Let’s be honest—starting therapy isn’t always a bold, empowered choice. Sometimes it’s a quiet, messy, or reluctant one. Maybe you’re simply tired of pretending everything’s fine. This space is for the parts of you that don’t have to be impressive, productive, or put-together. The parts that are unsure, grieving, angry, numb, or just curious about what else is possible.

What happened to you matters, but so does what happens next. Maybe you look "fine" on the outside but feel a lot of complicated things on the inside. You might be thriving in some ways while struggling deeply in others. You're successful and still feel completely overwhelmed. You appear to be keeping it together while quietly wondering how much longer you can manage the weight you’re carrying.
