You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."- C.S. Lewis
People facing adversity, regardless of age, need trust and understanding based on their current situation. Acknowledging the past is important, but it's equally crucial to understand it doesn't define their future.
This serves as a poignant reminder that the power to redefine our stories lies within us. Each decision we make, each step we take, contributes to the narrative we wish to create, offering endless possibilities for transformation and growth.
My experience in education and corrections has honed my ability to assist diverse clients and build rapport effectively.
Creating a safe space is crucial for establishing trust and collaboration between the client and the helper, supporting the client's journey and well-being.
