From "Not Enough" to I am Enough
Your Telehealth Therapist in Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport, TN
Do you wish for a life free from pressure, but instead find yourself:
- Driven by the need to be perfect in all you try?
- Feel like you always have to say "yes"?
- Drained by the constant pursuit of the "right" choice? And ultimately left feeling exhausted and still "never enough"?
Right now, it probably feels like you're always trying too hard in every part of your life. Your relationships might feel surface-level because you're always focused on pleasing others, leaving you feeling unseen. Work can feel like an endless list where you never quite meet the mark. You might often feel anxious and doubt yourself, like you're always falling short. Even with loved ones, the pressure to be "perfect" can steal your joy. It's a draining cycle that affects your connections, self-worth, and overall enjoyment of life.
Picture this: you achieve a goal at work, but instead of feeling proud, your first thought is what you need to do next, or how it could have been better. In your relationships, you might constantly seek validation, but even when you receive it, a nagging doubt lingers that it's not genuine or enough. You might pour energy into hobbies or passions, yet the joy is fleeting because you're already focused on how to improve or reach the next level. This feeling of "never enough" can cast a shadow over your successes, making it hard to truly celebrate your wins. It can also fuel a constant drive for more; more achievements, more approval, more "perfect" outcomes, leaving you perpetually chasing a finish line that keeps moving further away, and ultimately feeling unfulfilled despite your efforts.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way
Hi, I'm Hunter Cook, and I specialize in therapy for perfectionistic, people-pleasing adults who feel “never enough,” focusing on anxiety, stress, and trauma. The goal is to stop feeling burned out, angry, disconnected, and wondering who you are, leading to less stress, more connection, and being more present in your life. I provide supportive and empathetic treatment while providing challenges to push you to confront the difficult parts of life. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling less burdened by expectations, a sense of control over their choices and lives, and an optimistic, forward-looking perspective.
