You may want to come to therapy because you do not feel quite like yourself.
You might feel numb, distant, stuck, flat, overwhelmed, or unsure what you really feel or need. Life may look manageable on the outside, but inside there may be a sense of disconnection, confusion or quiet heaviness.
This can be difficult to explain, especially when nothing appears obviously “wrong”.
Ren offers online therapy for feeling disconnected from yourself.

Therapy can offer a space to gently reconnect with yourself.
Together, we can explore what feels distant, hidden or difficult to name. We can begin to notice your feelings, needs, patterns and inner experiences with care and curiosity.
Gestalt Therapy can be particularly helpful for this, as it supports present-moment awareness. Like seeing pictures within pictures, it can help bring into focus what may have been sitting quietly in the background.
Feeling disconnected can happen for many reasons. It may be linked to stress, anxiety, low mood, people-pleasing, past experiences, relationship patterns, or simply spending a long time adapting to what others needed from you.
For some people, words are not always enough. Creative or art-based exploration can offer another way to express feelings, experiences or patterns that are hard to put into language.
This does not require artistic skill. It is simply another way of noticing and exploring what may be happening inside.
