Does therapy make a difference? nicole arzt

in times like these / with symptoms like those or when life hands you the most vile rotting lemons?

maybe we are actually asking
what is the real purpose of therapy / what can therapy offer when there is such heartache loss and tragedy we cannot control?

one answer is therapy always makes a difference
as our bones are oriented to heal and our hearts are wired to connect

when we share our darkest feelings and rawest needs to a warm witness who holds them with their delicate touch we slowly integrate a felt sense of attunement

attunement reveals the mirror to strengths / the map to inner peace the landscape of unmet needs / the vulnerability of being seen but if none of those things
it sits with you in darkness without being alone in darkness

if you receive this intangible gift / you may also receive the desire to share it splendidly and generously / what flows through you trickles into others / and this is just one precious way our world heals
