Counseling & Psychotherapy Therapist: Hello, Freddie. Is there anything in particular that you wanted to start off talking about today?

However, true fulfillment and the peace which you seek come from identifying one's own values and acting on them. What do you value?

F: It's funny, ever since that car accident I've been asking myself the same question and I just don't know. Really all I do is work, and go to see my…
