The world sees your strength. You just feel exhausted.
You’ve done the work, read the books, and "kept it together"— so why does it still feel so heavy? It’s time to stop managing your symptoms and start actually feeling better.
Nice to meet you, I’m here and I’ve got you.
You don’t need a therapist who nods a lot.
You need one who gets it.
You’ve tried explaining it. You’ve watched people’s eyes glaze over. You’ve started sentences and stopped them because what’s the point — no one really gets what you’re carrying. You don’t need someone to reflect your feelings back at you in a soft voice. You need someone who can actually handle what you’ve been through and still see the person underneath it.
That’s what I do.
