Susan’s approach to treatment is reality based. She believes life’s path offers choices. Frost said, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Sometimes we travel the easier path thinking it will be less painful, but by taking the path less traveled, although it may be more difficult, we find purpose, peace and strength. This in turn makes us all the stronger for our next journey.
