“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn
Stress and anxiety feel like you're in a sinking ship.
You're the "go to" person (at home, work, with your friends, extended family) and seen as the one who's expected to have all the answers, and have it all together. Everyone expects you to excel, be exceptional, knowledgeable, and patient.
Nonstop to do lists, deadlines, interruptions, and general stress-you've always been able to handle. But now everything feels overwhelming. You're just trying to stay afloat. You’re thinking a lot about whether you can handle it all.
You're trying to keep it all together. The stress of it all is making it near impossible to balance everything in your life.
You feel like an imposter because no one knows you have so much stress.
Being someone who holds it all together has always been you but lately, you’ve started thinking about the most difficult parts of your life and you’ve had to handle some tough experiences and emergencies. It's starting to feel like you have no control in certain situations.
The anxiety seems like it just crept up on you. Sleep consists of waking up, tossing and turning, and struggling to get back to sleep. You feel alone in this and have a lot less energy. It seems like no in your life seems to understand. You don’t even understand how this has all crept up on you.
It's feeling like you’re not good enough in anything. You just don’t understand why you can’t seem to handle the stress and anxiety right now. All you know is you’re dreading going to work or dealing with your children right now.
You may notice perfectionism runs rampant with the anxiety or people pleasing tendencies are spiraling out of control.
You never thought you'd have this much anxiety and stress.
You 've always had a way with people, children, animals. You’ve always been able to work under pressure. You excelled in school, growing up, motherhood, life in general. You’ve always been high achieving. But the pressure is too much now. You’re doing too much. Everything feels like a big mistake and you feel like a punching bag, doing the work of 2-3 people.
How Counseling for Stress and Anxiety Can Help
You’ve tried therapy before but it didn't address the root cause. This time will be different. We’ll address what’s happening now and get to the heart of what’s driving the stress and anxiety.
You want action not just a pep talk.
Anxiety and stress are not 100% negative. It's what's pushed you to excel, be ambitious, and successful. It's just trapped you in a vicious feedback loop that you're ready to unshackle yourself from.
Therapy can help you move forward and face any push back and uphill battles without feeling defeated.
It can help you take back your control, reclaim your inner sense of calm, and rein in the overwhelming stress and anxiety.
You don't have to become jaded.
We'll work together to address what you’ve been going through so you can perform better at work, be there for your loved ones, and most importantly, learn to manage and quiet the anxiety, and take better care of...you.
Anxiety therapy can help you break free from the never-ending loop of constant stress and anxiety.
With anxiety therapy imagine a life where you can:
Detach yourself from worrying thoughts.
Develop more compassion towards yourself in the process of working towards determining what’s at the root of this.
Learn to nurture inner peace and healing for lasting change.
Reclaim your life back from anxiety, fear, and stress.
