My clients struggle as you do. Despite being high-achieving and successful, having overbooked calendars with multiple responsibilities, and deeply caring for others, life is hard. 

When they first come to see me, they feel a building resentment in their relationships. My clients pour so much into their relationships with other people, but their most important relationships feel unequal - like no one knows how to care for them or give them what they need. 

They struggle to set and maintain healthy boundaries at work and home. They might have difficulty saying "no" when asked to do “just one more thing” because they fear that doing so will upset others. They say "yes" when they mean “no" to accommodate the needs of others at their own expense. 

They are overcommitted and emotionally drained, and find it challenging to relax and unwind, as they are always thinking about the next goal or task they need to accomplish leading to feelings of restlessness and anxiety. They may feel like they must "earn" rest. 

Their overwhelm and anxiety get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of partner, parent, friend, or helper that they want to be. They feel like they are failing at meeting others’ expectations. And their confidence in their ability to juggle it all is tanking. 

Before they came to see me, my clients thought no one could understand their complex role of therapists, helpers, and caregivers. And they were pretty certain that no one could understand the emotional toll of holding space for others or the nuances of self-care and boundary-setting in a professional context. I get why you don’t want to speak to your partner when you get home after work, but go straight to the dark cold room and sit in silence. 

Like my clients, you deserve to be recognized for who you ARE and not what you are able to DO for others. 

Prioritizing your own needs without worrying about others’ disappointment or disapproval is not out of your reach. 

If you want to say “YES” to what you love and “NO” to what drains you without double booking your calendar, I’d love to help you get there.
