Are you feeling powerless in your life? Are you feeling like things aren’t changing and you aren’t sure what steps to take? Do you feel trapped by your thoughts and ruminating over things that happened in your past or worries about your future? Do you feel burned out on past trauma and want to feel good again? I am here to say there is so much you have control and can do to instantly change the direction of your life.
