Black EMDR Therapist in Georgia
Do you feel weighed down by the expectation to excel and always appear perfect?
There’s a lot of pressure that comes with feeling expected to do everything and have everything together.
You feel a sometimes suffocating pressure to achieve greatness, be available at all times, have all the answers, be happy, and look good while doing it. They need you to be Ok so that they can be OK. So, when you don’t feel together, you pretend that you are.
You only show the parts of yourself that you think people want to see or the parts that you think they can handle. This keeps everyone happy…EXCEPT YOU. You’re tired of needing support and no one knowing. You’re ready to do something different.
It’s time to fully embrace who you are inside.
I'll Help You Do Things Differently
I know you don’t think you can afford to step back and take care of yourself. You already have tons of things to do and no energy to do them. But you also can’t afford to keep giving what you don’t have to give and exhausting yourself.
Keeping to yourself is keeping you from experiencing new things. Keeping you from enjoying yourself. Holding it all in makes it possible for depression, anxiety, and other stress related challenges to take up space in your life.
Have you considered that though it may seem unrealistic to take a step back, it may be exactly what you need to move forward?

What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing life experiences. It involves guided eye movements to help reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional charge. This therapy is particularly effective for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges.
Change comes from caring for yourself, learning to receive support, and being open and aware of what you need. Psychotherapy can help by giving you the chance to explore your options and figure out what works best for you. Therapy can support you in increasing self-compassion and vulnerability so that you can grow internally and learn to navigate life challenges.
You can learn to:
– manage your anxiety
– increase trust in others
– feel better about yourself
– communicate with getting angry
– create space for yourself even when others aren’t cooperating
