# Welcome to my blog
The media is filled with cliched easily digested advice that makes you feel better for a moment, but is of no lasting value. My purpose in writing this blog is to address this misinformation and these oversimplified ideas regarding how to free yourself from psychological distress. I want to help you clear away what does not work, and show you how to truly escape the chains that hold you back from living a life that is creatively alive.
To gain value from this blog, you must be ready to learn. To be ready to learn is to feel the need for something new. If the way you have been looking at your situation, and the way you have been trying to resolve your problem situation had worked, you would not be reading this. Feeling the need for something new, and a willingness to experiment with new ways of acting are all that is needed to bring about change in your life.
