On the outside, Katie looked like she had it all together. She worked hard, took care of her family, and kept the appearance of “adulting like a rockstar.” But behind the brave face, Katie was struggling. Her mind was filled with negative thoughts telling her she wasn’t enough. She felt miserable, exhausted, and completely drained of energy.
Katie put on a smile for the world, but inside she was terrified that one day the façade would crack, and everyone would see her as she saw herself, worthless, unlovable, and failing.
Eventually, the cracks began to show. Mistakes at work, constant arguments with her spouse, emotional eating, and endless hours of binge-watching TV left her feeling even more hopeless. She was lying on the couch each evening with no energy to take care of herself or her family. Katie felt more isolated than ever.
She found herself asking:
“What happened to the passionate, fun, excited woman I used to be? Where did she go?”
That’s when Katie reached out for help. Through telehealth therapy in Maryland, she began to uncover the source of her negative thoughts and the inner voice that was keeping her stuck in the cycle of anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Together, we worked to quiet that critical voice and replace it with one that was positive, supportive, and empowering.
Over time, Katie discovered how to stop merely surviving and start truly thriving. She reconnected with her confidence, her joy, and her strength.
Today, Katie is thriving. She feels closer to her spouse, has the energy to play with her kids, enjoys time with friends, sleeps peacefully at night, and makes decisions that are healthy for her. Most importantly, Katie has gone from being her own worst enemy to her own best friend.
Therapy gave Katie the tools to reclaim her life and you can too. If you’re ready to break free from anxiety, exhaustion, and negative thoughts, Wellness From Within Counseling offers compassionate online therapy for women in Maryland to help you find balance, confidence, and peace.
