As a high achiever, you may find yourself bogged down by perfectionism - the unattainable - which leaves you disappointed, feeling down, and stuck. Perhaps you feel discouraged by the critical voices that impact your ability to perform at your greatest capacity. By developing self-compassion and confidence, you can more effectively tackle your responsibilities and take better care of yourself while working in a high stress profession.

Traumatic experiences greatly impact your understanding of safety, trust, intimacy, control, and self-esteem. As a result, you may struggle to maintain healthy relationships and find yourself in a cycle of shame and emotional disconnect. Through therapy, you can understand your triggers and ineffective patterns with compassion and learn to relate with yourself and others in a more balanced manner. You will also develop skills to reduce anxiety, manage emotions, and attain peace.

Cultivating healthy boundaries and communicating assertively is crucial to having peaceful relationships, self-respect, and achieving the goals you set for yourself. If you find yourself feeling resentful and exhausted due to taking on emotional responsibility for others and rarely getting your needs met, therapy can help you better balance your needs and those of others, so you can feel freer and happier.
