You Help Everyone Else. Who’s Helping You?

You’re the one people call in a crisis.
You stay steady when others fall apart.
You carry responsibility, urgency, and the weight of other people’s worst days.

But when the shift ends (or the door closes) who’s there for you?

Helpers are often taught to push through, to minimize their own needs, and to keep going no matter the cost. Over time, that pattern can lead to exhaustion, numbness, and a quiet sense of disconnection from yourself and from the people you care about.

Needing support doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human.

Having a space where you don’t have to be strong (i.e., where your reactions make sense and your experiences are understood) can make a profound difference. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s about giving your nervous system a place to rest, process, and recover.

You show up for everyone else every day.
You deserve someone who shows up for you, too.
