Do you feel like you are carrying everyone else’s needs on your shoulders while ignoring your own? You may be the one people rely on, the helper, the responsible one, or the “strong one.” You overthink conversations, replay decisions, and feel guilty saying no, even when you are exhausted. On the outside, you look capable and put together. On the inside, you may feel anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself. You may want to set boundaries and speak up for yourself, but guilt or fear of conflict often gets in the way. When you are constantly trying to keep the peace and avoid letting others down, it can feel hard to relax or even know what you need anymore. Over time, putting others first can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of yourself. This is a common experience for many of the high-functioning clients I work with. I know reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and understood throughout your journey. You do not have to keep holding everything together alone.
