Totally burnt out or mentally exhausted?

Snappy and irritable or maybe sad and pulling away? It makes total sense that you feel this way.

We live in a society that's constantly telling us to keep going. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. There are people out there who have it worse than you. Or you look around, and everybody seems to be doing just fine.

When we hear and see that enough times, we can get to the point where we feel like we don't even have permission to feel the things we're feeling. So now we're overwhelmed, anxious, struggling, and then we're mad at ourselves for having these feelings in the first place.

And we're left wondering: Is this normal? Is this how I'm supposed to feel? Is this how things are just going to be now? Do people actually go to therapy for this?

The answer is yes, people go to therapy for this. You don't have to wait until things get worse or to be in a crisis to give yourself permission to get support.  

I'm Renée, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering online therapy to adults in Maine and Virginia. I'm down-to-earth, I ask real questions, and humor (with a side of sarcasm) tends to find its way into sessions. Together, we'll look at what's underneath the stress, including patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and trouble setting boundaries, so the day-to-day doesn’t feel so hard.

If you've been wondering whether therapy might help, book a free 20-minute consultation, and we'll see if working together feels like a good fit.
