Therapy is the best investment in yourself ✨

Therapy is the best investment in yourself ✨

So often censoring ourselves, we don’t tell othe

So often censoring ourselves, we don’t tell others what we really think, feel, and need. We fear that it’s too much, and that others will pull away.

But here’s an important truth: Without authenticity, we can’t feel close to others.

We feel distant, if we aren’t truly known.

Our unspoken thoughts, feelings, and needs create a space between us and the people around us.

Shame tells you to hide. Authenticity tells you to take up space.

Come out of the shadows by sharing what’s really going on inside of you, not just the shiny, filtered parts. 🌅

Abandoning yourself fits like an old shoe. It’s

Abandoning yourself fits like an old shoe. It’s worn out, but you slip into it easily.

You’re constantly exhausted, running circles around what you think is going on inside of everyone else.

You’re not going to find the intimacy you crave. You can’t show up in a relationship, if you’re nowhere to be found.

You’re not able to tell people what you really think and feel. You’re a chameleon—twisting and bending yourself to fit the shapes of others.

So here’s a question for you: What do you need? You probably have no idea.

Therapy can help you create a map of yourself. You deserve that. You’ve spent so many years lost in fear of people leaving you. It’s time to find intimacy with yourself, so you can find intimacy with others. 👩‍❤️‍👩
