In truth, the biggest conversation I have with clients is, “I feel unloved, taken for granted, overlooked, unappreciated” This is the same for both men and women.
The truth is most people say “…I honestly have everything I could ever want, and yet, I am so not ok. Something must be wrong with me. I should be happy”. Happiness like this is like trying to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Because these keys of happiness are myths.
