The pressures of modern life affect us more seriously than we like to think – and some are more sensitive to stress and tragedy than others.  Multiple studies support a substantial rise in mental illness in the past several decades, especially in ultra-modernized developed countries where work, home, relationships, and life are more complex than ever.

Perhaps even scarier than realizing and accepting the fact that you need help is actually seeking it.  Finding a therapist you feel comfortable sharing the most intimate facets of your life with can be daunting, as the environment in which you place yourself during a vulnerable time can completely change or even negate the beneficial effects of the experience.
