Stop Being Perfect &
Start Being Happy
Therapy for Teens and Women
In-Person in Kirkwood and Online
throughout Missouri
You’ve always been a people-pleaser.
From an early age, you felt it was your responsibility to make everyone around you happy.
“That’s what a good person does,” you would tell yourself.
“So why do I always feel so guilty?”
Overwhelmed by worry and regret…
Lying in bed at night, you replay each interaction from the day before, wondering if you upset anyone.
You have specific ideas of how you want people to react; when they don’t, you blame yourself.
“What is wrong with me?” you wonder. “Why does everything I try to do fail?”
Lately, it’s hard to recognize the person you’ve become.
You’re tired all the time from night after night of restless sleep.
Remembering the last time you exercised or did anything resembling self-care is difficult.
You’re constantly irritable and find connecting with friends or loved ones impossible.
Feeling lost, nothing is working.
You have tried to set limits and say “no,” but the guilt is overwhelming.
You have tried reading self-help books for guidance, but the follow-through doesn’t last.
You have talked to friends, but you don’t want to be a burden.
Something has to change.
You know deep down that perfection is an impossible standard.
Being a human is hard enough. Adding on an unachievable task like perfection is torture.
But there’s a part of you that just can’t accept anything less.
There is another way.
It’s possible to achieve the life you desire.
You can re-evaluate your idea of how to be loved and accepted and stop chasing an unattainable ideal.
It is not your job to please people.
It is your job to be the person you are meant to be.
Take the leap of hope – I can help.
