Escape hatch here

In my initial conversations with new clients, there's a crucial question that I ask – have you ever found yourself thinking about hurting yourself or others? It's a question that can lead to uncovering layers of emotion. More often than not, the response I hear is something like, "Not exactly, but I just want things to stop." As we dig further, a common thread emerges – it's not about a desire for harm, but a yearning to escape the overwhelming weight of despair. This is a sentiment that echoes for many individuals, far more common than we might think. It's about seeking a respite, a way out from the grip of negativity, whether that's feeling lost in a haze of depression, drowning in frustration, or struggling with a sense of helplessness. These emotions can overwhelm us, and at those times, all we crave is a momentary reprieve. The truth is, we've all been there – when life's challenges seem insurmountable and all we desire is a break. Sometimes, we look at the people around us, hoping they'll change to make our world better. But here's the real power – change begins with us. It's those subtle shifts, those minor adjustments that can lead to remarkable transformations. It might mean setting boundaries to protect our well-being, embracing acceptance of others, recognizing the need for support, or simply practicing better self-care.
