Individual Therapy for Women
Overscheduled, overworked, and overwhelmed…
Life seems like it’s moving too fast. You can’t keep up the way you used to, and everything feels chaotic. You’re so “on the go” that it would probably be hard to sit still even if you had the time.
Trying to figure everything out in your head. Problem-solving for every scenario that doesn’t exist yet – just in case.
The world does not stop. You feel like you are drowning in a sea of tasks.
Failing on all fronts.
Overscheduled with your children’s school obligations and sporting events, overworked with your career.
No matter how much time and effort you put in, your coworkers are passing you by and overwhelmed by the mental workload of remembering birthdays, groceries, scheduling, finances, and running a household.
Stop stuffing all your feelings. It isn’t helping.
It feels unsafe to sense anger, sadness, loneliness, or pain, so you take a deep breath, blink back the stinging tears and swallow hard to push that lump down that has worked its way up to the middle of your throat.
Pull it together. They can’t see me like this!… just get through this day… tomorrow, I will do better.
Feeling the strain of the mental workload on your relationship with your partner? Snapping at your children? Canceling plans with friends?
Stuffing your feelings down and not allowing yourself to have boundaries, ask for help, or say no is causing you to feel contempt – rage even – and you don’t know how to get out of this cycle.
When did I start to resent my favorite things in life!? This is not me…
The critical voice in your head…
It won’t stop telling you that you’re not enough, and it’s agonizing!
If I were a good mom, I wouldn’t lose my temper or yell at my kids.
If I were a good wife, I would want to be intimate with my partner.
If I were good at my job, I would get that promotion and stop being distracted.
Why can’t I just keep the house as clean as everyone else does?
A good mom would make a healthy dinner every night.
If I could just exercise, I could lose this weight. I am just lazy.
Close your eyes, shake your head, and take a couple of deep breaths.
This negativity has seeped into every aspect of your life, causing pain, confusion, and self-doubt that you would do just about anything to avoid feeling.
Of course, you just want to “numb out.”
So, you stay busy with work, doom-scroll on Instagram, binge Netflix, shop, or have a couple of drinks.
These are nice temporary fixes, but then…
The guilt…
The loneliness…
The regret…
“Why don’t I just ask for help?”
But why do I need help?!
I should just be grateful.
You dismiss yourself again with toxic positivity. Stuffing your feelings and plastering on another fake smile. Only to muscle through another day that ends with the promise to yourself that tomorrow will be different. And repeat the cycle.
So here you are, still trying to figure it all out alone.
Reach out to someone who gets it.
Imagine sharing with someone all those “negative” emotions and unmet needs. Therapy allows you to say the things OUT LOUD – to hear it outside your own mind. When you verbally process in this way, you can gain new clarity and insight.
All of the figuring out that you do alone is finally shared with another, making space in your head for what you truly value. Knowing that you are seen, heard, understood, and fully accepted creates calm.
It’s time for change to start.
Therapy gives you a place to explore and identify your strengths and capabilities and learn to call upon those to improve positive experiences in your life while letting go of those habits and patterns that you identify as unhelpful.
We’ll explore the beliefs, standards, and patterns you inherited that maybe no longer positively serve you. A place where you can slow down and be a human being – with feelings, thoughts, and ideas. A place where you do not need to fix. You just are.
We’re here, and we want to hear all of it.
Boot-strapping yourself through one more day and feeling guilty at the end isn’t working. It’s time for you to get the individualized attention that you deserve.
Life is not a project. You are not a project. It is meant to be a journey.
Make therapy part of your journey today and work toward that sustainable transformation you’ve been looking for.
You are not meant to do this alone.
