You can be capable and
anxious at the same time.
You can be reliable, successful, and still be quietly overwhelmed.

Anxiety can look like holding everything together, but struggling to be "normal" on the inside, until your body finally says “enough.”

This is the kind of anxiety we work with.
The kind that hides behind competence and busyness.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’re fine because you’re going to work every day, still showing up for family, making power decions, and weekends are booked and busy, pause here.
You need more, and we should talk.

Not feeling anything isn’t calm.
It’s protection.

You may look steady on the outside, but inside things feel distant, flat, muted or a hot mess.
That isn’t regulation. Thats someone who needs a therapist.

In trauma-focused therapy and EMDR, we help people reconnect safely.
Because without emotions, it’s harder to feel joy, build relationships, or respond to stress without shutting down.
We want you to have more joy in this new year.

If calm feels blank or unfamiliar, support may help you reconnect.
We offer virtual and in-person therapy appointments in New York — learn more at the link in our bio.

When responsibility was heavy and rest wasn’t an option. You learned to just "push through."
But we are seeing where that approach is turning into exhaustion, anxiety, emotional disconnection, or even avoidance for the clients coming through our practice.
It’s nervous system fatigue.

In our practice, we don’t tell you to slow down without support.
We help you understand why your body is resisting and teach you how to respond differently.

🍋 Bad day? Rough season?
Here’s a gentle reminder: you don’t have to live in worst-case scenario mode- That's only one way to see things.

The next time your mind wants to run wild with “what ifs,” pause. Notice the conversation in your head. Ask: Is this thought helping me?

📝 Try this instead:

Write down 3 things you’re grateful for today.

Replace “what if it all goes wrong” with “what if it works out better than I imagined?”

🍋That simple shift can take you from stuck ➡️ steady ➡️ moving forward.

Let us know if this was helpful and if it was, share it with a friend. We know it can be hard to find perspective sometimes.

When life gives you lemons… what’s your go-to response? 🍋
Do you spiral into “worst-case scenario” mode… or do you reframe and find the good?

Here’s the truth: not every tough moment has to take you down. Sometimes it’s about noticing the negative self-talk, grabbing those lemons, and turning them into something that actually fuels you forward.

✨ Quick tip: start a gratitude journal. Writing down just 2–3 things you’re thankful for each day trains your brain to see possibility instead of problems.

💬 Tell me in the comments — what’s ONE thing you are grateful for today?

👉 Want more practical tips? I break down how to actually reframe your thoughts (step by step) in this blog: https://amandafludd.com/2023/05/03/when-life-gives-you-lemons-reframe-your-thoughts/

🌿 What if your productivity system is actually making you more stressed?

Most of us have been taught that self-care is bubble baths and spa days—but let’s talk about the real tea: how you manage your time, your energy, and your to-do list is self-care.

In our next after care episode from the Self-Care Summit, we’re breaking down:
🔥 Why your “organized” routine might be adding pressure instead of peace
🔥 What you’re missing when it comes to motivation and momentum
🔥 How to shift your mindset AND your systems to finally get the important things done—without feeling so exhausted.

Late-night thoughts...

Wellness isn’t a reward for finishing the list. It’s the reason you rewrite it.

Because burnout isn’t a badge of honor.
Rethink how you plan and push so it aligns with your needs and what really matters. Too many of you are burning out trying to finish that never-ending to do list.
