Change doesn't happen by trying to be different. It happens by becoming more fully what you already are.

You want to feel solid in yourself, yet find that you lose yourself in relationships.

You have a hard time knowing what you actually feel, need or want, even though you’re excellent at perceiving what others are feeling, needing, or wanting.

You feel responsible for others, believing that if someone is unhappy or has a problem, you need to make it better.

You feel both “too much” and “not enough” for other people.

You may have a difficult relationship with food.

You may only communicate what you need or want when you reach a point of nearly unbearable disappointment and frustration.

You may question whether you have a right to therapy when other people "have it worse."

You struggle to say no or set boundaries and often feel exhausted.

You may experience chronic tension in your jaw, neck, shoulders, or back, or have digestive issues or chronic inflammation.

You may at times feel numbness, a sense of being slightly removed from yourself and the world around you, and at other times feel an overwhelming amount of emotion, alternating between feeling “too much” and “too little.”
