The New Moon not only represents the start of a new lunar cycle— it symbolizes new beginnings. It is a perfect time to reflect on old goals and to set new intentions… an opportunity to invite change into your life and to be open to new possibilities.

​

Consider for a moment how the decision to enter therapy is akin to this phase of the Moon… it is a choice that signals a desire to make a shift in the way you are living your life or coping with your circumstances. 

​

• Perhaps you are unhappy with the way you are showing up in your relationships or….

• Feeling like you are on a path that no longer serves or fulfills you or…

• Have concerns about how you are reacting to the stressors in your life or…

• Are burdened by intrusive memories and hurtful experiences from the past or…

• Struggle with how to quiet your “inner critic” and show compassion towards yourself

 

Just like the cycles of the moon, your capacity to meet the challenges that you have been presented with expands and contracts.  The good news is that you do not have to face them alone and the opportunities for fresh starts are continuous.
