Lori Lynn McGruder
Counselor, EdS, NCC, LMHC, CTMH
If you are like most in the helping professions, including first responders, you are feeling burned out from taking care of everyone but you. Stress levels are high. You are feeling sadness at all of the loss suffered during this pandemic. You may be drinking too much, neglecting your relationships and your work performance is suffering. Have others started to notice? Are you worried they will? What if you cannot work? What will you do with all of those feelings and all of that negative energy if you cannot bury them in work? Are you afraid you cannot go on? Are you laying awake reliving "failures?" Just how tired are you?
I can help you by giving you a safe place to talk about your thoughts, including the fears that just cannot be discussed in the workplace. EMDR may be a good option for you by allowing those negative beliefs about yourself to finally heal. Counseling with me will improve your mood, self-esteem, relationships, and ability to lead your most successful life.
I know how difficult it is to take care of yourself when there are so many people in need of your services. I get it. I am a helping professional, too. We have to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first when the plane is going down. Please visit my website today or give me a call to schedule a free consultation. Teletherapy for your convenience and safety.
