Dontea’ Mitchell-Hunter
Marriage & Family Therapist -
You want to break-free from your heartbreaking on-and-off again relationship and discover who you authentically are, not who others want you to be, but you know you can’t do it alone. I love working with clients to re-identify who they are post-breakup and who they want to be now. The weight of perfectionism, constant people-pleasing, anxiety, the pressure to match the expectations of others, and feeling the need to change yourself for your partner can lead to feeling like you’re never good enough or that you’re too much for others. Over time it can make you start to judge yourself. Or worse, you constantly say hurtful things about yourself. You start doubting that you’ll be successful, find happiness or love. You might even believe that your self-confidence has left and that you’ll be mediocre forever.
Because I’ve gone through this too, I know the work it takes to get out. Together, we can explore what it means to self-love, accept yourself, and re-identify who you are based on your personal values and beliefs and not the beliefs of someone else. Loving yourself is hard to do when we spend so much time trying to better ourselves for the other.
In reality, the best relationships are the ones where you can be true to yourself, your values, and your core beliefs. I get so excited to help my client’s re-identify who they are post-breakup and who they want to be now. Being able to break-free from the pressures can re-create happiness, self-worth, self-love, confidence and overall empowerment.
