The people I help in therapy are used to handling whatever life throws at them. They are high achieving and successful at school and work. Other people have high expectations of them that they can usually meet. But, at some point, they begin to feel that perfectionism and the pace of life has worn them out. Something has changed and the ways they’ve coped in the past aren’t as effective as before.
If you're thinking about starting therapy, you may be feeling the same way.
You’re meeting everyone’s expectations of you and getting it all done. But you’re exhausted by the fear that your best will never be enough.
You doubt that what you’re doing is good enough, even when other people praise your efforts. You have high standards that continue to rise with each success and accomplishment.
You have a hard time relaxing and feel guilty when you do.
Along the way, trying to be the best student, best friend, best child, and best worker has become overwhelming. Meeting all those expectations is unmanageable, and you may even feel burned out.
I create a space for you to find:
That you can be enough regardless of your accomplishments
Your own perspective of success and achievement that leads to personal freedom
If you want to feel confident and capable without the pressure of perfection, I would love to help you get there.
