Stress and Overwhelm
You're Trying to Hold it All Together..
You're spinning a thousand plates, and everyone is counting on you not to drop a single one.
So you keep going. You say “I'm fine.”
You tell yourself this is just how life is.
But under the surface, you're drowning.
You lie awake at night, thoughts racing.
You can't relax, because the second you try, your mind reminds you of everything that still hasn't been done.
Your body is tense, your patience is thin, and there's no room, anywhere, for your needs.
And the worst part? You don't even know how to stop.
Because if you let go, everything might fall apart.
Your Nervous System is Stuck in Survival Mode
When you're overwhelmed for too long, your body and brain forget how to shift out of hyperdrive.
You may feel:
-
Constant tension or irritability
-
Racing thoughts that never resolve
-
Guilt for not doing more, even when you're maxed out
-
Emotional numbness or crying out of nowhere
-
A deep sense that you're failing, even though you're doing everything
This isn't weakness.
It's the cost of carrying too much, for too long, with too little support.
The Work We Do
In therapy, we help you find what you've lost in the chaos:
Your breath.
Your boundaries.
Your Self.
Together, we:
-
Work with your nervous system, not against it
-
Identify the parts of you that over function, fix, or hustle for safety
-
Build new patterns that include rest, expression, and connection
-
Reclaim your right to pause, say no, and actually feel supported
