Finding Your Best Self

ree

Many people spend years doing what is expected of them, keeping up with responsibilities, and being there for others.


On the outside everything looks fine, but inside there can be a quiet ache: when is it my turn?


It is not selfish to want to know yourself more deeply. That part of you is real, and it deserves attention.


Finding yourself does not mean abandoning others. It means noticing your own needs and values, and beginning to live in line with them. This can mean you have more energy and calm for the people around you.


For some, this kind of change is straightforward - slowing down, setting boundaries, and listening to what you need. For others, the work has to go deeper. Old trauma, difficult memories, or long-standing patterns can leave cracks in the foundations. Before you can build the life you want, those foundations may need repair. That is not weakness. It is simply commitment to show up and lay the foundations of a future where the fun can start.


That's where the real work begins.


You may feel curious about what therapy could be like, but also have some worries. Many people ask: If I start working on things, will I fall apart? This is actually a very common fear. The reality is that therapy is not about pulling you apart - it is about strengthening the foundations and bringing things together in a way that puts your strength, gifts and hopes right at the core.


Clients who are willing to take a leap of faith with trauma work, where there is unresolved trauma, find they feel better and better week by week.


If you are wondering what it might be like to give yourself that time, I encourage you to take a first step and simply explore. You can find out more here:
