It can be difficult to go through life, when things like stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma get in the way.
Regular counseling or psychotherapy with qualified specialists helps you get through it and make progress in your life.
Speaking with a therapist and receiving counseling is the best thing you can give yourself when you find yourself struggling with how you feel.
