I understand how easy it is for life to overwhelm you.
Sometimes it is big things – abuse, trauma, tragedy, loss.
Sometimes it is life crises, situational stressors, or frustrations in parenting, career or relationships.
Sometimes it is just the push-and-pull of everyday life.
Whatever it is for you, it builds up, gaining momentum and threatening to engulf you. You feel it like a tidal wave at your back, growing in size and strength as you swim for the shore with everything you’ve got. You hope you make it before the wave crashes down on you, but you’re terrified you won’t.
