Generally, a crisis of some kind has precipitated your decision to enlist help and add extra support to your life.  We cannot always rely on friends and family to help us navigate and understand the deeper issues that may be causing the crisis.  This is when you know it is time to enlist the help of a professional who will make time and space with an unbiased reflection for you to explore the inner landscape of your mind, body and soul.

As the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung said, “crisis is an opportunity for growth”, so together let’s maximize the opportunity being presented to you. Let’s see if the struggle you face can be one to grow on and transform.  Let’s find a way to make meaning out of the struggle that is being presented.  It is not that life will not have challenges that present themselves, it ultimately is about how we face these challenges and how we can learn and grow from them.

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen Buddhist spiritual leader, has said, “No mud, no lotus.”

Without suffering through the mud, you cannot find the happiness of the lotus.
