18 Oct GRIEF; the necessary pain
I have helped many clients with their journey through grief. I would like to write 'overcome' grief but I don't find that accurate. You don't overcome, you learn to live with it and redefine yourself with this added invisible scar. There are the classic stages of...
01 Mar ‘If you enjoy therapy, you’re not doing it right’
