A Walk Through My Life

I want to start off by asking you a few questions. I hope that’s alright. How far away are you from achieving your dreams? How far away are you from breaking that toxic relationship you have been holding onto? How far away are you from taking that most needed break?

I love asking tough questions about life – the ones people dislike or have no answers to (just like the ones above). Hi, Emily Lawson on the other end. I am a counseling psychologist residing in San Francisco. Listening to people and helping them solve their problems is what wakes me up every single day.

I believe in living every day to the fullest. This is possible only when the fire within you burns relentlessly. The fire I thrive by is Emotions.

Emotions fascinate me. When I see someone angry or upset, I start wondering how I would feel if I were in their shoes. My train of thought doesn’t stop there. It goes on to think about how I would solve the problem. This is the main reason I dived into psychology.

Helping people comes with its own pros and cons. Some people love and follow the advice I give, while others frown upon my suggestions. But I don’t give up. The more I encounter blockages, the better I get.

Since I meet tons of people every day, and help them walk on a less thorny path, I would like to write about some lessons I have learned and the advice that has worked out in the past.
