Empathy is one of the most powerful tools for building strong, lasting friendships. At its core, empathy is about understanding and sharing someone else’s feelings—not just feeling sorry for them, but truly connecting on an emotional level. If you want to strengthen your friendships, improving your empathy is a great place to start.

Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Am I really healing, or am I stuck in the same old patterns?” Or maybe you even wonder whether therapy is "working" The truth is, progress is not always speedy or linear. Signs of healing are often more subtle, and it can be hard to notice the ways you're growing if you don't take the time to look back at where you started!

Check out our latest blog for some signs that you're making progress and areas where you might still be growing!
