We all struggle at times with feelings of unresolved hurt, anxiety, depression, and anger. These feelings can rob us of the joy we might normally experience in our selves and our relationships. It is never easy to admit to having personal issues or to examine our past experiences. We all want to be heard and know that someone is listening to us. We want to have confidence in our relationships that they are healthy, loving and dependable. Sometimes these questions are more fundamental. What are we doing with our lives? We all want to be whole, confident in who we are and in our relationships. We want to be our best selves.
