You replay conversations on the drive home, wondering if you said too much. Someone’s tone changes, and you start thinking about what you did wrong. You say “it’s fine” because explaining why you’re hurt feels harder than swallowing it. Then you lie awake thinking about everything you wish you’d said. People come to you because you’re the one who holds it together. But when you need support, you stare at your phone, unsure who to call or how to say, “I’m having a hard time.” You wish someone would notice without you having to reach a breaking point first. Maybe you’re tired of agreeing to things and quietly resenting them. Tired of needing space, then feeling guilty when you take it. Tired of knowing exactly what everyone else needs while struggling to answer, “What do I want?” In therapy, we’ll start with those moments. The text you keep rewriting. The conversation you’re avoiding. The “yes” you gave when you wanted to say no. Together, we’ll explore what makes those situations so difficult and practice responding in ways that make room for your needs, too. That might mean telling someone they hurt you without immediately apologizing. Taking an evening to yourself without spending it making sure nobody is upset. Asking for reassurance without calling yourself needy. Or learning to trust a decision without checking with three other people first. Book directly on my website!
