As someone working in New York, you know how to dream big, set goals, and achieve them; you know how others measure success and you know how to work your way through that system to move up the ladder. Yet somehow, something still feels off. You continue to accomplish the next milestone, assuming that will be the one that brings fulfillment, but fulfillment never comes.
The truth is, fulfillment never comes because you’re constantly moving goal posts and coming up with new ways to prove your worth. Instead of taking breaks and celebrating your wins, you push yourself even harder. You believe contentment breeds averageness so you wind up suspended in a cycle of hustle and bustle, drowning in your own ambition. Although you continue to achieve your goals, the self-imposed pressure to continuously perform is starting to weigh on you.
At Uncover Mental Health Counseling in NYC, we want you to know it doesn’t have to be that way. Our therapists in NYC help high achievers who struggle with perpetual dissatisfaction cultivate fulfilling lives – without being more, having more, or doing more. We believe that these struggles often trace back to early childhood development and outdated social systems that you have subconsciously internalized.
