Individual Therapy
Every day feels overwhelming in some way.
“I can’t keep up.”
“It’s too much.”
“Tiredness doesn’t even begin to capture what I feel.”
You know all the lifehacks and the ways to make it all work (according to the experts). But you just can’t keep up.
It’s not because you don’t know how to manage your to-do list – no, no, no. It’s more of an internal problem.
It’s that constant voice in your mind that says, “You’re not doing a good enough job… she’s a better mom than you… I can’t believe you just yelled at your kids…”
That inner critic has A LOT to say to you, I know. And according to that inner critic, you are never getting it right.
But you are certainly trying – all the damn time.
But it’s never enough.
You meal-planned for the week and laid out the perfectly scheduled workout regime. You made sure your kids aren’t eating too much sugar, and your bullet journal is ready to go, and you made the dinner for the neighbors who just had their baby, and you just finished cleaning your house, and yet, it still feels… empty and not enough.
Can I tell you something?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
I know what it’s like to live with the incessant voice of shame, telling you that you’re just not there.
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re constantly failing and always trying at the same time.
I know what it’s like to know your inner critic’s voice more than the sound of your own.
That disconnection and constant striving are utterly exhausting and, my friend, not sustainable. You will not ever get a high five from that inner critic or hear “job well done,” no matter how hard you try.
There’s this scene in a movie that I talk about all the time…
And it beautifully illustrates what individual therapy is all about.
Maybe you’ve seen it… it’s called “Runaway Bride.” In it, there’s a scene where Maggie (played by the impeccable Julia Roberts) is sitting on her kitchen counter with five different plates of eggs, all cooked in different ways.
You see, she had spent most of her life just simply going along with what others around her liked or wanted or thought. Now that she was single and by herself for the first time, she needed to know…
How did SHE like her eggs?
This scene might seem silly, but think about it: We often have a clearer idea about what the inner critic says we should be or want or what others want (or what we think they want) than we do about what WE want for ourselves.
My friend… it’s time for you to know how YOU like YOUR eggs!
Because, as you know… going through life disconnected from yourself and overly connected to others just isn’t working.
We’ll hold this time and space just for you to do your work…
You don’t have to fight for it, earn it, or do anything to maintain it. It’s yours.
Knowing yourself better…
By having the space to explore who you are and who you are not, without the fear of disappointing someone.
Giving yourself more grace…
By entering into a space where nonjudgment and compassion fill the room, you are allowed just to be.
Disengaging from the thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you…
By taking the time to assess how your thoughts are structured and your beliefs are navigating the trajectory of your life, we will see what is serving you and what you can release. You can change your thinking, I promise.
Feeling rooted within yourself…
By no longer leaning into constantly trying to appease or please the inner critic or everyone else in the world, learning to have healthy boundaries, and feeling a greater connection to yourself, you will know who you are, what you want, and how to operate in your life. You will feel empowered to become yourself.
Are you ready to come back home to yourself?
Individual therapy can help you find yourself again, giving you the skills and confidence you need to be who you really are and thrive in life.
And I know that you might be thinking that therapy isn’t for you… that other people need it way more than you do. But that’s just not true – you deserve to live into your one, wild, and precious life (thank you, Mary Oliver).
