As a therapist, I’m here to remind you that you have the capacity to find your way back to yourself. You might be reading this because you’re missing the playful, creative parts of yourself in your day to day life and relationships - like you’re only sharing the parts of yourself that make people feel comfortable, but you no longer feel authentic. We stay silent in meetings, constantly judge ourselves, and go with the flow even when it means betraying our own needs. This all takes up energy and, worse, leaves us feeling small and like we’re always hiding something.
