Do you often find yourself absorbing the stress, worry, or emotional heaviness of those around you? Whether it’s at work, in your family, or among friends, it can feel like you're carrying the weight of other people's anxieties. If you’re someone who takes on the emotional burdens of others, you might find yourself drained, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge. You may feel like you can never escape the anxiety you pick up from those around you, even when you're not physically with them. In therapy, we’ll work together to develop skills to protect your emotional space without disconnecting from others and manage the dynamics of family, friendships, and workplace interactions, so that you can engage with empathy, without taking on the stress. It’s exhausting to feel unheard or overwhelmed by emotions that aren’t fully your own. If you’re ready to stop absorbing the anxiety of others, let go of overfunctioning, and start feeling like yourself again, reach out today.
