If you’re like many of my clients, you may feel exhausted from battling your thoughts and anxiety all day long. You might find yourself stuck in obsessive loops, chasing a sense of certainty and control. Maybe you replay conversations, double-check texts, or search endlessly for answers online. And even when you get temporary relief, it never lasts, another fear eventually surfaces, and the cycle begins again. For others, the weight of trauma or grief makes everything feel heavier: memories that won’t settle, emotions that surge unexpectedly, or a sense of being overwhelmed by what you’ve been through or lost.
