Do you experience persistent anxiety, or a feeling like you’re constantly on edge? Do you have difficulty sleeping, or wake in the morning with your heart and mind racing?

Many of us learn to deny, minimize, or ignore our pain in order to survive it. And, it makes sense, because ignoring our feelings or distracting ourselves from them provides great relief in the short-term. However, over time, you may see that the more you push your feelings away, the more consumed you are by them. You start to find that the strategies you initially learned to survive begin interfering with your ability to thrive in your present life.
