"There's no time like the present" is one answer, and it may be good advice in some situations, but perhaps not with therapy. It is generally considered to work best when someone seeks therapy, of their own free will; it is much harder to engage with anything when someone else thinks it would be a good idea. But there's another argument too. And that one is not just about therapy.
What is most urgent for most people when they are suffering is to reduce the pain. When I ask people in distress “Which is most important, to understand why you have this problem, or to be free of it?” they almost invariably reply “to be free of the problem”. It helps to distinguish between cause, why something happened, and the effect, what needs fixing to have relief from a problem.
I’d love it if you could attend the first of my free monthly webinars on 11th February. Partly because I want to reach as many people as possible with these ideas.

There are still some places left, so please sign up.

Every coin has two sides, and in our freshly minted best intentions we are often thwarted by our own fear of failure. Successful people use a different currency.

I cannot remember one that touched what parenting is really about. Most of us want our children to grow into independent, free-thinking, fair and honest adults. Just like we are. Here are some thoughts, gleaned from experience (135 child-years of it!).
Everyone is so naturally successful at so much stuff it not only boggles the mind it also awes the spirit. Success is inescapable, unavoidable, inevitable and often imminent. Its all a question of what you choose to concentrate on.
Everything is evolving. This includes us. You and I, and ...
It seems to be a given that self-knowledge and contentment go hand-in-hand. Maybe you've already embarked on a journey of self-discovery, maybe not. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and not everyone can do it for themselves. If you are interested but don't know how to go about it, here's some reading to get you started.
It is easy and natural to focus only on problems when they arise, but it can mean that we neglect what is important to us. When we want to change a situation – get rid of or lose something – it's just as important to think about what we want to keep. If not, we risk losing something valuable.
