Therapy for People Pleasing & Caregiver Burnout
Many individuals find themselves trapped in the cycle of people pleasing, constantly striving to meet others’ expectations while neglecting their own mental health and well-being. This pattern often originates in childhood, where your sense of worth or safety may have been tied to making others happy. As a result, you may feel disconnected from your true self, overwhelmed by the demands of those around you, and burdened with guilt when prioritizing your own needs. You might feel as though no one truly knows you because you’re always “performing” to meet others’ expectations. This can leave relationships feeling one-sided and draining, leading to caregiver burnout and emotional exhaustion.
Therapy for people pleasing provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the root causes of these behaviors and how they impact your life today. Together, we will work on shifting the deep-seated beliefs driving your people-pleasing tendencies, helping you reconnect with your authentic self and desires. In the process, you’ll learn to set healthy boundaries without guilt, reclaim your energy, and build more balanced, fulfilling relationships.
Therapy for people pleasing can help you with:
- Healthy Boundaries: Learn to say no and set limits without feeling guilty.
- Authentic Relationships: Build mutually fulfilling and balanced connections.
- Increased Self-Worth: Reconnect with your true self and recognize your inherent value.
- Feel Connected & Authentic: Experience your emotions safely and live more authentically.
- Resilience and Confidence: Develop the strength to face discomfort and prioritize your own needs.
Therapy for Healing from Sexual Trauma
Surviving childhood sexual abuse or sexual trauma as an adult can deeply affect your relationships, sense of self, and overall well-being. The trauma you’ve experienced may leave you feeling hypervigilant, disconnected from your emotions, and struggling to trust others. These are your brain and body’s protective responses, trying to keep you safe, even long after the trauma has passed.
Common effects of sexual trauma include hypervigilance, emotional numbness, avoidance, difficulty concentrating, flashbacks, panic attacks, and intense feelings of shame and guilt. These symptoms can make it difficult to form healthy relationships, assert your needs, and feel secure in your own body.
Therapy for sexual trauma can provide a safe and supportive environment to help you work through these challenges. Together, we can help you:
- Emotional Safety: Reconnect with your emotions in a way that feels safe and manageable.
- Trust and Connection: Learn to build and maintain healthy, trusting relationships.
- Empowerment: Reclaim your sense of agency and confidently assert your needs.
- Relief from Symptoms: Reduce anxiety, flashbacks, and other trauma-related symptoms.
- Self-Compassion: Cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself, freeing yourself from shame and guilt.
