You’re feeling like the weight of your situation is taking over your life and you just want to hide away until it all disappears. It seems like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. You are disconnected from people; you are burned out or feeling slumped at work and taking care of basic daily things is just too much. What you want is to get to a place where you can feel alive and head towards your goals, to live a full life. My approach is to encourage you towards your own meaning, purpose, and creative expression of your core self so that you can build self-acceptance and strengths to feel confident in facing the world the way you want to. We will get there by working with self-compassion, insight building, humor, and skill-building.
