Great news: you can have an awesome life.
Fighting yourself – the thoughts, feelings, and unwanted but seemingly inevitable actions that surface in times of stress—is really hard. Frustrated, sad, and sometimes ashamed, you find yourself desperate to “get rid of” these thoughts and feelings, because it seems like that’s the only way you’ll get some peace, or be able to show up the way you want in your closest relationships, at work, or in other challenging parts of life.
You may have tried “stuffing” your feelings to get them under control, only to find out they inevitably crop up in more extreme, destructive ways; or as smoldering resentment that while you’re being “nice” to others, the cost to you is brutal inauthenticity to your own experience. Or maybe you try and guilt or shame yourself out of your feelings by telling yourself your problems aren’t so bad; your relationship is better than others you know; or that you should be grateful, not sad. And then you feel even worse, not better.
I work with people who want to have a life that is authentic to their own emotional experiences while also showing up to their relationships and their lives as the best versions of themselves, without shame, blame, or guilty gratitude; and with humor, lightness, and optimism.
