Sentara Health Plans Therapists in Oakton, VA
Are you experiencing lies, abuse, and disrespect in your home or family or even at work? The early promises of life might now seem illusory, and you feel trapped under a mountain of shame, regret, anger, self-recrimination, and confusion. You're paralyzed by not knowing what to do, or perhaps, how to do it. You imagine your desired freedom or empowerment will negatively affect those you love. It's as if you are a fading shadow of who you once thought yourself to be and fear that someday, your shadow will be blotted out entirely. Your children, relatives, friends, neighbors, and co-workers have no idea of your desperation.
