Is this you?
Your job feels crushing; you're good at it, but you're starting to crack, and worry it'll show
You would call yourself a perfectionist; everyone close to you would agree
You are convinced that if you don't respond immediately to emails then Bad Things will happen
You constantly feel like you're not doing enough, but can't imagine how you could do more
Boundary-setting and saying "no" are almost nonexistent
You know you're not prioritizing your health or overall well-being, but can't seem to change
Work seeps into the evenings and weekends; even when you try to disconnect, you're still thinking about work
Vacation (or returning from it) seems too stressful to even contemplate going
Looking back, you've pretty much always been this way
Looking forward, you're really, really tired of it
Sound Familiar? We Should Talk.
Please Note: Coaching ≠ Therapy
While coaching can do many things, it is not a replacement for therapy. If you are struggling to even get out of bed, having full panic attacks, still processing a major past or recent trauma, or in general think that you might have an undiagnosed mental illness, therapy is the best place to start. Coaching can be a wonderful compliment to therapy, helping implement specific behaviors that will help with your healing. It can work well either during or after therapy, and I often work with clients who are either currently in therapy or have “graduated” from it. If you are currently working with a therapist, speak with your provider first about whether therapy could be a good addition to your support network. When in doubt, start by speaking with a therapist first.
