Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling Online in Oregon
“AHHHH, it’s just all SO much!”
It’s happening again. And it’s time for individual counseling. You want to pull your hair out in frustration – or collapse, crying, on your bed.
The expectations and pressures are intense.
You want to be an excellent partner, mother, employee, daughter, friend, citizen, and more.
But it’s too much –
And you’re struggling to keep up with it.
You need counseling.
How can you possibly get to work, cook dinner, walk the dog, be a good person, exercise enough, eat well, call your mom, and keep up on current events?
It always piles up like this.
You’re completely overwhelmed.
All the while, you keep wondering, “When will what I do EVER be good enough?!?!”
It’s not just you – being a woman today is HARD.
All you want is to get a break – to take some time and genuinely care for yourself.
To put down these expectations for a while to focus on you.
You wish your perception of yourself wasn’t inextricably bound up in what you do.
But how do you break that connection? Individual counseling is a start…
Because when you’re stressed, it’s so hard that you lash out – unintentionally taking out your frustration and overwhelm on your loved ones.
Or you shut down in bed – in exhaustion and tears.
Either way, consumed by guilt, you worry now that no one likes you. How could they?
Once again, you’ve proven what you’ve always suspected in your gut –
You’re just never going to be good enough.
Why can’t you be the person you want to be?
How is it SO hard to be happy?
When will you get it together and take care of yourself?
Hey! Let me stop you right there. It’s not your fault!
The pressure you experience is waaaay more than any woman can possibly handle – and it’s just unnecessary.
You don’t have to live a perfect life to be a good person.
And you don’t need the endless internal beatings and mountains of pressure heaped upon you to do what you need to do.
You know you deserve kindness, care, and compassion. Individual counseling can help.
And you can give it to yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with YOU.
You’re just not meant to do this much!
Being okay, without having to prove yourself, loving, accepting, and appreciating yourself.
All these things are available to you with individual counseling.
Don’t you wish –
It was possible to truly take care of yourself?
That you could actually be kind to yourself, giving yourself an abundance of love and self-compassion?
You could be ok the way you are, without having to do anything to prove yourself, letting go of ALL the pressure and standards?
Well, my friend, you CAN!
Please, stop letting these pressures overtake and consume you.
Stop listening to the incessant criticism about how you’re not enough or doing it wrong.
Don’t be talked into sacrificing your own care and love.
Discover who you really are and what you can truly do – through individual counseling.
In counseling, you’ll discover clarity.
You’ll make a concrete plan to care for and love yourself.
We’ll address the externals and the internals that keep you from doing this.
As you engage in mindfulness, you’ll see – you don’t need to be tortured and pressured. You’ll begin to give yourself what you really want.
Treat yourself with the love and care you deserve.
You’ll learn to be okay letting yourself off the hook – to be at peace with yourself, exactly the way you are.
Knowing, guess what?! You’re okay – no matter what.
When there’s something you want or need to do, we’ll find kind and reasonable ways to do them, without all the nasty criticism.
You’ll be able to prioritize what actually matters to you.
And savor the transformations.
As you become kinder and more compassionate toward yourself, your feelings about yourself – and others – will change.
You’ll stop being dragged down by the harsh demands of self-criticism and spiraling in a string of self-loathing and shame.
Enjoying yourself and your life – appreciating what you do and what you offer – loving and at peace with yourself.
And knowing where to turn to get the internal validation and support you need.
Put an end – once and for all – to the endless cycle of doing.
Imagine the extraordinary life you can create and savor.
Let’s dump all this baggage around being and doing and start focusing on giving –
Giving yourself the love and care you deserve today.
You can live that life.
