All of your parts and all of your feelings are important.
Even the ones that are unpleasant or difficult to be with. The trick is to figure out how they fit into your life story. Alleviation of symptoms like depression and anxiety is often just the tip of the iceberg. Therapy can bring about big changes in the way you see the world you live in and the way you live in it. You may find yourself feeling more alive and creative and more willing and able to share yourself with others. You may even discover parts of yourself you didn’t know were there.
