What is therapy?
Therapy reframes as integration and connection—no one broken—for high performers noticing inner-outer disconnects. It slows automatic patterns (anxiety, burnout, relational loops) to reveal history, nervous system roots, enabling authentic living.
Core process: Make invisible visible (body cues, shame stories in micro-moments); new relational experiences (voicing fears without rupture); low-risk practice (boundaries, emotion presence); life integration (experiments refined in sessions); compassionate narrative rebuild (from "broken achiever" to whole self).
Change via safety, shared clarity, insight-to-action—not advice, but nervous system rewiring. High performers shift from white-knuckling to sustainable being in body, relationships, work.
