If there's one experience in life that is guaranteed, it's change. Change comes in many forms; accomplishment, loss, crisis. Sometimes we lead the change in our lives, sometimes we're forced to follow it - kicking and screaming. I believe that how one negotiates change and transition is connected to our mental health. I believe that we all can engage with where we can make a difference, while riding and negotiating when reality is out of our hands. For me, therapy is a rehearsal ground for this dance of negotiating and locating agency in our lives.
