In my work as a therapist, I often meet clients who feel that hope and hopelessness are
mutually exclusive that for one to exist, the other cannot. Yet, by exploring how these two
feelings can coexist, we can discover unexpected comfort and peace.

Hopelessness often appears as dark, familiar, and strangely comforting, like lying under a
heavy duvet in a dark room a place free from the uncertainties of the outside world. Hope,
on the other hand, is bright and sometimes overwhelming. It comes with the unknown, the
possibility of both joy and disappointment.
