Friendly help for everyone but you…
Along the way in life, you’ve learned that other people need help sometimes. Often, those people will come to you.
You’ve become accustomed to being the strong friend, you give great advice, and, generally, it makes you feel good to be helpful to others.
But when you find yourself in the same space that you’ve helped so many through – struggling with feeling important, having a hard time communicating your needs, overwhelmed by the weeks – let’s be real, after years of not protecting your boundaries… who do you call?
You struggle with making YOU the priority.
The language required for reaching out or explaining how you feel is foreign to you.
Maybe it’s been a long time since you’ve learned to prioritize yourself, or perhaps you’ve never really learned how.
Maybe the advice that you’ve been pouring out freely to others for years was coming from the things you wished that you had the time to do for yourself.
Today gets to be different.
Today, you get to make an active choice to center your relationship with yourself, to put your needs exactly where they belong – at the forefront of your life.
You get the opportunity to invest in your well-being.
It’s time for you to process and unpack, to learn the language of self-care and healthy connections to others that include a two-way expectation rather than giving and giving but never taking.
Consider yourself for a change.
We invite you – no, implore you – to be self-centered in this space.
You have friends and family, but they aren’t therapy. Therapy is an opportunity to talk and think through those things when others are too personally invested to be objective.
We offer you an opportunity to speak freely and think while having someone to come alongside. We will help you to reflect on your revelations and provide some vocabulary and research to make sense of those thoughts and feelings that have been making you think, “I must be the only one in the world!”
Therapy provides a path to healing.
While your circumstances and experiences are unique, your path toward healing is not unattainable.
Healing and walking through traumatic events, making sense of childhood experiences and giving them the full weight of their impact on who you are as an adult, understanding the source of your knee-jerk reactions, and beginning to develop hope for a better version of your life – these are not easy things!!
Therapy is not always comfortable; but if you trust the process (and ask questions as often as possible!), you’ll find that it is always rewarding.
Reasons for therapy are unique and personal.
Some come to therapy to work through something in particular and then are done with this phase of being a client.
Others are what we affectionately call, “therapy-lifers.” What is important to know is that these are not people who habitually have problems, but rather these are people who see the need to consistently have their own safe space to make sense of an ever-changing world and their place within it.
So, don’t delay your breakthroughs any longer.
