The Victims Dilemma

The victims of psychological abuse and mental violence often need emotional abuse therapy. Sometimes this is the only way for them to overcome the emotional damage. For some victims, their mental state leaves them emotionally drained just by going about everyday business. This is no way to live, and in many cases life can get a lot better once the victim seeks help. Without having sound emotional balance and stability in one’s life, living is hard work. It becomes an effort just to achieve even the smallest of tasks.

I have met with MJ ( Marissa) Jordan at the Johnson City,TN location for 5-6 sessions. My main issue is gaining understanding and knowledge of how and why I act the way I do, and what changes I need to make. Her ability to help me understand and change without feeling bad about myself is amazing! She uses enlightening personal examples that make it easy for me to comprehend. I am learning so much about how making a few positive changes will allow me to become a better person. I highly suggest MJ if you're looking for help with personal issues!
