The river of life is very difficult:
Choppy waters, rocky edges, difficult rapids. Sometimes it feels as if you are drowning or treading water, and never moving closer to the safety of the shore.
Psychotherapy can help you build a "boat" and give you the ability to safely navigate through your problems.
As you obtain healthy coping skills stopping/changing negative patterns and behaviors, releasing difficult or traumatic memories, improving relationships, and understanding healthy boundaries, the choppy waters of life can begin to change to the lotus. Strong and calm regardless of growing in the dark.
