Divorce & separation - Questioning or feeling unsatisfied in your relationship; contemplation and navigation of separation; addressing issues of power, voice, and communication challenges

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Healing painful experiences and memories from the past

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) - Reducing unwanted intrusive thoughts and rituals by gradually building comfort and confidence facing difficult fears, thoughts, and emotions.

Non Suicidal Self Harm (Skin picking, Cutting, burning) - Non suicidal self-injury, often simply called self-injury, is the act of harming your own body on purpose, such as by cutting, burning yourself or skin picking.
