My therapist has offered a very open and welcoming environment for me to speak freely. I love that this is more of a conversation where tools are given, prior to Light on Anxiety I was meeting with someone who would just understand how my feelings must be difficult. Often times I felt worse leaving those sessions than I did going into them, but at Light on Anxiety I leave feeling like I am moving in the right direction
