About

You are exhausted from always putting yourself last—caring for others while quietly running on empty. Part of you knows something isn’t working, but that voice is often overshadowed by a strong inner critic telling you to push through. You’ve read the books, tried to think your way out of it, practiced acceptance, and pushed through a lot of pain. You may talk with friends or family, but hold back—worried about being too much or a burden. Underneath it all, your feelings are asking for space and understanding. Therapy can be a place to finally turn toward that inner experience with support, rather than continuing to carry it alone.
