For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

You have goals, but fear that you won’t live up to your full potential. Trying new things seems to come with too much risk of failure and rejection. You care about others, but struggle to find the words to set boundaries and protect time for yourself. You get anxious with confrontation, and so you become passive, and contain your emotions, which leads to feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration and resentment. You want to be understood, but fear that speaking your mind may result in rejection, criticism or being misunderstood. You want better relationships, but aren’t sure where to start. You are ready to do things differently.
