Is a huge wave approaching your small sailboat?
That’s how anxiety can feel. It’s overwhelming when you don’t know which way the wind will take you.
Are you always in your head?
If overthinking we a sport, you could be in the Olympics for overthinking.
You are always thinking about what you “should do” or “should have done.” There is so much fear and worry coming through you don’t even know how to stop – processing your day constantly and wondering what could be happening instead.
“What if” is how you begin your sentences, but with very little change or action to show for it.
Do you struggle to separate fact from fiction in your life?
It is so easy for someone like you to slip into a world where you are the person that you always wanted to be. Where you got the job, you’d never thought you’d land, found the relationship you thought would never happen, and you are sitting in the place you always said you would be at by a certain age.
You work on every detail in your head of this life that you could have had. It makes you happy and calm. You could smile just thinking about it. You can start getting to the point where you don’t even know what fact or fiction is when it comes to your feelings and need – you are not present and only want to feel safe and secure in your fictional thoughts.
What are you doing for relief… for just another day of survival?
When you wake up, you are already planning what you will do after work to relieve the stress and boredom of the day. You may even try and do something before the day is over to feel better.
Constantly on edge, you keep trying to find ways to feel better, even if it’s just for a moment. You can’t even imagine thriving when you are doing everything you can just to survive. You stress out just thinking about coping skills and what it feels like to get out of your comfort zone.
You want relief, but you can’t take a step off the path of fear and anxiety because you just feel like you can’t handle any more failure.
You can have more… and do more.
When you come to therapy, I help bring more peace and contentment to eliminate your anxiety.
I’ll show you how to process and understand what you fear, not just talking about it but explaining why you feel scared and why you can’t overcome the fear.
When we experience worry, we’re unable to move on from the fear alone.
I come alongside and show you what is possible and doable for you to change and process. I give you realistic homework that will help you see immediate awareness and change your anxiety. I do this by breaking down what is working and not working and giving you the therapeutic tools to change and make it work.
I bring confidence back into your narrative and remind you that you can handle so many things – and you don’t need to worry about them.
Let’s show the world that you’re not afraid!
You don’t have to be anxious. You don’t have just to survive.
We can make real changes, and you can be less anxious.
