Personal Statement

It's all About Change.

We all deal with changes. Change is inevitable in our lives and you can either manage change and shape it to your advantage, or let those changes manage and shape you.

We all have abilities to cope with most of the changes in our lives. Some of us don't realize that we posses those abilities and feel overwhelmed in dealing with the accompanying stress.

At other times we are perfectly capable of handling ordinary situations and changes, but find ourselves in unexpected or extreme situations for which our normal coping skills seem to be inadequate.

Whatever the sources of your stress, the result could be anxious or depressed moods, panic attacks and more.
