Do you feel like you are on edge all the time and you don’t know why?

Your heart starts pounding or you totally check out. Maybe you completely lose it on someone. In fact, you’re not really sure why you get so angry at the drop of a hat. Do you sometimes do very risky things, then, in normal situations, find yourself feeling unsafe? Do your people mention doing or not doing things so they don’t upset you? All of these things can lead you to believe that your life has been reduced to reactions and preventative measures, but it does not actually have to be this way.

While this can feel lonely, you are not alone in this. You may be dealing with past events that still impact you and it’s something that you can face even if that feels unapproachable right now. It is not easy, but it is possible to heal from things that seem impossible to think about let alone talk about.

I want to offer you a space to heal.

I have a spot here for you, where your story isn’t “too much” to talk about and you don’t have to worry what someone will think about you. It may not have been the path you wanted to take, but this is your life. While you may not choose to tell your story to many, you deserve to be able to tell it. It belongs to you; you don’t belong to it.  

I want to take a moment to talk to the family member that lives with the person that is described above. This impacts you. Being the spouse, child or parent in this situation can leave you feeling on edge, tired, and “not enough”. This is a place you can heal as well without anyone questioning your love or loyalty to this person.
