Depression can often feel like a dark, forbidding cloud that can zap your energy, rob you of being able to feel any emotion and take away any pleasure in things you used to enjoy.
Anxiety is a future oriented sense of worry attached to “what ifs.” It is not something that has actually happened.
You may not even know you have been traumatized. You just grow up thinking what went on in your own family was the same thing other families were going through. It is your “normal”.
The reality is you can’t out run, self-harm, numb or dissociate yourself out of what has happened. But you already know that because you more than likely tried one or all of these.
Loss can be many things, from losing a loved one to a lost opportunity to grieving a piece of ourselves that no longer exists.
Let’s talk through the transition you are going through and what the struggles are. I can listen to what you are saying with an empathetic ear, giving you a safe place for you to air your problems and provide you the help you need.
Telehealth is very effective for many mental health challenges and not appropriate for others, such as someone who is experiencing visual or audio hallucinations, having thoughts of suicide or self-harm and thinking about acting on those.
Relationships get to the point of being on life support because each person gets stuck at the point they were wounded as a child. The way to improve an existing or new relationship is to do your own work and untangle your own childhood wounds.
If work is your #1 priority and you need your daily fix or you go into withdrawal, then you are probably out of balance. I can help you look at the spaces that your career imbalance is filling for you and figure out why they are too scary for you to look at.
If if felt like no one could see or hear you in your family growing up, I can help you learn how to give yourself what you did not get.
