"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space, is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." ~Viktor FranklIn today's short episode, I discuss this amazing quote, how it related to a therapy client, and how we can apply it to our daily lives and empower ourselves to control our responses. I also talk about why I believe everyone needs therapy and why it should be accessible to everyone.
