Addiction isn’t always black and white—it exists on a spectrum, and understanding where you or a loved one might fall on that continuum can be challenging. Especially in New Orleans, where over-imbibing is a well-advertised component of local culture and celebrations.

When life feels overwhelming—whether due to depression, anxiety, grief, or a season of transition—it’s easy to shut down, to feel stuck in the same cycles. But what if curiosity became the starting point for something different? What if, instead of wrestling with our struggles alone, we followed that tenuous, hopeful little thread toward healing?

Curiosity is often the quiet whisper that nudges us toward growth. It might start with a simple question: Is this all there is? Or, Why do I feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? It can be tempting to ignore these whispers and push through the discomfort, but curiosity asks us to lean into those moments and explore what’s beneath them. Therapy can be a path to that exploration—a safe space to uncover the causes of our struggles and begin the healing process.
