Life is confusing, sometimes dangerous, sometimes beautiful.
You land the promotion. Your partner leaves you in the lurch. Or a friend gets angry about how you handled something.
You’re sorting the difference between the family you grew up in and the life you lead now. Or you’re adjusting to something new – a job, a move, a relationship – and trying to level up without knowing how.
Sometimes it helps to bring in a third perspective. That’s the therapeutic view: someone with no stake in your life, who catches the themes and nuances you and your friends can’t.
Good therapy tells the story with a trained witness. That loosens its hold on your life, without re-traumatizing you.
