About

What this work keeps showing me is that people are far harder on themselves than the situation warrants. Almost everybody arrives having concluded that they are weak, lazy, or ungrateful, and almost nobody arrives having concluded that they are unwell. The self-assessment is part of the condition. Persistent low mood distorts your view of yourself first and your circumstances second, which is why the harshest judgements tend to arrive exactly when they are least accurate. We treat those judgements as symptoms rather than as evidence. That shift in view alone changes a surprising amount. Recommendation is how my practice filled, mostly by people who came in convinced they were simply defective. They were not. If you have concluded that you are the problem, get in touch. Being unwell and being weak are entirely different findings, and only one of them is true. That finding is worth trusting.
