“I feel like I have to fix their emotions”
“I’ve done a lot of talk therapy but i still feel bad when people are upset with me.”
“I resent others, but don’t want to upset them by communicating boundaries.”
Sound familiar?
You’re tired.
A part of you learned that laying low and keeping others happy kept you safe.
Your nervous system still feels stuck bringing up intense responses as if you are still in the past. Those old outdated ways of shutting down, and appeasing may have helped you back then but now you want to set boundaries and communicate your needs as the healthy adult you are.
In the moment your nervous system is taxed:
You stay in relationships where you do most of the work
Racing thoughts before bed keeping you up about having to make a decision.
You say yes when you mean no—and feel resentful later wishing people would read your mind.
You feel like your beliefs or emotions may be wrong.
If this sounds familiar, your nervous system may be exhausted trying to keep you safe but your body struggles to relax.
These are the echoes of chronic stress and/or trauma.

investing in your own wellbeing can change everything. Healing the nervous system affects our lives dramatically.
-
We do a lot more than talk therapy after gaining understanding of what you’re experiencing and truly understanding how different experiences impacted your nervous system.
-
If you wait til people are not in the room to let out how you feel about a situation or have to speak passive aggressively to get your needs met then this is for you.
-
I joke and say I have a “hate, hate” relationship with CBT because I love helping my clients make bigger changes. I am a therapist who enjoys seeing my clients make major changes in session so they have less homework to do in-between.
-
I do a lot of deeper trauma work with clients who are tired of mentally knowing what happened but struggle with remembering parts and want to have better insight into why they respond the way they do today. Those clients benefit from doing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
If you are struggling with falling asleep, you’re physically and mentally on edge scanning the room or looking for threats in conversations for someone to be mad at you then Neurofeedback Brain Training could help you immensely.
If you overthink and get stuck in your thoughts a lot and want a body based approach to soothing your nervous system then Somatic Therapy would be helpful for you.
Many of my clients do a combination or they do an EMDR Intensive with Somatic work to expedite those stuck memories or do Neurofeedback as a precursor to processing negative beliefs and memories.

Do the deep work to understand what situations make it challenging to acknowledge your own needs, calm your nervous system to help you communicate in a place of curiosity and connection. This allows you to more consciously choose how you want to respond.
