Being the person everyone can count on can feel like a strength. And it is. But sometimes, being “the strong one” also means you’ve gotten really good at putting your own needs last. Therapy can be one place where you don’t have to be the responsible one, the helpful one, or the person who has it all together. You deserve support too.

There will always be more you could do. One more email. One more task. One more workout. One more thing you could improve, finish, clean, plan, or check off your list. But “I could do more” isn’t the same as “I’m not doing enough.” You don’t have to operate at 100% of your potential to be doing enough.

Most people don’t avoid therapy because they don’t care. They avoid it because they’ve convinced themselves it’s not the right time, not bad enough, or something they should be able to figure out on their own. While those reasons may seem logical, they often just prevent us from getting started and receiving support that ultimately will help propel us forward.

For a lot of ADHD brains, tasks like responding to emails and text messages can feel frustrating or overwhelming. We crave dopamine hits and a sense of completion, but tasks like messages and emails rarely give us that. The moment you finish, more appear. Instead of a finish line, it feels like a treadmill.
