Living fully can be a challenge, and you may be struggling with psychological forces that seem to get in the way of your living and communicating the way you want to. It may be your personal history that has set you up to be overly accommodating, and a kind of emotionally dangerous consequence of that strategy is that you have trouble saying "NO"! Claiming that you don't want something, or that you powerfully do want something, even if it inconveniences the other person is necessary for you to grow. it is also scary and a self doubting voice inside of you may be shouting, "don't do this. It's going to lead to trouble." You need support to help you find the courage to change this self-destructive pattern. I am a clinical psychologist with more than 40 years of experience helping my clients discover and legitimize their needs. Awareness is key to this process and often you may want to push you awareness of your pain and frustration away. That's safe, but counter-productive. It can be so hard to know that what you really want is OK. I will help you through that journey by examining how the conflict between wanting and being afraid came to be from your past, and most importantly, support you as you consider taking brave steps to change in the present.
