Individual Therapy for Women: It’s Your Turn
You Already Know in Your Head What to Do
You give all you can to your family, your friends and your work. You already know in your head what to do, because you have read the books and listened to the podcasts. Other people bring you their hardest questions and you guide them well.
Guiding yourself is the one part that never gets a turn. Now it is time to give yourself some of that effort and energy.
Why Nothing Is Left at the End of Your Day
There is nothing left in your day once you have worked through just some of your ever-growing to-do list. By the end of it, you want to crash in bed.
It feels selfish to focus on yourself, and you don’t want to be that person. Your own week fills up with everybody else before it starts.
When Did You Last Say No Thank You?
When was the last time you said no thank you to an event you really did not want to go to? How about telling someone what was actually bothering you instead of “keeping the peace”?
Do you remember what you care about, what you want in your life, where you find peace or joy? Those questions deserve more than the minutes you have left over.
Find Your Path Back to Yourself
Together we will explore your wants, needs and hopes. Therapy is one place where you get to make it all about you, and it actually works best when it is only about you. For that time, nobody else needs anything from you.
In sessions we will use lots of different ways of thinking and strategies to help you communicate. We start with small doses of learning new skills, so you practice them in your real life and begin to see the benefits. Your comfort and confidence build from there. All of it happens online, anywhere in California.
Carve Out Room That Used to Go to Everyone Else
When you begin to set boundaries by living and communicating more authentically, it carves out the room in your week that used to be dedicated to everyone else. Then you take time for your own goals and hopes, while you stay supportive of the people around you.
A Stronger You Helps Everyone You Choose to Help
When you no longer take responsibility for how everyone else feels or how they behave, you begin to feel stronger. You set down the stress and the burden.
And when you are no longer exhausted from helping people who did not need the help, you are healthier and stronger for the people you choose to help. That is the balance the work is aiming at.
Why Your Hike Is Worth the Effort
Few of us get excited about the effort involved in going on a hike. Yet once you reach the clearing with the breathtaking view, it is easy to see that the effort was worth it. Therapy works much the same way.
Let’s find your path together and work out what effort gets you to that view. The oh moment at the clearing is what all of the walking was for.
One Call, and It Is Only about You
The free consultation is one conversation about you and nothing else. I will ask what has been filling your days, you will ask me whatever you need to ask, and we will both get a sense of whether this fits.
When you want that conversation, I am reachable at (626) 780-7158. Email also finds me, at strengththrubalance@gmail.com.
