The idea of failure is a theme that has been emerging within my practice and in my own life. Failure is part of the human experience, and the fear of failing often propels us to keep moving forward. Over this past year, failing seems like a prerequisite to living. The pandemic has tested every one of us, creating challenges that we could never have expected. I have seen so many individuals tackle these obstacles head-on, but amidst this struggle comes deep feelings of failure.

This year has been incredibly stressful, overwhelming, and for some traumatic. The pandemic has increased feelings of fear, disconnection, and isolation.
