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. . . . #therapy #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #chicagotherapist #illinoistherapist #onlinetherapy #anxietytherapy #peoplepleasing #peoplepleaser #boundaries #selfcare #burnout #highfunctioninganxiety #emotionalwellness #therapyworks #embodiedwellness

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.

Most people don’t avoid therapy because they don’t care.

Most of us have a place where tension settles, and over time we become so used to it that we stop noticing it's there. A body scan is simply the practice of paying attention.

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.
