“How do you keep it all together?” they ask.
I used to, you think, but these days you aren’t really sure.
You live in fear that the house of cards will come crashing down.
You are used to succeeding: rising through the ranks, receiving awards, resilient through many different challenges. You make big decisions with big impacts before breakfast. Others seek your advice, maybe commend you for always seeming to have your shit together.
But you don’t. You feel like you are losing control. Life and job stress are accumulating. The stress you’ve endured over the years is knocking at the door, louder than ever. You can’t sleep, you often feel irritated and restless, you can’t relax, and you can’t really talk to anyone about it. Maybe coming home these days results in an argument or the silent treatment, making you want to stay at the gym or work late. Again. Resulting in another argument. Nothing you do seems to be enough.
Your life once defined by discipline, resilience, and compartmentalization is unraveling.
How can therapy help?
Stress and anxiety don’t mean you are losing control — but you do need a new strategy.
Therapy can help you identify what is working, what is no longer working, and what to do about it. Evidence-based practice are based on significant research and proven results. Sessions are tailored to your specific career, needs, skillset, and struggles.
You will learn:
Tools to restore focus and mindfully choose your battles
To identify cues that help you respond rather than react
More effective communication patterns
To process, and contain, any past intrusive traumas
Pathways for creating future templates of success
Individual therapy, exposure therapy, and intensives are available for this type of work.
Regain control, reclaim your strength.
You want a therapist who works as hard as you do. I understand high-stress careers, enjoy collaborating with high-achievers, and have experience setting lofty goals and refusing to quit. I practice what I preach, and I understand the fear of failure.
I have built my career around understanding and treating PTSD, Stress, and Anxiety. In my office, you do not need to worry about dark humor, sailor language, or shielding me from graphic trauma. Or the scariest of all - feelings.
You are in good hands. I can help you.
