What’s something that’s been feeling heavier than you’ve been letting on?
Reminder from a therapist: you don’t have to carry everything alone.
Not the stress.
Not the emotional weight you keep telling yourself you should be able to handle.
Not the quiet grief of loss.
Not the shift in relationships, including breakups.
Not the silent struggles that linger even when you’re trying to move forward.
You’re allowed to need support without being at a breaking point. You don’t have to justify why it hurts or explain it away. Some things are simply hard to hold by yourself.
Whether it’s in partners, family members, friends, therapy, or even nature… it’s important to have at least once place where you can exhale, say the things you haven’t said yet, and let someone help you carry what’s been heavy.
If you want support and are in CA, you can schedule a free consultation with me at actauthentically.me or through the link in my bio.
