It’s hard to recognize yourself.

Emotions are overwhelming and unpredictable. Ways of coping that have worked in the past are falling short. You keep waiting for things to go back to normal but it’s not happening.

  • Why can’t you stop playing interactions in your head over and over? Or worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet? Other people have bigger problems and you wonder if you’re just being ungrateful.

  • You keep making choices that later bite you in the ass and you don’t know why. Or your usual trick of telling yourself you shouldn’t be feeling what you’re feeling isn’t working. Why can’t you just get it together?

  • You’ve done everything you’re “supposed” to, but you aren’t feeling the way you expected to. All your usual ways of managing problems aren’t pulling you through.

I’m Cecilia.

I believe that getting to know and trust yourself is the most powerful thing you can do.

So many things in life are beyond our control and that’s scary and anxiety-inducing. What can keep you grounded through all of the ups and downs and curve balls?

It’s you. Let’s learn about you.
