"Inherent in life is the presence of frustration, and its manifestation; stress. The essence of frustration is not being able to get what we want, how we want it, when we want it. It may sound selfish, but all of ourminds are wired to seek out the gratification of these urges. Courage is not defined by the absence of fear, rather the ability to face one’s fears in the face of feeling uncomfortable. Make no mistake though, not worrying about what others must be thinking, or not being frustrated by the traffic is definitely easier said than done. Can Therapy Help Me? The kinds of individuals and problems that can be helped by therapy are too vast to be listed here, but one's motivation to understand themselves and openness to the process are important for each person who strives to be helped by therapy."
