“With careful and active listening, Alex constructively challenged me on my thinking and deeply held views I’ve carried for a long time, in a kind and patient way. Having focused time to reflect and move forward on my mindset to try to be more kind to myself (my goal) in doing what I have capacity for, while negotiating competing priorities left me feeling more in control, more at peace and with some steps to take to make small and focused improvements for myself. I’m so grateful for those hours to help me build a sustainable foundation for not only surviving but thriving as much as possible too”
