Therapy for anxious millennial women
Maybe you’re feeling stressed about the state of your romantic relationship, perhaps you’re questioning your career situation or wishing you were living a more fulfilled life at this point in the journey. You are worthy of (and capable of) living a more peaceful and joyous life. Together, we can identify the steps you’ll need to walk to get you there.
How anxiety might be affecting you:
Relational conflict (you’re struggling to navigate your romantic relationship because you’re caught in generational cycles that have been exacerbated by your own life stress)
Catastrophizing (causing you to ruminate on worst case scenarios and causing you to get “stuck” in your head, analyzing your life situation)
Perfectionism and procrastination (because you believe you’re unworthy if you’re unproductive or imperfect, you crave perfectionism- but you become overwhelmed by what it takes to be perfect and so you procrastinate entirely)
Emotional flooding (you struggle to contain your emotions and therefore you either lash out or shut down- either making someone else responsible for your emotions or isolating yourself from people that might help you)
Difficulty setting boundaries (because you’re so concerned about judgment from others, you struggle to ask for help, say no to family members or friends, express your feelings, set boundaries with coworkers, and you struggle to intervene on your own ruminative thought patterns or behaviors)
I think you want…
I think you want to wake up feeling peaceful. I think you want to feel confident in your decision making, to feel confident in your own skin, and to feel in control of yourself emotionally. I think you want to feel proud of what you accomplish by the end of each day and also relaxed, fulfilled and happy. I think you want to have a healthy relationship with a life long partner, I think you want to be connected to friends and to your own personal identity. I think you want to have FUN and to not always be living in a state of anxiety and overwhelm.
I think what you want is ACHIEVABLE. But I also think what you want might require some PLAY.
Play?
Yes… play. Exploration. Experimentation. Curiosity. Observation. Discovery. That’s what therapy is about when we take a mindfulness and somatic based approach. The truth is, we didn’t become anxious people overnight; so we aren’t going to become “not anxious” people overnight either. While effort is required, so is gentleness and so is playfulness.
Some of the “play” involves becoming investigative about how your past affects your present and curious and intentional about how your present affects your future.
