A Note From Phillip
At Brightside you’ll find comfort, hope and support. People typically seek counseling when they feel disconnected from their significant other. They generally feel hurt or betrayed and that they are at the end of their rope. May I offer some compassion for the trauma and hopelessness that you’ve been living with, but also compliment you on having the courage to reach out for help.
