Find new ways to see each other and grow closer together.
Achiever Therapy
You are a go-getter. You work hard in your life and have big dreams and goals. Before you know it, another opportunity presents itself and you are off and running again.
But that’s the struggle. You are so busy “doing” you rarely slow down to “be”. In all the achieving, you haven’t asked yourself how you feel about your life. Is what you are doing still what you want to be doing? Does what has been central in your life still feel central or do you find yourself wanting more space for friendship, family, leisure, or play?
Let’s let your soul catch up with you, understand what truly is “you” now and what is not, and live with greater authenticity and aliveness in the now.
Pleaser Therapy
But you feel hallow inside and rarely connect with what you like, feel, or need, and long for. You are so caught up in accommodating and meeting everyone else’s needs that the essentialness of your own self gets lost or deeply hidden.
And yet this way of being is often how you stay connected to your people because surely if your feelings, thoughts, and needs are known you would be rejected or “too much”. At least that’s the belief deep inside.
As this dynamic shows up in our work together, we will try and acknowledge what it is being replayed and work out what it could be like to play with assertion, aggression, and letting me and others into what you feel and need. You deserve to exist, let’s work towards that aim together.
