Therapy for learning to trust, accept, and put yourself first again

There is nothing wrong with you. You don’t need to be “fixed.” I imagine you have been fighting for a long time to be seen, heard, and understood. You are not alone or crazy. I see you.
Context matters. You have been learning how to survive in the world since the day you were born. Everything you have tried up until this point has “worked” as you are still here and able to read these words. But it is no longer effective.
What I see is: you care too much. It is hard to be yourself in a world that feels like it’s eat or get eaten. Therapy is a space to be soft in a world that makes you become hard, be angry in a society that expects you to pretend it is all okay, and be curious instead of having to know it all.
What would it be like to reconnect to who you are underneath all the conditioning? How would you act? How would you feel? Who would be there to support you?

Reframe being “stuck”
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Therapy for when just “talking about it” is not enough.

Our inner dialogue is not always kind: “I am not good enough” “I don’t matter,” “nobody would care if I wasn’t here,” “I can’t get what I need.”
I don’t have all the answers, but I have experienced many versions of these thoughts myself. I am here to support you, human to human.
It takes more than “talk therapy” to heal these wounds. We have to listen, allow, and learn what these messages are trying to tell us.
With careful attention and attunement, we will work together to express what’s been hiding underneath all these rules and expectations.
There can be grief in healing. Including having to accept your actions have helped in your survival and cost you so much. Being angry with and forgiving the people that have reinforced these patterns.
You know how to think. You know what to do. I am not here to tell you the answers. I am here to encourage curiosity while we break down the barriers, patterns, and fears that keep you from your peace and authenticity.
It’s time to stop self-abandoning be good to yourself first. This is how we make our lives, relationships, and our corner of the world better.
