Overthinking is your go-to. It's hard feeling alone and not feeling loved, valued, or appreciated. ----- "I'm not good enough" rings through your head far too often. "Why can't I shake these feelings that my partner doesn't love me and will leave. People in my life always find a reason to leave." "I work just as hard as my coworkers. So why are they getting ahead, and I'm still stuck where I am?" "I'm not the parent I ought to be for my children. They deserve better." ---- These thoughts follow you to bed, and you end up sitting in bed harassing yourself about all you're flaws instead of getting the rest you need. **** The tricks you've tried aren't cutting it. Shopping on Amazon can be fun and cathartic. But regardless of what you buy, it doesn't change how you feel about yourself. You're still miserable. Eating healthier, getting more exercise, and doing yoga helped for a little while. But even the exercise or meditation doesn't alleviate the tension. You still can't shut off the negative thoughts running rampant. Trying to change the same problem without looking at the actual cause of the problem is bound to frustrate you! ***** Picture this… you have a bag of bricks strapped to your back, a rambunctious monkey sitting on your head, you're tasked with carrying the Olympic torch, and you're fitted in clunky space boots. Now, you need to climb Mount Everest! That's what life feels like when you scurry around carrying guilt, shame, low self-esteem, and dissatisfaction with your life. Let's remove the weight. Banish the monkey from your head, pass the torch, and get you some shoes that you feel confident walking in. ***** Therapy is a place where you can learn more about yourself by exploring past challenges, focusing on your strengths, healing old wounds, and changing behaviors to live the life you are worthy of. ***** Hi, I'm Rachel. We all have a little voice in our heads that likes to tell us stories about who we are – whether it's "I'm not good enough," "Maybe they don't like me," "I can't succeed," or "I'm not lovable." Our first step will be to recognize these little monstrous thoughts, then break them down and change your internal narrative. You'll learn how to build confidence and know that the life you want isn't only possible but can be so much more than you hoped. I'm here to bring light to those thoughts and help you understand and truly BELIEVE that all those negative thoughts are wrong! You don't have to turn to temporary "fixes" or reliefs to be happy. Together, we'll help you achieve lasting change. ------- Stop "should-ing" on yourself… …and let's start living your best life! ------- Can you recall a time in your life when your felt invalidated and misunderstood? Well, no more! Start taking the first steps to trust yourself, and with my support, let's reshape the way you view your world. ———————————————————————-—————— Please book an appointment for a free 15-minute consultation to start living your truly liberated, self-loving life.
