Do you ever have times in your life when you don’t know what to do?
In my therapy office I hear people struggling with all kinds of problems.
Often, they feel pulled in different directions.
It might be the desire to start a business but unsure if they can tolerate a possible failure.
Perhaps doing what is best for them isn’t what’s best for a family member.
Sometimes it looks like ending a relationship that isn’t working anymore while fearing grief that may come with the loss.
It’s really normal to wonder what other people think about you.
I’ve heard clients say things like, “I have an opinion but I’m afraid of their reaction”, “it’s easier to say nothing because then I won’t say the wrong thing”, or “I’m so busy stressing about what to say that the moment passes and my comment isn’t relevant anymore”.
