Living life with anxiety and depression can be like navigating a minefield every single day.
The things that trigger your anxiety - whether that’s work, casual social interactions like phone calls, conflict with loved ones, sexuality, or just the obstacles and annoyances of daily life - make your body feel revved up and exhausted at the same time. Inside your brain feels like a pinball machine, bouncing around in endless loops from one worry to another. Sometimes you try to suppress the worry by just shutting everything down, numbing yourself with food or sleep or screens - anything to stop feeling like this all the time. But the more you numb out, the smaller and more meaningless life seems to be.
Guilt creeps in at the thought that you’re watching life just pass by, and that you’re not showing up for your relationships in the way that you want to. But at this point, you’re not even sure you feel worthy of those relationships anyway. You want to try and dig your way out of this somehow, but making even the smallest decision about how to do that feels overwhelming. When you try to figure it out, the worry creeps in and takes over again.
You could read the million-and-one books out there with all the techniques in the world for breathing through your anxiety and coping with your depression. Maybe you have! And the techniques help a little...but you keep finding that you can’t “just breathe” your way out of this.
You want more than just coping tools.
You want out of this cycle - to not feel so afraid and sad at just being in the world.
And fortunately, there is a way out. Together, we’ll listen deeply to the important messages your anxiety and depression are giving you - which are likely different from what they’re telling you to do. After a while, they won’t need to shout so loud. You’ll learn to access a profound inner strength you didn’t know you had, and a sense of spaciousness to balance out the heaviness you’ve been carrying.
Let’s find out what your life can feel like without some of the shit that weighs you down.
