Has the bottom dropped out in your life?
Life is full of ups and downs, but sometimes it can feel like the bottom has dropped out. Feeling lost and alone might be the result of a bad experience or the natural by-product of accumulative stress and strain.
Perfectionism, overwhelm, lack of motivation, or loneliness can be so uncomfortable that distractions and numbing-out seem the only option.
From binge-watching Netflix to being glued to your phone.
From grabbing another bag of chips or another glass of wine to forgetting there is a reason to exercise.
Do you wake up in the morning feeling derailed and unsure of how to get on a healthy path?
It’s understandable to want to avoid pain.
Our brains are designed that way. But do you notice that the avoidance is making everything worse? That your life is feeling smaller and your confidence shaky?
It’s important to figure out what part of your present is being influenced by unresolved issues from your past.
There may be resentments, losses, feelings of neglect, or abuse that you didn’t know how to deal with at the time that are lurking in your unconscious and driving destructive habits and patterns.
Emotional distress can get “stuck” in your nervous system, and limiting self-beliefs can live outside of awareness. These blind spots can wreak havoc and lead to emotional and behavioral reactivity.
Do you feel the pain and frustration of feeling out of control and stalled in your life?
Understanding the why and the how will bring the change you want.
Talk therapy that includes mind/body awareness will bring you both insight and show you how to get unstuck.
In the last 30 years, huge advances in understanding how the body holds emotional trauma have led to interventions that allow people who have felt stuck to break free.
This involves connecting with your body and being fully in sync with your feelings in a way that releases old emotional pain. You really can change the way you see yourself and the world.
I offer a non-judgmental and accepting place to talk about the difficult stuff, to make sense out of your experiences, to reconnect to your values and get clear on what has been holding you back.
Confronting old wounds, disappointments, and emotional discomfort is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
It’s time to get some relief.
