Have you ever found yourself saying or doing something when frustrated, angry, or afraid, and afterward thought to yourself: “Why did I do/say that?! That’s not me!” For some of us, early life experiences left us sensitive to being triggered by situations or people, and we lash out at others or ourselves without knowing why. Afterward, we may feel ashamed or disappointed, helpless to understand what happened. I help adults to make sense of patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that are leftovers of a difficult or traumatic childhood and to feel hopeful, empowered, and in control of their emotions..

Dear Reader, You’re an overachiever, the one everyone else comes to for things, the one people would deem “mentally healthy” but all of this pressure is burying you quickly and you don’t see a way out. People have always said that life has a way of testing us and that feeling is more true than ever. Losing sleep, overeating, undereating, frequent irritability, and nonstop worry that something might go wrong are all signs that you are headed down a stressful path. Continuing this path will lead to ongoing distress and you will continue to miss what life has before you.
