Does this sound like you?

Do you ever get the feeling that you’re too much? That your grief is just too big, or that you ‘should be over it by now?’

Maybe you find yourself paralyzed despite the growing to-do list in front of you of tasks that “should” be manageable. Your inner critic is all you can hear, and you feel like you are letting everyone around you down. 

Maybe you don’t feel like your feelings aren’t “enough” to warrant therapy, but even still, you feel like you could (or should) be doing better than you are. You find yourself questioning why you can’t just move forward from those things you’d like to forget. 

Or maybe, you’re worried that even your therapist would judge you for how ‘messed up’ you are. That if you let people know the real you, they won’t like what they see. Have you experienced an unspeakable trauma that you don’t know how to even start processing? 

Every part of your story, the good, the hard, the unspeakable, they all matter. And they all add up to a story worth telling.

Can Therapy Help?

I wonder if you can imagine your story becoming one of hope. If you can see through the darkness to the light on the other side of your trauma. If you can believe in yourself enough to take the first step and seek help. Therapy is a place where you can quiet all the external voices, and find strategies that work with you to find pockets of peace in your daily life.
