Our story…

As a psychologist, I get to see the upside and the downside to many things, including "Niceness."

From Niceness to Authenticity

Does this sound familiar to you…….”There was a long period in my life when I accepted that I was a nice person. I had buried the more testy aspects of my personality, at least outside the privacy of my home, in the hope that I would be accepted by everyone I met. It didn't work. After years of this behavior there were still people I was unable to win over with my smile and silence. Worse, I was losing the ability to express my thoughts and feelings. With increased frequency I began to experience anxiety before I spoke.”

I'm grateful for the work that Miles for Migraine does in creating spaces where people are able to be their authentic selves.
