A few years ago I was morbidly obese, isolated from relationships, and deeply cynical and unhappy about life. Thanks to therapy, I have been able to slowly but surely peel away the layers of unprocessed trauma and abuse that were causing so much of my misery and internal angst. Now I live a life that is unrecognizable to that I was living just a short time ago. To go from an obese hermit to a fit, socially-active person with meaningful relationships and an optimistic outlook on life is proof that anyone can change their life for the better.
For those who visit this blog and for those who are still dealing with past traumas and emotional difficulties, let me just say this: I see you, I hear you, and I am with you. You are not alone in your struggles, and you can absolutely find happiness. If I can do it, anyone can.
