If any of the following experiences resonate with you, I invite you to click on About me to see if I may be a fit for you...
Making sense of things and doing your best are important to you. Your need to understand the nature of events and feel confident and in the decisions you make is the core of what you do. Yet, at times you second guess your choices and judge the decisions you make. You replay interactions with others and overthink what you could have said and develop assumptions of what others think of you or what may happen in the future despite the lack of evidence to support this. At times your deep thinking has lead to great insight and has challenged you to do different, while other times, the thinking only leads to Despite your efforts to engage in positive thinking and distractions to quell the overthinking, your mind stays active. By exploring your attachment to the thinking mind, we can better understand its purpose and ways to co exist with it, rather than stopping the thinking that can bring you a different way of being with your thoughts without overidentifying with them.
You value a life with meaning and purpose, where your experiences, career and relationships fulfill you. Though for the past while, or perhaps more recently, little seems to fulfill you and you have felt disconnected to what once had meaning for you. Despite your best intentions to do and feel better, the effort that is required seems all too much. You may have wondered, "What is wrong with me", or "It shouldn't be this hard". And it is! Your mind says "Get on with it already" whole your body says, "Nope not having it". You may seek out things to de-whelm you that often reinforces the judgement and disappointment you experience and keeps you stuck. Learning to tune into your internal experiences as catalysts for changes can create significant shifts in your experiences. If you are curious about what this means and wish to consider a different approach to manage the overwhelm and "stuckness" you feel, I can help.
You value relationships, being of service and helping others. You have been described as the rock, the wise one; the one family, friends and co-workers rely on to get stuff done. Yet you find yourself feeling depleted, unappreciated and resentful at times. You struggle to say no, for fear of offending or letting others down and want to give yourself the option to Not help at times. "What would I say without sounding rude" and the uncertainty only leads to repeating the cycle. Perhaps helping others was a familial value or perhaps it has given you a sense of purpose. Yet, if you are experiencing burnout, fatigue and overwhelm, then your body is signalling to you that something has to shift. Choosing what works for you is an unselfish practice in recognizing your worth and value and achieved through self-awareness and boundary setting. Setting boundaries is a vital aspect of self-care.
You have noticed a pattern in your relationships- with others, work and your emotions and begun to question "why". "Why does this always happen in my relationships" ? ,"Why do I continue to pick the same type of partners and friends that don't treat me well"? "Why do I continue to pick jobs that don't challenge me or overwork myself in a way that is unhealthy"? "Why do I react with such intensity or not at all at times"? You have tried to reframe your narratives, though nothing changes. And you feel done with feeling this way!!!. Learning to shift from the thinking mind to cultivating somatic awareness (your physical felt experiences) can provide tremendous insight and different experiences to move through these areas in your life. You will better understand your triggers and the underlying unmet needs of your patterns- a whole new way of being and knowing unfolds.
