What's My Approach to Therapy?
Nothing is obviously wrong, yet something doesn’t sit right. Your life looks stable. Your family looks good. You’re capable, responsible, and often the one others rely on. Still, you don’t feel as steady on the inside as you look on the outside.
You replay conversations later and wonder if you misunderstood something. You second-guess your reactions. You catch yourself asking if you’re being too sensitive or making things bigger than they are. Part of you feels pretty sure something isn’t right. Another part immediately shuts that down.
You go back and forth between “trust your gut” and “you’re overthinking.” Between intuition and anxiety. Between knowing something matters and telling yourself it shouldn’t. Sometimes your emotions feel intense and sudden. Other times you feel disconnected from them, like they’re just out of reach. You may feel loyal to people who’ve hurt you in ways you can’t quite explain and guilty for even questioning it, especially when nothing was obviously wrong on the surface.
You’re not looking for advice or someone to tell you what to think. You’re not trying to blame anyone. You just want to understand why you doubt yourself so much and how to feel more certain in your own body and in your relationships.
If you’ve been carrying this kind of quiet confusion for a while, therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and rebuild trust in yourself without having to justify or explain it away. Most people reach out when they realize they don’t want to keep doubting themselves anymore.
