When comfort becomes you compass,
emptiness can become your destination.

Good Therapy vs. Identity Therapy
Good therapy should not turn suffering into identity.
Its goal is to help people reconnect with life, relationships, meaning, and workable action.
A Life Beyond Just Feeling Good
One unintended consequence of the prevailing disease or mental disorder model is that life slowly becomes a competition over who feels the best, the happiest, the most confident, or the least distressed.
But if feeling good were the ultimate purpose of living, we would expect our final tributes and epitaphs to celebrate people mainly for how good they felt about themselves.
We know that’s rarely the case.
Most obituaries are not about who felt the happiest.
They are about what people did.
How they loved.
What they built.
Who they helped.
What they stood for.
