You Can Construct a Life You've Always Envisioned. You Just Need the Right Tools and Support.
You find yourself overwhelmed with how your emotions seem to control you, the situation, and your life. You're feeling anxious? You throw yourself into work and become a perfectionist. You feel angry? You lash out at your loved ones, creating distance and hurt. When you're stressed, it becomes even more difficult to handle. Or, maybe you find yourself "zoning out" when things get too intense. Your partner is begging you to pay attention and you feel like your mind is in another world. Sound familiar?
Maybe, you find yourself making impulsive decisions. Signing up for extra work when you're already overwhelmed. Texting your ex when you're feeling lonely. Spending money on things you don't need because it makes you feel better temporarily. It all makes you feel better for a moment, but then it all comes crashing down. Leaving you feeling empty, ashamed and guilty.
Your friends have mentioned that your thinking is "rigid" or "black and white." But you have to do things a certain way or there will be consequences. There's work to be done? You're always the one to do it, or else it won't be done correctly. If you don't? You're incredibly hard on yourself and feel like a failure. There's an image you need to uphold? You'll go above and beyond to make sure it stays perfect. If it doesn't? It feels like the end of the world.
You're exhausted from the pressure you put on yourself and constantly trying to control everything around you. Deep down, you just want to feel in control of your emotions and life again. But you're not sure how to get there. You know there are better ways to handle things, but it's hard to shake off these patterns, your feelings, and thoughts. This is where Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can help.
