Ever sense that your feelings had to stay hidden?

That you had to shield the people around you, or that they would be shut down, or that others were simply too busy to hear you?

Therapy can give you a space to learn how to feel them again. To talk about them. To let them out. Not just push them to one side. But listen to what the feelings are trying to tell you.

If this resonates - there's a free guide in my bio, or you're welcome to get in touch.

Not everyone who's quiet is introverted.

Some people prefer small groups, are quieter, recharge alone - that's introversion, and it's valid.

Others are quiet because somewhere along the way it didn't feel safe to express themselves or their feelings. The inner world, of emotions got shut down, as a survival response, not as a preference.

If you've always thought of or described yourself as "just shy" or "a very private" person, it might be worth getting curious as to why that is or where that comes from.

If you've never asked for help, it can feel impossible, right?

Especially if you've always just got on with things. It's so hard to suddenly change the habit of a lifetime and can bring up kinds of feelings about what it means to need support in any way.

Therapy could feel like it's just not something you do.

Until it is.

Save this as a reminder for when you need it.

Which one surprised you?

Were you told growing up you were being TOO sensitive? Too emotional? Dramatic?

That doesn't just sting in the moment. It gets under your skin and becomes the belief that makes you question your reactions, your feelings. As though they're wrong, excessive, a problem for the people around you.

But you probably were never too sensitive, you were just never told that your feelings were allowed.

Sensitivity isn't a flaw. It's information. Learning to work with it rather than against it, I think is one of the most powerful things therapy can offer. The space to connect with yourself, and your feelings.

There's a free guide in my bio if you want to read more.

Were you ever told you were making a fuss over nothing? Or that you were too sensitive?

Ever felt like you're back in the middle of chaos?

Maybe it's the doorbell or the toaster that sets you off, or even just your phone ringing.

Your nervous system is doing its job, but therapy can help unpack and process so that you can enjoy being in the here and now!

Ever notice that there's a feeling in particular that you feel frustrated by?

Or something that just KEEPS happening?

Sometimes these things are the reminders of the unfinished work we are yet to do with ourselves...
