It’s not just that you don’t rock the boat, it’s that you steady the boat while it's being rocked. And you are nothing if not determined. So why that unsettled panicky flutter in bed? You know the one.... mild nausea and critical thoughts on loop while sleep escapes you. The truth is, steadying the boat gives you a perception of control. A sense that everything will be okay if you can just keep up the façade of okay. It's familiar, comfortable. But these days the exhaustion is bone deep. At this point you have tried everything from meditation to medication to basic talk therapy filled with homework and more pressure to be perfect.
So you take melatonin and magnesium before bed but there is no amount of organic fair trade supplements that will ease this dis-ease. This is deeper work. Because no one taught you how to stop performing. Instead they modeled the opposite... compulsive over-functioning. So for starters, let that damn boat sink. Swim to shore, I’ll be waiting for you there.
Lucky for you, feelings are my forte. So if you have been avoiding yours, or are afraid to stop the over-functioning for fear of what you might feel next, that's ok. Because you might be processing what your family or ancestors couldn't. So instead of cleaning your kitchen (again), go to my website. Schedule your free 20-min consult today to start healing.

I am a relational, attuned trauma therapist. I help people interrupt automatic responses by guiding them towards noticing them, and eventually by replacing those unconscious behaviors w/ intentional choice. Often these choices don't seem possible at first. But over time, and only by understanding the systemic and personal motivations behind automatic survival-based responses, empowerment comes.
