Many of the people I work with are doing quite well from the outside.

They have careers.

Families.

Responsibilities.

Accomplishments.

People depend upon them.

What other people may not see is the amount of internal energy required to maintain it.

You May Recognize Yourself Here

The Mind That Won't Switch Off

Work ends.

Thinking doesn't.

Ideas, conversations, problems and future scenarios continue long after they are useful.

The Over-Prepared Performer

Preparation has contributed to your success.

But now it can be difficult to know when enough preparation is enough.

The High-Stakes Thinker

You perform well until the outcome feels especially important.

Then clarity becomes pressure.

Pressure becomes monitoring.

And instinct gets replaced by excessive thinking.

The Perfectionistic Achiever

Your standards drive excellent performance.

They may also make mistakes feel disproportionately important and recovery unnecessarily difficult.

The Person Everyone Relies Upon

You're accustomed to being capable.

Dependable.

Composed.

The one who handles things.

Sometimes that makes it surprisingly difficult to admit when your own internal system is overloaded.

The Person Going Through a Major Transition

• A career transition.

• Relationship change.

• Retirement.

• Loss.

• A new role.

• A major decision.

Sometimes the identity that worked for one chapter doesn't transition automatically into the next.

PEOPLE I WORK WITH

• People struggling with confidence or self-esteem who second-guess themselves, seek approval, or find it difficult to speak up and set boundaries.

• People who are highly analytical and understand their problem intellectually but still can't seem to change the automatic response.

• People who are unappreciated, or disconnected from their own needs after spending so much time caring for others.

• People carrying the pressure of perfectionism or people-pleasing who want to feel more at ease with themselves.

• People adjusting to major life changes, including divorce, retirement, an empty nest, relocation, career changes, or new responsibilities.

• Professionals carrying significant pressure, including executives, entrepreneurs, financial professionals, physicians, attorneys, sales leaders and individuals navigating major transitions.

• Athletes and competitive performers who want to approach preparation and performance with greater focus, composure, and self-trust.

• People who understand their difficulties but still experience the same negative automatic reactions

• People who simply know something needs to change, even if they cannot yet explain why.

The Common Thread

You don't necessarily need more information.

Most already understand quite a lot.

You need help changing what happens automatically when the trigger appears.

That's where this work becomes different.
