When your mind will not stop preparing
Worry can become a way of trying to prevent mistakes, conflict, uncertainty, or disappointment before it happens.
What I can help with
People often arrive with more than one name for what is happening. Anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, relationship strain, and identity questions may be distinct concerns, and they can also overlap when years of adapting to other people have made your own needs, voice, and judgment harder to hear. Use this page to find the concern, service, or approach closest to the question you have now.
