Ongoing stress, overwhelming feelings and anxious thoughts can leave us mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. When these feelings go unresolved they take control of our lives and prohibit us from living to the fullest. Life can leave us with wounds from trauma, relationship patterns and unhealthy cycles we naturally fall back into. These patterns often lead to us feeling "stuck" and unsure of how to move forward.

Throughout our lifespan, we will be faced with transitions. Children experiences changes within the family as well as school, friends, and daily routine. Then there’s puberty, which brings about a whole new set of changes in a teenager. Early adulthood is full of change, as well as a search for meaning and purpose. Marriage, divorce, birth of children, death of parents, middle age, retirement, and on and on! Sometimes we can move through these transitions smoothly; however, other times it doesn’t go quite as well.

You just want to feel better. You want to know what is going on. You are tired of telling yourself you should feel better when you know deep in your gut something is just not right.

You know in your head you are supported, but still feel inside of yourself like you are all alone. You are overwhelmed and just fake it, but you are no longer just making it. You need help, but are wondering if you are going to get the kind of help you specifically need.

Your life has started to spiral out of control since experiencing trauma. It’s been difficult to cope with uneasy thoughts & emotions. You’ve been overwhelmed trying to deal with these things on your own because you still haven’t fully processed what happened to you. You haven’t been able to openly communicate with your friends and loved ones. Functioning in your daily life has been challenging, to say the least. You wish you could just go back to your life as it was before the events of your trauma, but you don’t know how. You’ve only managed to find unhealthy coping habits. What you went through has turned your world upside down.

Are you the “strong” one? Are you the one everyone goes to when they need someone to talk to? Are you the one selflessly passing out advice while you silently deal with your own worries? It can be so exhausting helping everyone else with their problems while pushing your own to the side. This is all too common! It’s nice to feel needed, but how would it feel if you finally got to talk to someone? What if you had a person who was there JUST to listen to YOU. How amazing would that feel? Imagine being able to talk to someone about your own life and work things out without the disruptions of work, friends, kids, or partners.
