Therapists » Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
You used to roll with the punches, but now you’re gasping for air between rounds. Subtle, isn't it? The slow erosion of yourself. It starts with a comment you let slide, it stings, but it’s easier than fighting. The laugh you force when they call you “sensitive.” The way you pause, gauging how much truth the room can handle. Then it’s every moment you shrink to fit their expectations. Every word you've bitten back to keep the peace - swallowed it whole when you wanted to scream. With each compromise, you lose a piece of yourself. Now, when you look in the mirror, you see someone else. Not you. Merely the version they can tolerate. But let’s get one thing straight: love with conditions isn’t love at all. It’s not just a trap – it’s a leash, tethering you to their rules, yanking you back whenever you try to break free. “Blood is thicker than water,” they say. But what they don’t say is that it’s thicker than air – and you’ve been choking on it for years. Enough. You've spent too long shrinking, waiting for scraps of approval. It's time to stop hiding and reclaim the voice they tried to silence. I'm here to help you sort through the noise and rediscover the parts of you still fighting to be seen. When you're ready, book a free consultation. Let's torch their rulebook together and write one that's yours.
