You're Not Alone in Decatur
Before anything changes, it helps to name what you are carrying. For many Decatur clients, it sounds something like this:
Lost yourself in becoming a mother?
You used to know who you were. Now your entire identity is "mom" and you're mourning the person you used to be while everyone tells you to "enjoy every moment."
Racing thoughts keeping you up at night?
You lie awake as your mind spirals through every worst-case scenario. The 3 AM anxiety hits differentΓÇöand you're exhausted of feeling exhausted.
Pushing people away before they can hurt you?
You've built walls so high you can't remember what's on the other side. Connection feels dangerous. Vulnerability feels like weakness.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
