Online Therapy For Adults Struggling with Anxiety, OCD, Depression, and Trauma
VA | WV | KY | FL
let’s be honest:
If it feels like things have gotten out of control and you’re just trying to hang on, you could probably use a helping hand.
You work hard to take what life gives you and tell yourself “I got this”. Meanwhile more and more expectations can keep coming at you. They tell you how to behave, react, and live your life. It can become overwhelming making it feel as if you’ve lost yourself.
It’s ok to feel overwhelmed and in a tailspin, life isn’t easy
maybe you’re…
Struggling with feeling anxious or on edge
Do you call yourself a worrier or struggle with future tripping? Do these thoughts continue to invade your mind and make it hard to relax, sleep, or enjoy life? Or have the thoughts become so strong they seem to have taken over the driver’s seat, driving you down the road they want?
Feeling like you’ve lost yourself
Does it feel like you’re dragging through life and struggling to find motivation to do what you once loved? Do feelings of guilt, shame, or sadness seem to follow you around? Or does it feel like you’re wearing a mask and playing a role to get through life instead of being able to enjoy it?
Carrying past hurt and pain with you
Do memories of past stressful events still linger with you following you around, almost haunting you? Have they caused you to feel on edge, guilty, or irritable? Or does it seem like these memories continue to unpack themselves, taking on a life of their own, despite your efforts to close them away or avoid them?
