Anxiety

There you go – again.

The constant noise and worry in your head about your health, how you’ll complete everything you need to do, or overthinking conversations you had months ago with family or friends.

Anytime you sit quietly alone, you find yourself making up a story about how your pending conversation with your daughter, partner, or friend is going to go – and you already know it’s not going to go well.

It never does. So, you might as well not even do it. And yet, you’re obsessing.

It’s REAL. It’s not all in your head.

It’s keeping you awake all night, robbing you of crucial sleep and rest. The next morning, you wake with persistent brain fog and can’t focus clearly on anything all day long.

You can’t stop yourself from running every failed conversation in an infinite loop of woulda – coulda – shoulda. You live in the oppressive shadow of self-doubt and disappointment.

Not Waving but Drowning

You don’t get out anymore – not because of the pandemic – but what’s the point? You’ll only make a fool of yourself in front of others, and you can’t handle more of their judgment.

Nothing you’ve tried seems to do any good – the best you’ve managed so far is struggling to tread the undertow of isolation, depression, and confusion.

It’s exhausting – unsustainable –, and deep down, you know it.

But there IS actually something constructive you can do.

Therapy. It’s always been there. Perhaps you’ve discarded it as an option in the past, but lately, you’ve heard it’s helped a couple of your friends – and even your aunt is seeing someone.

Your best friend keeps telling you that asking for help is a strength – not a weakness. Maybe she’s right.

You have to admit – the expectations you’ve set for yourself never seem to work out, and something’s gotta give.

It’s time to learn some new strokes.

Coming in for therapy will be a big change for you, but know this: you’re as ready as you’re ever going to be.

And the good news is that you don’t have to rescue yourself. You don’t have to get through this alone.

I’m here to throw you a lifeline and give you the support you need. To provide the absolutely judgment-free safe space, you need to work through the chaos and grow strong.

As we work together, you’ll develop the confidence you need to throw off the patterns that no longer serve you and embrace new coping skills.

It’s time to take the plunge.

Learning to swim seems scary at first. People drown in the shallows – you don’t even want to think about the deep.

But there’s so much out there to be explored. It’s where everybody has the most fun.
