Enso Counselling and Psychotherapy

Are you finding it difficult to switch off your thoughts? Do you often put other people’s needs and feelings first and hide parts of yourself to try and fit in?  Maybe it seems your feelings are so much bigger than everyone else’s. 

You may look as though you’re coping, while inside you’re questioning your worth, feeling alone, or wondering who you are beneath the effort to keep everyone else comfortable.  

Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or wondered why everything feels so much. You’re tired of hiding parts of yourself just to get through the day. You feel exhausted from going over every conversation and watching other people seem to move through life with ease, while each day feels like a struggle for you.  

It can be hard to know where you end, and everyone else begins. You might find yourself adapting to keep the peace, then feeling drained and lonely, and trying to understand why it’s so hard to prioritise your own needs.  

If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to keep pretending you’re OK. Together we can explore what makes it hard to put yourself first and what keeps you feeling stuck in these patterns. Over time you can begin to feel more comfortable setting boundaries and being with others in a way that feels true to you.
