As far as most people know, you've got everything going for you.  Loved ones can count on you. You're intuitive, can pick up on the needs of others, and the one who can be "all things to all people." Maybe you're the teacher, nurse, therapist, college student, or mother that seems to have it all together.  Inside though, you're starting to wonder if you even know who you are.  You might even look at your life and find yourself asking "Is this all there is?' Or just feeling a varying combination of exhausted/anxious/burned out/empty/bored. Something feels missing or off, and it's unsettling.

When you’re walking through the woods and you cross paths with a bear, you expect a rush of adrenaline to warn your brain of the danger. You expect your body to fight back, to run away, or sometimes you freeze right in your tracks. This is your body’s natural chemical response to danger. But what happens when the “bear” is a loved one? What happens when you see the “bear” at the grocery store? What happens when a smell or a sound takes you back to a memory that feels like it’s happening right now? Maybe you know what triggers this response in you. Maybe you have had so many encounters with “bears” in your life that you feel numb.
