It's the most socially appropriate time in modern history to be a bit of a mess, but being intelligent can actually make it harder to adapt to new things outside your frames of reference. Being empathetic can cause you to feel like you're constantly letting others & yourself down. Being unique or outside norms can leave you feeling lonely & questioning yourself. If you tend to hold & hide everything inside, or if you're someone who can't help but dump everything out all over the place, you may be experiencing miscommunication & judgment from others on top of everything.
It's normal to want to hide, ignore, or pick a fight with reality. There's nothing more human than falling into old habits amid stress & change. But these moments also create unusual windows of opportunity to go in entirely new directions: to reinvent the wheel, to finally learn to love the wheel you already have, or to trade in your wheels for wings.
I help easily misunderstood people get out of their own way, wield their unique strengths, & thrive. My practice is 100% online, forever. Please visit my website for more information & scheduling.
