I would bet something has tipped the balance for you from managing your pain, coping with your stresses to "I can’t do this alone.” It’s a scary place to be in, and it says a lot about your character and courage that you’re willing to reach out. My clients have reached that point in a number of issues. Religious trauma and anxiety are two of the biggies. But also depression, LGBTQ issues, and dissociation factor big among my clients too.
I’m in my late 40s, and I’ve scrolled through lists of therapists thinking, “there’s no way I’m going to see a therapist younger than me.” No shade on younger therapists, but I want you to know that I have a lot of lived experience that I bring to the table, and a whole lot of water under the bridge that gives me tons of empathy for the struggles you bring.
If we work together, developing self-compassion, ways to soothe your nervous system, and ways to re-access your capacity to be there for yourself are probably going to figure heavily into our work. I can’t wait to meet you! P.S. Ask me about EFT Tapping for emotional eating and a healthier relationship with food.
