“Happiness as the byproduct of living your life in a fulfilling way is a worthy goal, but happiness as the end goal is kind of a recipe for disaster.”

Lori opens up about her own experiences as both a therapist and a patient, offering a unique perspective that is both enlightening and relatable.
She dives into the importance of vulnerability and accountability in therapy, explaining how these elements can transform lives.
