Stress, Anxiety & Perfectionism
Do you feel like you’re physically and emotionally exhausted from everything you have to get done and still feel like you’re never doing enough? Stress, anxiety, and perfectionism can feel like they are taking over your life, at the expense of your health, wellbeing, and relationships. Therapy can help you:
- Learn to implement practical tools, skills, and resources for managing stress
- Befriend your mind and nervous system to find more calm, balance, and presence in your life
- Heal the deep root of your suffering so that you treat more than just the symptoms
Trauma Healing
Trauma is the response to a deeply disturbing or distressing event(s) that overrides our normal capacity to cope. It has significant impacts on our functioning including our sense of safety, sense of self, and sense of the world. There is often an experience of loss of power and control, and threat to our safety and sense of self or of someone we care about. The impact of trauma is held in our brains and bodies, as our system attempts to keep us safe. Therapy can help you:
- Reclaim and reconnect to your sense of power and choice
- Reorient to the present instead of reliving the past
- Shed intrusive thoughts, memories, and sensations
- Feel supported and know you’re not alone
Care for the Givers
No human is capable of only giving and never receiving. Yet, you may have been socialized to believe that you should put everyone’s needs before your own, leaving you feeling depleted and burned out. Your job or mission may require a lot from you, and you may struggle to process the suffering you witness or to feel like it is okay to rest and take care of your own needs. Therapy can help you:
- Shift into more reciprocal and supportive relationships
- Develop a clear differentiation between self and others
- Increase your sense of resilience and gain skills for managing vicarious trauma
- Set empowered boundaries so you can continue making a difference in the world while feeling resourced and whole.
