I have an extensive background in the military, veteran, and first responders population, but I understand that
trauma
, anxiety, and depression affects all populations.
Many times we tell ourselves that we are not enough, or we are unworthy unless we are placing others first. This can lead to negative thoughts, low mood, insomnia, excessive worry and planning, or feeling on edge as you wait for the next difficulty to arise. In addition, it may feel like a never-ending battle of being overwhelmed and underappreciated in work and personal life. Now is the time to understand that you are worthy, it is okay to express your needs, and placing yourself first with therapy is a healthy path forward.
