The alarm rings and your heart immediately starts racing. Next comes that familiar sinking feeling.  

You can’t take it any longer. Life shouldn’t be this hard.  Why does your heart feel so heavy all the time?  Moving feels like you are walking in cement.  After pushing the snooze alarm countless times you force yourself out of bed so that you can go to work.  Somebody has to pay the bills. As soon as your day is over you hop right back into the safe haven of your bed. Not exactly the life you planned. 

You have lost all of your motivation, your energy, your desire to see friends.  You wonder if your friends even care that you have not contacted them in months.  You cannot figure out how you slipped into this pit and how you are supposed to get out.  It is too hard to ask for help.

You’re stuck, and life is passing you by.

There’s no “bootstrapping” your way out of this. Your fingernails are raw from trying to claw your way out of this hole.

Every criticism and rejection sends you plummeting into a spiral of self-loathing. Then you feel ashamed for being so sensitive.

It’s a vicious cycle.  You have fallen into this hole too many times.

THERAPY CAN THROW YOU A LIFELINE

Look up from the bottom of the pit and grab a hand. 

You don’t have to figure it out all by yourself.  In fact, it is impossible to figure yourself out because you cannot really see yourself accurately.  You need a little distance and another person’s perspective.  An objective perspective.

I will ask you targeted questions that will shed light on what is causing you to feel like hiding.  Trust me, it is very difficult to understand yourself when you are stuck in your own head.  Your internal dialog is on “repeat” and it is driving you crazy.  Talking with me, a trained psychologist, works because I will listen carefully for patterns in the way you think and behave interpersonally.  Once we know what is going on, be it self-sabotage, feeling things too deeply, or an inner conflict you keep trying to push down – we can fix it.  You won’t have to hide under the covers any more.  

And you don’t need someone to coddle you as you take steps toward healing.

I can offer you support without candy-coating the truth

I will stand beside you, with compassion and expertise, as we look at the unexamined corners of your life.

Therapy with me will help you understand what is wrong.  If you don’t know what is wrong, how do you fix it?  

Learn to move your anxiety and depression out of the way so that you can feel happy again.  I will teach you how to undo some of the negative patterns you keep repeating so you feel more control over your life.  Once you get your mojo back you can move toward the people you love instead of pushing them away.  You deserve to feel all of your emotions, not just the sad and scary ones.  Just text me and take control of your life. It is time. I will send you a life line through the phone.  Start feeling better right away with Gritty Therapy.  I know exactly how to help.
