Something feels off, but you’re not sure what.
Everyone believes you’ve got it figured it out, even when you don’t.
You’re responsible and reliable, and you always try your best. And always try to do the right thing.
But no matter how much you plan, something always gets in the way. Something always comes up.
Connecting with the people and things you once found comforting is harder. But the thought of unpacking the clutter in your heart and mind is enough to keep you where you are.
You’re strong for others. Who’s strong for you?
You are the caretakerof the group, the strong friend, and the responsible one for your age.
Showing up for people comes naturally to you. You’re the person no one worries about, but that just doesn’t cut it anymore.
It’s OK to want reciprocity in your relationships.
You can be strong and fragile at the same time.
You never had time to be happy.
Maybe you never had the chance to realize what it means to be happy because you were too busy trying to be strong.
Regarding priorities, you always come last, and your concerns never get addressed.
Underneath the crushing weight of societal rules, what other people think, expectations, impressing others, saying yes when you mean no, and other peoples’ influence resides the person you can be and want to be.
Ignoring the desire for a different life isn’t an option anymore.
There is a way to thrive and be happy.
Therapy is an opportunity to shed who you once were and who you’ve had to be to make it this far. Through therapy, you can identify what no longer works for you.
Individual therapy offers a time for you to gain self-awareness, explore your options, learn ways to cope with the stressors you encounter, establish boundaries, and set goals for yourself. You can learn to depend on the person you’re becoming, learn about old feelings that find their way into new experiences, and understand how to carry both your past and present into the life you truly desire.
As a therapist, I offer my clients a space free from judgment. My role is to listen, gain an understanding of your needs, and help you develop the tools necessary for achieving your goals. Our time together is a relationship that involves you finding a way to move forward and live YOUR life for a change.
