Getting out of bed in the morning is so hard to do when the weight of self-hatred is sitting on your chest. You pride yourself on anticipating others’ needs before they even ask, but didn’t know that caring would come at the expense of feeling dread constantly. You told yourself you would lighten your load, but the thought of how you’re a bad person plays on repeat until you give in. I’m Alison - quirky, passionate, a bit of a dork - and a therapist (LMFT to be exact). We’ll be curious about what it’s like to be you and challenge the lies your inner bully feeds you. You keep telling yourself that it’s not the right time for therapy; maybe in a month you’ll set time for yourself. Except there will never be a good time to start: you’re a pro at filling up your schedule and putting yourself last. Instead of numbing yourself day-to-day, fantasizing about falling asleep and never waking up, why not try something different? Schedule your appointment now.
