In therapy with Stacey, know that you will feel better again.
You feel lost. You feel your life is out of control. Your mind never stops. You can’t sleep at night. You lose your patience easily. You’re angry. You’re sad. You worry you’re not a good Mom. You doubt yourself. You feel like you’ll never feel like yourself again. You’re tired. You’re exhausted. You’re quickly overwhelmed. You’re so busy taking care of everyone else you feel you never have time for YOU. You feel alone. Can you do this?
You’ve been through a lot and you’re under a lot of stress. Just when you start to feel that maybe you can do this, something else happens to knock you down. You desperately want to sleep through the night but your mind keeps wandering. You want to feel calm and in control but your mind won’t stop. You want to change but not sure how. Sometimes you feel like hiding. Staying inside and escaping. Sometimes it’s easier to just avoid everything that brings on the horrible feeling of anxiety—even if it’s avoiding activities you once loved. Will you ever feel better?
In therapy with Stacey, know that you will feel better again. You will sleep through the night. You will learn how to quiet your mind. You will take back control of your life. You will feel good about yourself. You’ll learn skills to lessen anxiety and stress. You’ll learn the tools and strategies to become aware of your thoughts and how they directly impact your mood and behaviour. You’ll learn how to replace irrational thoughts with helpful thoughts that make you feel empowered.
