                  A sailing  boat  symbolizes  freedom.  You  loosen  the  moorings,  set  your  sails,  decide  the 
                  course, and check weather and navigation and then you go where you want to go. 
                  Jean Paul Sartre says, “Freedom is what you do with what has been done to you” 
                  Psychotherapy is to help people get emotional and cognitive awareness about themselves so 
                  they can free themselves from their self-limiting patterns and bonds, leave their unsecure 
                  harbour and set new course in life.
