Olesya’s Message to Clients

​

Have you ever felt like things will never get better or that there is no point in trying? Or perhaps you feel that no one can understand your pain, and you berate yourself and feel guilty? Or maybe you are seeing the world through a negative lens, expecting the worst in every situation?

Sometimes, when current life stressors or thoughts about our past overwhelm us, it seems that our lives stop. We may feel that we are not the same anymore, and life will never be enjoyable. Sometimes we may experience excruciating emotional pain that seems to never go away.
