The weight of expectation

Ever felt that other people, and their happiness, depend solely on you and that everything might just fall apart if you don't keep it all together?

Ever felt that you have to keep moving forward because if you stop, even for a second, even if you're exhausted, you might be letting people down?

Ever felt that you are responsible for managing how people react and that if you don't plan for every possible eventuality then everything might crumble?

It's a huge burden to carry alone and maybe not one that is necessarily yours to carry at all (or at least not all alone).

If you have ever wished that there was someone you could share how lonely and overwhelming it feels with, therapy might be that place. It can be a place for you to share your experience with someone who won't judge you for feeling that the burden you carry is heavy. It can be a place you seek the support to help you keep on carrying the load or it can be a place for you to explore why you feel the burden of responsibility is solely yours and how you might want to change that.
