571880827I just don’t understand…

None of my relationships work out. Maybe I’m not capable of being in a healthy relationship.

Nothing goes right. Everything I touch turns to ashes. I hate my job. I hate my commute. I hate everything. I hate… myself…

What if this isn’t the right decision? What if I made a huge mistake? What if they find out? What if I mess up my kids? What if my partner is only pretending to be happy with me? What if I lose my job?

Behind the smiles…

The pressure to succeed is overwhelming. The fear of making mistakes is smothering. You can’t shake the feeling that nothing is going right. But you keep on smiling. Fake it ‘til you make it. Or until you can’t get out of bed anymore.

You can’t keep going like this.

You don’t have to.

You don’t have to hide your feelings in a bowl of ice cream. You don’t have to fill your virtual shopping cart to feel full. You don’t have to numb the emotions to be successful. You don’t have to hide your hurts in a bottle, a bed, social media, or a hookup.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
– Anne Lamott

1078967645Welcome to individual therapy!

This is where you get to be you. So, kick back, drink your coffee, and put your burdens on the floor.

Whether you want to talk, cry, yell, scream, or sit in silence (or all of the above), this is the place to do it.

For once in your life, you are not alone in your pain. Let’s unpack it, look at it, and decide what stays and what goes. Leave here a little lighter… a little brighter… a little more YOU.

Let’s get real.

Come on in. Bring your stories, your shields, your defenses.

Come tell me how great your life is and how much better it would be “If only….”

Getting real in therapy means being honest with yourself. We can write, talk, draw, use worksheets, spreadsheets – anything to help organize your thoughts and feelings and help you make sense of it all.

Shame dies when stories are shared with a caring individual. Whether we focus on making sense of “why,” dealing with the “what,” or even the “how” of the thing that weighs you down, we will do it together in a caring, nonjudgmental environment.

Bring your tears. We can comfort you.

Bring your rage. We can make you safe.

Bring your tears. We can heal. Together.

You are not alone!

When you’ve decided you’re done living in pain, call me.

Reach out today, and we will schedule a free 15-minute consultation: (928) 968-3219. We can talk about your struggles and how therapy can help.

Together, we will journey down a path toward freedom from emotional chains. Let’s get started today.
