Loneliness. Anxiety. Sadness.
Sure, your life is “just starting” and “you have your whole life in front of you.”
What other people may not understand is that even at your age, you have spent your life jumping through hoops, constantly overwhelmed, anxious, doing exactly what you’re “supposed to do.”
You find yourself wondering what will happen once you reach your goals (or you have no idea what you want to do!).
Paralyzed by indecision and doubt.
Looking outside of yourself for answers affects your ability to make decisions, to be creative, to solve problems, to assert your needs in relationships, and to set goals.
New experiences can seem “too scary” to try. Life starts looking bland. You are left feeling exposed to the criticism and judgment of others.
Who said other people have all the answers?!
Rather than living life vulnerable to what others think or judge is best, what if you begin to live life confident in what makes you “you”?
Could it really be worse than how you already feel? At least you wouldn’t have to try so hard all the time…
Going from what is expected to a life that is meaningful and rewarding to you takes some skill and practice. However, it’s nothing that can’t be learned!
Skills that help you adapt to every transition in life.
This is where therapy can help.
Imagine better managing your stress and navigating your emotions. Masterfully sitting with the emotions and thoughts without feeling like you are drowning in them.
When you learn to be with yourself, learn what you like/dislike, want, and need, the easier it becomes to make decisions.
The more confident you become, the more manageable life’s changes and difficulties can seem.
The less you need to compare yourself (Remember you are not Basic. That’s boring.), the more you begin to feel like a badass. More comfortable in your skin since it’s the only one you have.
Confidence is attractive!
Making new relationships doesn’t have to be so painful. No more games.
Healthy relationships can begin to develop since you know what you need and want for yourself and are open to others’ needs.
As making connections becomes easier, loneliness becomes a thing of the past. Who knew that being alone was also no longer intimidating?
When you are more aware, it’s easier to plan for the future and your sense of pleasure also heightens.
It’s not magic. Any and all of these changes are possible with greater insight, effective skills, and practice.
When the choice to change is yours, what will you do with it?
Remember that you will not be alone.
I can be that therapist for you.
