Life can often be difficult and hard. At times during our life, it may seem like there are no options and nowhere to turn. We find ourselves confused and uncertain of how we are thinking and feeling. During these times we often feel like no one understands us and/or no one cares. Life can require us to work through changes and transitions. We, as humans, are creatures of habit and like things to be stable and remain the same. So when life requires us to change, it can be difficult. We have to let go of the way things were and to create life in the new situation. Going through this process can result in a number of different feelings that can be scary and difficult to experience. At other times, life can be challenging due to difficulties in our relationships with people that we love or are important in our lives. This may be our spouse, children, parent(s), boss, teacher or friend.

Maintaining relationships and dealing with others often seems intolerable and impossible. In dealing with these or other life difficulties, we often learn to cope in unhealthy ways, through drugs, alcohol, excessive work, uncontrollable anger or feelings of desperation and despair. These coping strategies are never long term fixes. Carol Keymer's Learning Dynamics is here to help, support and develop alternative ways to resolve life’s difficulties.
