“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. delicious ambiguity …”
~ Gilda Radner
The sentiments above can be difficult to embrace when we’re struggling. Challenges are generally frustrating, change is scary, and most times ambiguity is anything but delicious. As we attempt to adapt to a world changing at an alarming rate, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by uncertainties and miss opportunities to connect with others and ourselves.
It’s clear something needs to change but how or what to change is not so easy to see. Often we feel alone in this struggle but it doesn’t have to be that way. Therapy is a wonderful place to get support and realize our own resiliency and power to cope with uncertainties. I enjoy helping clients find self-compassion and let go of judgements (often an important first step in the change process). I also work with clients in discovering how to be present in the moment and free themselves from worries about the future or regrets about the past. These and other mindfulness skills can teach us how to more effectively manage modern stress and give us the life we always hoped was possible.
As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I feel strongly that change and growth are possible for everyone. Your interest in assistance with the process is the first step. Call me today at (206) 954-3395 to begin creating real change in your life.
