Treating Anxiety

Anxiety is a central human experience. We all suffer from it to one degree or another. With treatment, relief and healing are possible to understand:

Anxiety provides the friction in life that moves people forward

Too much anxiety is debilitating
Overcoming anxiety is very simple but difficult
Anxiety loosens its grip in the light of awareness
You are not your thoughts and feelings…you are the observer of your thoughts and feelings

Treating Depression

Depression often consists of chronic sadness, hopelessness, and the inability to feel joy doing things that matter to you.

It may be difficult to believe right now, but there is hope. You can reconnect to your life and loved ones.

Through working together you will:

Improve your ability to ask for help
Develop compassion for the self
Cultivate a sense of humor
Learn to “see in the dark”

Learning How to Suffer

There are two types of suffering in life. The first is meaningless and unbearable leading to more despair, anxiety and resentment. The second type of suffering is the kind that means something…it’s suffering in service to someone you love or to a cause bigger than yourself. It’s ennobling, bringing dignity and inner strength. When faced with unavoidable suffering you can learn how to take responsibility and make your suffering matter.

Suffering is a natural and unavoidable part of life
Your relationship to suffering makes all the difference
You can decide to make your suffering worth it
If you have a why to live, you can bare almost any how
Happiness cannot be pursued. It will ensue only as a by-product of giving your life to something greater than yourself
