About Donna (she/her/hers)
In Person and Online Therapy Sessions
YOU love seeing others happy but are starting to wonder if this comes at your own expense.
Through your routine of taking care of family, work, and friends, you tend to forget about YOURSELF. The habit of leaving yourself out is learned. A message that you unknowingly picked up along the way and struggle to put down. I get it, prioritizing others often feels like a requirement with no end in sight. And there seem to be very few alternatives. If any.
The stress of helping your loved ones with their problems is just as stressful as dealing with your own.
Through guidance & transparency, therapy will empower you to support yourself.
Reasons you need to honor time for yourself include:
- Caring for others indirectly exposes you to extra stressors
- Prioritizing caregiving over self-care may lead to a greater risk for health problems
- Acknowledging your experiences make you more open to receiving help
While it may be socially acceptable to ignore your needs, stuff your feelings, or pretend that you aren’t overwhelmed. This so-called strength is not worth it’s costs. It's not worth YOU.
You can learn how to:
- Develop coping skills so that you can manage depression and anxiety while continuing to live your life.
- Work through the impact of trauma so that you can embody you true sense of self
- Understand feelings of fear, abandonment, and rejection so that your relationships are filled with connection and communication.
