You are not behind.
Nothing is chasing you in here.
There is no queue.
No productivity clock.
No performance.
Just a body that has been holding too much for too long.
You don’t need insight right now.
You don’t need a breakthrough.
You need permission to stop bracing.
Sit.
Let your shoulders drop the way they do when no one is watching.
Notice what happens when you don’t have to hold anyone else.
This room is not empty.
It is full of quiet witnesses.
Other therapists have stood exactly where you are standing.
Exhausted.
Still caring.
Still trying.
You are not broken.
You are overextended.
That is a solvable problem.
Not tonight.
Not in this moment.
Tonight is for returning to your body.
If all you do here is breathe slower than you did five minutes ago,
the page worked.
Nothing else is required.
🌿
Stay as long as you need.
