“Girl, you got it all together!”
That’s what they say.
But inside, you’re running on adrenaline and you feel like you’re barely holding on.
You’re doing the responsible adult things like showing up, getting things done, and holding it down, but you’re exhausted. Your mind won’t stop, your body always feels “on,” and you can’t truly relax…even when you’re off the clock.
You feel stuck in survival mode, like you’re constantly pushing yourself just to keep up.
So instead, you go through your days wearing a mask, feeling like you’re always trying to be “fine,” overworking or overachieving in order to feel in control, people-pleasing to avoid conflict, emotionally numb or easily irritated, or drained even when you’re not “doing the most.”
You catch yourself thinking, “When will I finally get a break?” And finally, you realize that the break never comes, because you body doesn’t know how to rest.
Therapy with me is when talking isn’t enough.
When you’ve tried everything and nothing is changing, we go deeper. I utilize a combination of Brainspotting and other somatic tools to target the brain and body, because your mind can’t truly heal until your body feels safe.
Ready to feel like yourself again? I’m here, let’s connect.
