Somatic Therapy for People Who Do Too Much
-
The one no one has to worry about. The dependable one. The caretaking one. The one who gets things done.
-
There is so much to do, all the time. You’re on overdrive, overfunctioning, keeping it all together. Resting feels impossible, or uncomfortable, or gives rise to guilt or anxiety.
-
The good friend. The good daughter. The good parent/partner/sister/colleague/fill-in-the-blank. You know exactly what others want from you, and you don’t know how to not give it to them.
-
You got such good feedback for being this way that it’s scary to be anything else.
-
Suddenly so much feels new again—what this will mean for you, what to do next, even who you are right now.
-
Maybe you’ve done therapy before or maybe just your own self-work, but you have a pretty good handle on your narrative and why you are the way you are. You wonder what comes after that.
Hi. I’m Emily.
I help people who have it all together to release old patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and control to learn how to rest, feel, say no, and (re)connect to their bodies.
In therapy, we’ll work together to help you:
Feel genuinely calm and sturdy on the inside.
Find ease in slowing down and safety in stillness.
Protect your own time and energy while still being there for others.
Feel loved and valued for exactly who you are, not what you do.
Actually believe that no is a complete sentence.
Enter a new life phase feeling connected to yourself, grounded in your body, and able to respond rather than react.
More Than Just Talking
Sometimes, talking out a problem or continuing to gain insight can be what feels most helpful—and we can also go beyond conversation.
