You smile and say "I'm fine". People believe you because it looks like you have your life mostly together. You even have a hard time acknowledging your problems. You know deep down you're not fine, though. You hate to have people worry about you. You know people care, but it's hard to open up to people and trust that they'll be there for you. You shoulder a lot on your own. Guilt? Yep. People have told you you're great at blaming yourself. You're also great at over-thinking. Questioning and second-guessing yourself is common, and you wonder if there's anyway to really slow down and find a different path forward.
You'd love nothing more than to stop this cycle. You'd give anything to be able to trust yourself, others, and find effective ways of dealing with life that don't push people further away. I help people break free from the monotony of over-thinking and the oppression of feeling stuck, confused, and questioning their worth.
I help people to grow from their struggles and to find their path forward. Offering online therapy, getting the help you need is easy and convenient. Clients appreciate my honest, authentic, and direct style of therapy. Contact me today for a free, no obligation, consultation. www.cristensmithwellness.com
