There are a number of benefits from participating in psychotherapy. Sometimes just knowing
that there is someone available who understands can be healing. Therapy can also provide an opportunity for a fresh
perspective on a problem, or it can point you in the direction of alternative solutions. Many people find therapy
to be a tremendous tool for managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, and the challenges of
daily life. Psychotherapy can help us discover our inner tools and resources, which in turn allows us to grow
and to better use life's challenges as means of empowerment.
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning
a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome
and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight
The dark thought, the shame,
the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes,
because
each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
