It gets all foggy and the more emotions we have, the less we can see through the fog. And so, what I help them to do is just to bring their thinking out and take a look at it. And if we can look at it out here, then they can see what's getting in the way of them making their choices taking action.” 02:27 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Marcia: “They feel stuck.
