You’re a pro at rewriting texts 7 times so they don’t sound “weird” *

online therapy in maryland & virginia
For sensitive, overthinkers who absorb everyone else’s feelings like a human emotional sponge.
therapy for the deep feeling/professional overthinkerYou’ve tried reassuring yourself & distracting yourself with your 97th rewatch of The Office.
You’ve journaled (sorta). You’ve meditated- until your thoughts got too loud a minute in and you decided that was enough for today thankyouverymuch.
And if one more person suggests that you’re “too sensitive” or should “just stop worrying”, you might actually lose your shit-politely.
How bout moving towards these fellas…
-
Carrying less of everyone else's feelings
You can care without becoming everyone’s emotional sponge.
-
Feeling less hijacked by anxiety
Even the 3 am kind with the racing thoughts and tight chest
-
Showing up with more confidence
Without replaying every convo for days (or years) afterwards.
I’ll give you practical tools, gentle insights and a cozy place to untangle your thoughts (that isn’t your notes app at 11:45 pm.)
So you can stop absorbing everyone else’s feelings, spiral less over what people think, and finally feel comfier in your own skin.
you deserve a solid gameplan.
Because “just stop worrying” and “trust your gut” isn’t gonna cut it.
^^^Especially when anxiety spikes and your gut constantly warns you of impending doom 🙃.
