Transformative therapy always starts with a relationship. In this relationship, our scars are not seen as blemishes, but as proof of a life lived courageously. Old wounds are not seen as signs of broken-ness, but rather as the profound language of the soul. True healing occurs when this language is understood. Having worked with individuals suffering from addiction, grief, depression, and much more, I have witnessed firsthand how emotional pain dissolves in the warm light of this non-judgemental understanding. It is only after the fact that we notice we are accompanied by a sense of joy.
