MARIYA SMORODINA

On individual sessions I work with: — I can’t turn off my thoughts when I’m trying to fall asleep; — I can’t stand looking at myself in a mirror — I either want to cry or hurt myself; — I’m exhausted from constantly doing things; — I can’t choose the right partner; — I struggle to make decisions, whether it’s in a coffee shop, choosing a carrer or making life choices; — I feel like I’m falling into an abyss and can’t control anything; — I feel frustrated, even with the people I love; — I don’t trust men / women; — I feel guilty for almost everything I do, maybe even for just existing; — I’ve lost something—someone. A Home. A Partner. My sense of direction; — I feel so lonely, and I can’t handle my emotions on my own; — I’m always ‘the bad one’. I feel angry, I don’t like things, I don’t get softer when others do; — I don’t want to leave my house; — I don’t know who I am; — I feel like I’m missing out my own life; — I’m scared — something has changed; — I can’t be alone with myself; — I can’t cry. Even when I want to, the tears just don’t come. On couple sessions I work with: — It feels like we’re stuck in the way we handle our relationship; — They just don’t want to listen to me. When I try to talk, they leave the room, go silent, or say something like, "Let’s talk tomorrow." — There’s a cold distance between us; — We lost a baby/pregnancy, and something changed between us after that; — We keep going in circles with our arguments, repeating the same pattern every time; — They cheated. Is there any chance for us to recover as a couple? — We’re having a baby. We’re excited but also scared; — They keep pushing me to talk, and it’s overwhelming. I don’t know how to explain that I need more space; — We’re a couple, but it feels like we’re just roommates sharing an apartment. Please remember that your feelings are unique, and it's natural to have doubts, even if you read something that resonates with you. That’s why it’s always helpful to send me a message.
