Treatment is about understanding how things from your past affect who you are today. During our early years, we create our own perceptions of others and ourselves. These perceptions become our reality. This reality determines how we feel, what we think, and how we handle certain stressors. When we come to learn about how our reality was formed and maintained we are then free to feel and think differently in the present. We can then make better choices in life without repeating maladaptive patterns.
