Therapy for Executive and Professional Women
You want to lead with confidence but the thought of failing to achieve can be overwhelming. The intense drive to be better, to do more, is exhausting. Office politics, expectations, and anxiety can have far-reaching effects as far as your work and home life are concerned. I understand that pressure. Let’s explore how I can help.
Expectations at work and at home drive perfectionism.
Every day you have to meet high expectations at work. It can feel like your reputation is at stake all the time. This is a big deal and can have pretty serious implications on your life in and outside of work. Delegating work to be done to your standards—and to the standards of your executive team—is hard, and in essence, effect your brand as an executive. The stress of doing it all can create feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression. This can strain relationships with colleagues, family, and friends. It can be damaging to your mental and physical health.
Perfection is unattainable.
Trying to be perfect all of the time brings feelings of anxiety, extreme stress, depression and spiraling out of control. These are very important feedback mechanisms that are telling you what you’re doing is not working and it’s time for help. Something has to change.
You deserve to honor your achievements.
You’re a high achiever—it shows in your work. You deserve to honor your achievements rather than plowing over them to get to the next mountain to climb. Pause and reflection begin to create balance. When in balance, you will be able to lead from a place of self vs leading from a place of fear and anxiety. You will be much more productive and a better leader. You will also be a good example of what healthy and sound leadership looks and feels like.
You can feel calm, fulfilled and whole. Imagine what it would feel like to have the respect of your peers and co-workers because you helped them make valuable contributions at work. Imagine coming home ready to pursue other passions. You can.
