About
Your mom just sent, “Think you can make the family trip?” Deep Creek this summer would be relaxing. Easy peasy decision right? But you're agonizing over if you should go or not. Your shoulders are as taut as a violin. Your head pounds from the spinning vortex of what to possibly say. Before you know it tears are tipping over the edge and down your cheek. Now they just won’t stop. Your breath is short and shallow as you shut the bathroom door with a click. Turning to the sink, you splash water on your face to snap yourself out of it, hoping it'll keep the nausea at bay. And yet you feel bone-weary tired simultaneously. Celiacs? Hyperthyroid? Abdominal Migraine? Nope. You might pull your hair out if you see one more House Hunters rerun while waiting to see another specialist. This isn’t sustainable. The dam will break at any moment. You need a wildly compassionate but frank person to connect the dots on what’s going on with your mind AND your body. Another Rehoboth weekend is a flash in the pan. Bandaids don't fix bullet holes. Zoning out on the beach is worlds better than sitting in another doctor’s office and having them tell you it's all in your head. I hear you. You need, slow, steady and soothing presence, not medicalized invalidation. We can calm the waters together. Email me to get started now. Specialties: Are you tired of being tired?
