Anxiety
and depression both ensnare the soul. The trap of anxiety is the helpless
overwhelming feeling of fear, and the fear of that feeling returning.
Anxiety keeps people stuck in their lives, in jobs, in relationships.
Life becomes circumscribed and limited, structured around an illusion
of safety and the longing for safety. Depression traps a person differently,
sucking out life energy, blanketing the mind and body with heaviness
and despair. Big and dark, depression is not something a person can “snap
out of.”
Anxiety and depression are rampant
in our society, taking a huge toll on the lives of millions of people.
For many of those people,
there is
a way out—a way to discover the source of those feelings and bring
healing. Peace and a genuine joy in being alive can return to their lives.
At STAR, we take the time to focus on each person, helping each discover
the roots of their distress—upsetting events, problematic relationships,
or disconnection from a genuine sense of self or purpose. We help people
find a path that will take them out of fear and darkness, and get them
back on course with their lives. Insight, experience, skills, connections,
and a good dose of inspiration come out of the work done at STAR. Get your
life back. Come to STAR.
