I have supported people when things are feeling too much and are becoming overwhelming. Things we have to do can build up and up and it can feel like they are forming a brick wall that we need to find a way over. Do you feel this way? Is it a struggle to cope? Do you have racing thoughts, or thoughts that are so loud that you can't focus on anything else? Do you have so much to do that you don't know where to start and you just can't relax? Are you in a safe and supportive relationship now, and feel like hurtful or traumatic experiences from your past are getting in the way of day-to-day life or you fear conflict?
If you feel things are difficult and becoming overwhelming I can support you to break it down and to focus on one thing at a time. We can try some exercises together to help you feel more relaxed and slow down, your thoughts. I can support you to build your self-esteem and believe in the decisions you make, leaving you feeling more confident.
Working with carers of people with Dementia, I've understood first hand what it's like to have a lot on your plate - where there's conflicting responsibilities and you no longer have the time to be you. This means I am able to help people who are feeling anxious and juggling a lot of responsibilities. Book a free 15 minute chat to see if we fit.
