Are you a little different? Queer or Trans? ADHDer? Autistic spouse? Survivor of Religious Trauma? Maybe you have a specific set of unique personalities in your family. Maybe you have a bunch of labels but what you really want to talk about is being lonely. Maybe you've never found someone who really acknowledged that thinking your way through your problems doesn't work. Your problems don't fit in a neat little category, and you don't have a nice little summary of who you are, where you came from, and what is ailing you. Guess what? That's exactly how therapy starts: with the best pieces of you all tangled up with fear and shame.
The important thing is, you don't have to stay there in the tangle. It's possible to get to the space where you can: express your needs to your partner or parent and be heard; feel deeply that your trauma was not your fault; trust your intuition; and show self compassion even though the systems you live in work actively against it. There is hope.
I am a huge attachment theory nerd, and I believe that even in your worst moments, you are doing the best you can to find safety in the world. I also have a lot of experience at both work and home with neurodiversity, perfectionism, and religious trauma. If you've read this far, it means that something has clicked, so reach out and schedule an inquiry today.
