How do you honor where you're at and find the balance between honoring and pushing? Much of the healing you do is in relationship with others. There may also be an expectation that you will "arrive" at a permanent state of healing or peace, and then you judge yourself when you drop back into the struggle. Specific tools are provided for when you're back in the "meh." PODCAST HOST Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.
