|
|
User: I can’t hear my own voice when it’s time to pick a major—everyone’s advice drowns me out. |

|
User: I feel it's really hard for me to be a good parent. I am trying hard to be patient but sometimes my child just make me mad all the time. |
|
|
Counselor: Being parent is always hard especially for the first time—what's bothering you most, if any?Parenting slip‑ups make me cringe, for example I shout at my child when he spins the plants; how to regain balance? |
|
|
User: I am really bad at making decisions. I can't believe why I choose to date a guy that's completely irrespective of my boundaries. |
|
|
Counselor: No surprise you will feel it's a bad decision and it happens when you don't know a person for long—but you just mention you think you are generally bad at making decisions.

|
|
Counselor: That’s important to notice. What might help you feel a little more anchored before putting your work out there? |
|
|
User: I still hesitate to share things because I can’t stop thinking about a project that went badly last year. |
|
|
Counselor: That kind of experience can really stay with you. Have you tried anything to ease that weight when it comes up? |
|
|
User: Mostly I just avoid putting myself out there again. |
|
|
Counselor: That makes sense as a form of protection. What might it look like to meet that memory with a bit more softness? |
|
|
User: I went to the gym yesterday and felt soaware of my body—I couldn’t focus on anything else. |
|
|

|
|
Counselor: That’s a lot to carry. What might help you offer yourself even a little kindness in those moments? |
|
|
User: There are parts of my past story I’ve never shared, and it makes me hold back—especially when I’m putting myself out there. |
|
|
Counselor: That’s a lot to hold alone. What kind of support would feel safe right now? |
|
|
User: I’m not sure. I’ve kept quiet about it for so long that even thinking about it feels vulnerable. |
|
|
Counselor: That’s completely valid. What might it look like to begin approaching those memories with care, rather than fear? |
|
|
User: I can be surrounded by people and still feel completely unseen—like I’m not really there. |

|
|
User: I’ve been keeping up with friends over video calls, but they just don’t fill the same space. |
|
|
Counselor: That makes a lot of sense. Have you found anything that helps ease that sense of distance? |
|
|
User: After I hang up with my family, the apartment feels even quieter than before. |
|
|
Counselor: That shift can be hard—would it help to explore how you’re holding that quiet?After family calls, the silence feels even heavier—what might help me sit with it more gently? |
|
|
User: I scroll through group chats and barely reply—it’s like I’m there but not really part of it. |
|
|
Counselor: Thanks for sharing that. What kind of support might ease that sense of disconnection right now? |
|
|
User: Every time I open social media, it’s photos of hangouts I wasn’t part of—it stings more than I want to admit. |
|

|
User: In my chest, I think. It feels soft, open. |
|
|
Counselor: Beautiful. What might help you stay connected to that feeling gently? |
|
|
User: Some days I just sit and stare—I don’t even realize how much time has passed. |
|
|
Counselor: That sounds really heavy. Have you noticed when it tends to hit the hardest? |
|
|
User: Usually late afternoon. That’s when everything just feels stuck. |
|
|
Counselor: That’s an important observation—what might a gentle first step look like from there? |
|
|
User: Lately it feels like nothing ahead really excites me—I can’t even imagine things getting better. |
|
|
Counselor: That’s a hard place to be. What have you been reaching for when those thoughts show up? |
|
|
User: Mostly just distraction, but it doesn’t help much. |
|
|
Counselor: Makes sense. What would it be like to shift the scenery, even a little? |

|
|
Counselor: That sounds exhausting—have you found anything that helps you reconnect to meaning, even a little? |
|
|
User: Not really. I just keep my head down and push through. |
|
|
Counselor: That’s a lot to hold. What’s one small thing that might feel different to try this week?I’ve lost all motivation in work—what’s a gentle first step I can take? |
|
|
|
|
|
User: Lately it feels like every time I try to plan something, it falls apart before it even begins. |
|
|
Counselor: That must be really disheartening—would it help to explore how that’s been affecting you day to day? |
|
|
User: I think I’ve stopped looking forward to things at all. |
|
|
Counselor: That kind of numbness can be heavy. What’s one small way we might gently start to reconnect with something that once brought you joy? |
|
|
User: I’ve stopped making plans because they never seem to work out—it’s like what’s the point. |
|
|
Counselor: I’m really glad you named that. Has anything at all brought a sense of relief, even briefly? |
|
|
User: Not really. Even simple tasks feel empty. |
|
|
Counselor: That can be so heavy to carry. What’s one small practice that might help you feel a bit more alive, even for a moment? |
|
|
User: Every time I read the news, it’s another crisis—climate, conflict, injustice. It makes everything I do feel so small. |

Counselor: That’s a lot to hold. Where do you feel that sense of overwhelm most in your body? |
|
|
User: In my stomach—it sinks every time I scroll. |
|
|
Counselor: Thank you for noticing that. What might help you stay grounded when the world feels like too much? |
|
|
User: I’ve been waking up and just lying there, not sure what the point of the day is. |
|
|
Counselor: That sounds really hard—would it feel okay to talk through what mornings have been like lately? |
|
|
User: They feel blank. Like I’m moving through fog before anything even begins. |
|
|
Counselor: That fog can be so real. What’s one small thing that might bring a hint of clarity or care into the start of your day? |
|
|
User: I just got promoted, and part of me is thrilled—but another part is panicking. |
|
|
Counselor: That mix makes a lot of sense. Have you noticed when the dread tends to creep in? |
|
|
User: Usually at night, when my brain starts spinning about everything I don’t know yet. |
|
|
Counselor: That sounds intense. What might help you hold both excitement and fear without getting pulled under? |
|
|
User: Graduation’s coming up, and I can’t tell if I’m more excited or heartbroken to be leaving. |
|
|
Counselor: I’m really glad you shared that—it’s such a full moment. Have you noticed anything that’s helped ease the emotional swings? |
|
|
User: A few deep breaths help sometimes, but mostly I just feel scattered. |
|
|
