I'm trying to get it all done "perfectly", my career, parenting, my relationship but I'm not coming close to that in any of them!. The holidays, beginning of school, even summer break is completely overwhelming. Pinterest, homemade costumes, the baked goods that look like something from the cooking channel, and the kids getting sick when there is mandatory work meeting makes me feel like I must keep treading water.
The phrases "I should have " or "I'm drowning" are a record playing over and over in your head. You ignore your voice, because if you stop you may fall short or mess up on one of your many, many life roles. Everything important to you in your life will continue to still get done. I hear that you don't listen to your inner voice.

I'm a psychotherapist, but you might also call me an advocate of YOU, a supporter of play, and a permission granted to stop juggling your life! I help people begin to transition to where they want to go in life but struggle to because they feel locked in the pattern of their current life. Things such as anxiety, perfectionism, and having unhealthy boundaries have caused them to place their life on a pause button.
The canvas is your life. YOU create it. Self-creation is power. It is your voice, your vision, your world. Who do you allow on your canvas? Are you picking them, or are they picking you? Did you find your job, or did it pick you? Do you listen to your voice or is drowned out with feelings of fear, uncertainly, or a loyalty to a past canvas?
Survivors of trauma often express feeling there are so many layers of pain and emotions to get through before feeling relief. EMDR can help. Another way to think of EMDR is as a trauma cleansing. Back in 2001 during a conversation with one of my mentors trauma was defined to me in the simplest of terms: "Anything that happened to you that you did not expect to happen is a trauma."
Having never been asked such a question before, I paused and offered, I see it like this. Someone offers you a job, an opportunity. The "job description " will require you to work 24/7, 365- days a year. They are willing to have the same job description. When both parties agree and continually show-up for the terms of the job description there can be an amazing benefits package.
My hope is that our time together in the office is a safe, welcoming, warm space to create the life you want. You have permission to run away from your overwhelming, stressful, and demanding life temporarily. Leave it at the door. Therapy often starts with the gut feeling (or loud voice inside) nudging that things need to change.

If you can believe on the very first visit as this counselors getting to know us. I’m a lil excited trying to fill in the marriage counselor about what going so she can hear both sides of the situation so she can have the proper information to HELP and SAVE our marriage.
