Therapy for Women Experiencing Burnout, Anxiety, & Relationship Stress in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Guiding Women Through Burnout and Anxiety Towards Balance, Confidence, and Emotional Freedom
You may not recognize it as burnout. Maybe it just feels like life has worn you down. You might even dismiss it at first, thinking it’s just everyday tiredness, having a lot on your plate, or the occasional life stress. The thing is … you were exhausted last week … and the week before … and no amount of rest seems to touch the depths of the depletion you’re experiencing inside.
Sometimes you don’t realize something is amiss until you’ve been running on empty for weeks, months, or even years. There isn’t always a defining breaking point. You just know something feels a bit “off” and it’s beginning to affect your body, emotions, thought-life, and relationships. It’s hard to name what’s happening because things might technically “look fine” on the surface. Some days it feels small and less consequential. Other days it feels overwhelming, urgent, and absolutely momentous.
You try to give more. Do more. Be more.
It never seems like enough. It never quite quells the internal ache. You find yourself receiving less. You check-in with others but rarely feel like those who should care for you check-in on you. You’re used to shouldering the burden, being strong, and carrying the weight of it all. Sometimes silently and without complaint. You find yourself silencing your own voice to keep the peace. It may feel akin to quietly drowning without someone reaching out a hand to ask: “hey, are you doing okay?”
