You do not need to hold it all together.
You do not need to hold it all together.
You are the one everyone counts on. The one who anticipates, manages, prevents, smooths over. The one who is exhausted in ways no one else can see.
That is not a personality flaw. It is a nervous system that learned, a long time ago, that staying one step ahead was the only way to feel safe.
I help overfunctioning women and mothers in Nashville put the clipboard down and find out who they are when they are not managing everything.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! -Anna White, MS, LPC-MHSP
I am Anna, a licensed professional counselor in Nashville. I work with women who are tired of being the strong one, the initiator, the fixer, the emotional thermostat of every room they walk into.
My work is depth oriented and slow on purpose. Using IFS, somatic therapy, and attachment based approaches, we go past the to do list and into the parts of you that are still bracing for impact.
You do not need to be more disciplined. You need your body to finally believe it is safe to stand down.
Who I work with
If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
• You monitor everyone's mood before you notice your own
• Rest feels unproductive, even dangerous
• You are praised for how well you hold it together, and it is starting to cost you something
• You are a mother who feels responsible for outcomes that were never yours to control
• You know how to fix everything except the exhaustion underneath it
