Something’s not right.
It feels like there’s an invisible wall between you and the life you want to live. It shows up when you try to move forward in any number of personal, emotional, relational, and/or vocational endeavors. Attempts to change destructive behavior, or reduce depression and/ or anxiety symptoms hit the same wall- and attempting to improve patterns of communication, or efforts to repair, improve, or leave troubled relationships may feel impossible.
