Restore Your Equilibrium
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like we’re always on, perpetually connected to our devices and apps. The pressure to respond instantly, the constant quest for dopamine hits from notifications, and the expectation of being perpetually available have become the norm. The demands of the modern digital age can be overwhelming, often blurring the lines between our professional and personal lives.
At Futsi therapy, we understand the challenges of living in this fast-paced world. We’ve partnered with Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and, as a result, have had the privilege of working with many individuals in the tech industry and the legal field. We recognize the unrealistic demands, the threat of burnout, and the glamorization of overworking that are often associated with these professions.
While we specialize in supporting tech professionals and attorneys, it’s essential to note that we don’t work exclusively with them. Our doors are open to everyone seeking to find work/life balance and well-being.
The rapid pace, intense competition, and relentless pressure in these fields can lead to chronic toxic stress that takes a toll on your overall well-being. Our holistic trauma therapy practice understands your unique challenges and is here to help you find balance, reduce the effects of toxic stress, and regain a fulfilling life.
Chronic Toxic Stress: A Silent Intruder
Chronic toxic stress can silently infiltrate your life, affecting not only your mental and emotional well-being but also your physical health. It’s not just about being stressed; it’s about the impact this stress has on your nervous system, relationships, and your ability to be present in your life. This form of stress can negatively impact the nervous system, leaving you in a state of perpetual fight, flight, or freeze.
As trauma therapists specializing in somatic modalities, we recognize the toll this stress can take. It may manifest in anxiety, panic, depression, emotional dysregulation, burnout, and even contribute to physical health issues. The pressure can be overwhelming, affecting your ability to focus, engage, and find balance in your life.
Supporting Professionals
We understand the unique challenges faced by professionals from various fields, including tech professionals, attorneys, educators, therapists, creatives, and more. In today’s fast-paced world, even those dedicated to helping others, nurturing young minds, or expressing their creativity often find themselves overwhelmed by the constant demands of their careers and the pressure to excel.
Supporting Attorneys
For attorneys, the journey to success can be exhilarating, but it can also bring a considerable amount of stress and anxiety. The competitive nature of the field, the challenges of litigation, the relentless pursuit of billable hours, and the pressure to excel can take a toll on well-being and personal life. We understand the specific challenges you face and offer tailored support to help you find balance in your professional and personal life.
Understanding Anxious High Achievers
Many of our clients are anxious high achievers. These are individuals who excel in their careers but often find themselves grappling with excessive stress and anxiety. They strive for perfection, pushing themselves beyond their limits and sacrificing their well-being in the process. Some common traits of anxious high achievers include:
- Perfectionism: Anxious high achievers relentlessly chase perfection, setting unrealistically high standards for themselves. The constant drive to excel can lead to chronic stress and a never-ending sense of never being “good enough.”
- Overcommitment: They often take on more than they can handle, resulting in chronic overwhelm and burnout. The pressure to meet all obligations can be crushing.
- Hyper-Awareness: Anxious high achievers maintain a heightened awareness of their own performance, which can lead to self-criticism and self-doubt. They are acutely attuned to their own shortcomings and may fear judgment from others.
- Work-Life Imbalance: The demands of their careers often overshadow personal life, causing an imbalance between work and well-being.
- Constant Connection: The modern world, with its always-on connectivity and demands for immediate responses, further exacerbates their stress. The relentless pursuit of career success can leave little room for relaxation, joy, and self-care.
