When life becomes overwhelming, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Our anxiety takes control, filling our minds with feelings of uncertainty, lack of control, and endless worry. Often, we dwell on things that we can no longer change or plan for a worst-case scenario that may never come. Anxiety makes us crave certainty and strive for a sense of control. While our minds are racing, tell us to do more, what we often need is to slow down and let go.

Perfectionism
For some, anxiety is related to perfectionism. We all have hopes of what an ideal future or outcome might look like, but oftentimes reality falls short of this vision. When this happens, many of us engage in self-doubt or critical self-talk with the hopes of pushing ourselves towards success, growth, or the perfect outcome. But this strategy does more harm than good, leading us to avoid, numb, or ruminate.
Are you having thoughts like…
I could have done more.
I'll fail anyways, so what's the point of trying?
I’m no good at this.
What if something goes wrong?
Are you feeling stuck in…
Critical and negative self-talk?
Questioning or self-sabotaging things that are going well?
Not being present or allowing yourself to enjoy the little things?
I’m here to help. Together, we can…
Help you re-establish balance and be more present in your daily life.
Adapt to perceived failures as learning moments, not measures of your self-worth.
Figure out how to achieve based on your values, not someone else’s.
Heal beliefs that you must do something perfectly to deserve love.
