We could all benefit from professional help. Getting counseling might be the best thing you ever do for yourself.

If you were broken and bruised from childhood abuse or neglect, or sexually abused as a teenager or young adult, you don’t have to keep tiptoeing around the minefield of your past to avoid explosions of shame, anger and rage. You don’t have to feel desperate and hungry and lost your whole life.

There is joy on the other side of all that pain. Find it.
