Mental Health Buddy System

Not everyone’s head is like this, but for some people, this quote from Augusten Burroughs makes a whole lot of sense, "Think of your head as an unsafe neighborhood; don't go there alone.” When you are struggling with significant emotional pain, intrusive thoughts, a harsh inner critic, traumatic flashbacks, or any number of mental health ailments, it can be scary, and sometimes you can end up lost and hurt trying to navigate it all by yourself. It can feel less scary if you allow a trusted guide (like a therapist) to walk through there with you. Maybe we can revamp the neighborhood while we are at it!
