What if you could wake up tomorrow and feel like YOU were in control; not anxiety, depression, trauma, or whatever else is dominating your life right now?

What if you could finally build up the courage to tell someone "no" and really mean it this time? What if you could stop asking yourself "what if" and start making things a realty?
