You are tired of carrying around the weight of guilt and shame. You're tired of feeling like you're not good enough, not smart enough, not successful enough. You feel like you're not a good parent, partner, or friend. You push yourself so hard every day, but nothing feels like it's enough. You're your own worst critic. There's always that voice in your head judging you about something you "should" have said or done differently. You've tried shutting out that voice, but it's so loud and noisy at times. You're so tired of carrying this weight around and are wanting to make a change, but need some help in finding lasting relief.
As your therapist, I'll bring a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental demeanor into session to help you navigate around this negative voice to gain a sense of compassion and forgiveness for yourself and others. We'll work to reframe how you view yourself and the world to change the unhelpful, judgmental habits you've picked over the years.
It can be so heavy and overwhelming to carry around the weight of guilt, shame, and 'not-enough-ness.' I'll hold space for you to process through these thoughts/feelings while we explore the different parts of you with a sense of compassion and forgiveness. I'd love to help you put this weight down and find a sense of peace.
