You wake up already tired. There’s breakfast to make, emails to answer, kids’ activities to plan, work deadlines to meet, and somehow you’re also supposed to exercise, eat well, maintain friendships, and remember every school form, dentist appointment, and birthday party. If you feel like you’re holding the whole world together while quietly falling apart yourself — you’re not alone.

When life feels overwhelming — anxiety that won’t quiet down, sadness that lingers, relationship patterns that keep repeating — it’s natural to want relief fast. Many modern therapy approaches are designed to give you just that: symptom reduction and practical tools in a short time. While these can be valuable, quick fixes often leave the deeper roots of suffering untouched.
