You're an accomplished, hard worker, and people think you have it all together. But your internal voice reminds you that you feel inadequate, and you may struggle with sadness, anxiety, or anger. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma. You work hard to hide your deepest thoughts and feelings, and it's exhausting. You overanalyze your perceived flaws and past experiences. Perhaps you withdraw or lash out at loved ones. You try to push down negative feelings by staying busy and focusing on other things, but you don't feel so good inside when things are quiet. You feel "off". You're tired of living this way and ready for a change.

Are you struggling? Do you feel alone in your pain? Is life, in general, overwhelming? Are you tired of trying? Is there a relationship in which you deeply desire connection, yet no matter how much you try, it never seems good enough? Maybe you are beginning to think you are not enough. Whether the relationship is past or current, involves a parent, a partner, a child or it may be your relationship with yourself- it's just not working out for you. You want more. You want better. Of course you do! Your desire for connection and understanding is real and needed. Life is hard. We all get stuck. Are you ready for something different?
