Are you struggling with internal conflicts that hinder decision-making? Maybe it’s time to address these unresolved issues. After all, those who rise to their challenges are the ones who rise to new heights.
Dr. Bonnie Wims, therapist, and mental coach who got her doctorate in her 50s, is proof that it is never too late for personal growth. Her perspective is reflected in the belief that “unacknowledged pain doesn’t go away, it multiplies.” She advocates for continued self-work and acknowledges that she, too, continues to work on her setbacks. In her words: “The truth of who you are is not in what you are told or what you are taught, but rather the true nature of you is in what you choose.” Being vulnerable to see your behavior is hard, and we need support in that process. But we can do it!
Make a good choice and listen to this episode that will help you make the right steps towards therapy!
