Top 4 Signs You Should Consider Therapy 🛋️✨

1️⃣ You're Feeling Stuck 🚧
Whether it's in your relationships, career, or personal growth, you feel like you're running in circles. Therapy can help you break through barriers and find clarity.

2️⃣ Overwhelmed by Stress 🌪️
Life's challenges are piling up, and you're constantly on edge or exhausted. Talking to someone can help you navigate and lighten the load.

3️⃣ Your Emotions Feel Out of Control 🌊
Whether it's frequent anger, sadness, or anxiety, intense emotions might be signaling it’s time to process what’s underneath.

4️⃣ You Want to Improve Yourself 🌟
Therapy isn’t just for “problems”—it’s also for self-growth. You deserve to invest in your mental and emotional well-being.

💯You are not alone and we are here to help!

Sometimes anxiety shows up from places you wouldn’t expect 👀💭

⚡️ Skipping meals
Not eating enough can throw your body off and anxiety often follows. Fuel matters 🥗🍎

⚡️ Dropping the things you enjoy
Rest, hobbies, and time with people you love are not extras. They help keep you grounded 🎨🧘‍♀️💙

⚡️ Big changes, even the good ones
New jobs, moves, relationships, or milestones can still feel overwhelming. That’s normal 🏡💼✨

⚡️ Constantly checking your body
Watching every sensation can actually make anxiety louder. Gently shifting your focus outward can help 🔄🌿

You’re not broken and you’re not alone 💙
Support is here when you’re ready to reach out.

Childhood experiences can have a lasting impact on mental health and can contribute to unhealed wounds that can manifest in adulthood. 😣

Some indicators of unhealed childhood wounds include:
⚡️ difficulty forming healthy relationships
⚡️ low self-esteem
⚡️ chronic feelings of guilt or shame
⚡️ difficulty managing emotions
⚡️ a tendency to self-sabotage

It's also common for individuals with unhealed childhood wounds to struggle with addiction, anxiety, and depression.

If any of these sound like you, please reach out today for help!
