Therapy creates a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, assess their thought processes, and deepen their connections with others. People may seek therapy for a variety of reasons. For some, the decision to consult a therapist arises gradually as they recognize their ability to function in life is not where they want it to be or is deteriorating. In these cases, their usual coping mechanisms may falter, leaving them overwhelmed by guilt, doubt, anxiety, trauma, or despair. Others may pursue therapy from a more positive standpoint, driven by a desire for self-exploration and personal growth. Meet Yoon Im Kane: psychotherapist, author, educator, and speaker.
