You wish you could make it stop. The little voice inside your head that tells you, “You’ll never be good enough.” You’re losing sleep. You feel exhausted. And yet you just can’t seem to get that little voice to be quiet, even for just a few minutes a day. It started when you were a child, from a critical parent who demanded you get straight As on your report card, participate in numerous sports, and volunteer on the weekend. And when you weren’t perfect, their disappointment was known. You were used to the silent treatment. You were used to being afraid of their reaction. You were used to the unachievable standard.
You can stop that voice instead your head. You can start sleeping again. You can let your past go so it no longer interferes with your present. Getting over a difficult childhood isn’t easy yet it’s rewarding when you can look back on your childhood without anger, resentment, regret, and sadness. And in doing so, you can be happier and healthier.
As an EMDR trained Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I love to help individuals like you reclaim a childhood that feels like it was lost to a demanding parent, or neglectful parent. As someone who's been there, I know you can let go of your past and grow to be stronger and have the type of relationship with yourself you want.
