THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN EAST NASHVILLE
What’s been going on?
Infertility
Your dream of becoming a parent has not happened and you want to point the finger to someone else, but it feels like the failure is with you. Every month you’re reminded of this failure and it’s easier to avoid than deal with it. It feels like everyone around you is having kids and moving forward, but you’re stuck behind the starting line. You would love to go to the baby shower or kid’s birthday, but you’re not in the celebrating mood. When you thought about how your life would look at this point, it was never supposed to feel this way - depleted, depressed, anxious or even resentful. No longer feeling a part of the group but instead feeling adrift and untethered to your closest friends. You want to celebrate the big wins with everyone else, but you’re struggling in plain sight and you don’t want to bring the room down.
Therapy can help move you from a place where things feel hopeless to hopeful. Together we can work through some of your roadblocks to get you feeling more confident and less resentful.
Motherhood Burnout
Are you doom scrolling and comparing your real life to the filtered lives of others? Does it seem like you’re missing out on what everyone is so happy about? Maybe your kids are stressing you out or you’re caring for your parents that weren't always kind or supportive of you. You’re running around trying to be the best mom, best spouse, best friend, best colleague, best daughter, but you constantly feel behind the ball. Maybe you’re tallying up the “good deeds” you’ve done for others waiting for reciprocity.
However, there seems to be no end in sight since your responsibilities won’t just go away overnight. We don’t have elves that take care of our daily tasks while we’re asleep. You’ve realized the need to wave the white flag and ready for a vacation from the pressure. It is possible to feel better without holding resentment, guilt and burnout. Together we can help you feel confident and wake up without feeling bummed to start the day. Joy and fulfillment are possible again.
