Caught Between Expectations and Your Own Needs?
Feeling stuck between family expectations and your own needs can be deeply exhausting. Maybe you’re the one who keeps the peace, carries the weight, and puts everyone else first, but somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with what you want. Every decision feels like a tug-of-war, and the fear of disappointing others keeps you stuck.
Maybe you're wondering:
"Why do I always feel like I’m too much and not enough at the same time?"
“Is it selfish to want more for myself?”
“When will my needs matter?”
“Why do I feel guilty when I choose myself?”
"How did I become the one everyone depends on, but no one checks in on?"
These questions are valid. These feelings are real. And they can leave you feeling disconnected, from yourself, your values, and even the people you care about.
Therapy can help you make sense of it all.
In our work together, you’ll find a space free of judgment, full of compassion, where we gently explore how to balance your needs with the expectations that surround you. You’ll learn how to:
- Reconnect with your voice
- Set boundaries that honour both your heart and your heritage
- Build a life that feels more authentic and aligned, and less like a constant compromise
You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s begin your healing, together.
