If someone feels overwhelmed, as though everything is piling up and spiraling out of control, they might struggle with self-acceptance and feel burdened by negativity. Relationships with others can become difficult, and they may find it challenging to say no, even when they genuinely want to. Perhaps they have experienced trauma, making even the simplest aspects of life feel unmanageable at times. Sleep may be elusive, with the mind racing at night or being jolted awake by flashbacks or nightmares, leaving them unable to calm down. Despite efforts to bury these feelings, the weight of pretending that everything is okay can become overwhelming, leading to a sense of helplessness and loneliness in a crowd. In these moments, it is essential to envision a space of calmness and tranquility — a life where things are not so hard, and they feel worthy of good experiences. There is hope for freedom from the anger, shame, and sadness they carry. In this envisioned place, relationships become positive and fulfilling, and they can find confidence in a deeper connection with themselves and their understanding of their emotions.
