01

Anxiety Management

“I feel this anxiety increasing and I worry I am losing touch with reality. What if I cannot handle my job or take care of my kids anymore?”

“I will be standing in an aisle in the grocery store and suddenly feel completely overwhelmed. I break out in a sweat and it is all I can do to make it out of there.”

02

Complex Trauma Healing

“I feel like I don’t have any more to give. All my relationships are about what others need from me.”

“I don’t see any reason to get attached to anyone or anything. Everyone I have ever known has left me.”

03

Identifying and Coping with Neural Diversity

“I often forget what I was going to say and lose track of where I am in the middle of a task.”

“Once I get an idea I just can’t stop thinking about it, talking about it. I have to keep going with it until it is complete – everything else falls away.”

04

Stress Management – Life Transitions

“My heart is racing and I feel like I am going to black out. It is happening more frequently and I don’t know what to do.”

“I work all of the time. I have to continuously be doing or I feel this deep despair.”

05

Self Esteem & Relationship Issues

“My partner and I just don’t talk about anything significant anymore. We don’t have sex. It is like living with a roommate.”

“She calls me and texts me all the time. I love my mom, but she just seems to be way too involved in my life.”

06

Processing Grief And Loss

“I just don’t find that much that is interesting in my life anymore. Everything seems dark and to lead to an end.”

“My partner has been diagnosed with dementia. Where do we go from here?”

“I have lost several family members due to COVID and I don’t know how to cope with this.”
