Is Self-Help Helping... Or Are You Just Scrolling?

You know that feeling. You’ve had a rough day, and your mind is spinning. Maybe it’s anxiety keeping you up at night. Or guilt creeping in when you try to relax. Or that nagging feeling that you’re just... not enough. So, what do you do?

You reach for your phone. Because somewhere out there, there must be a quick fix, right? A book, a YouTube video, a motivational post on Instagram telling you that you’re a warrior and everything happens for a reason.

But... does it?

How much time have you spent scrolling, reading, watching—hoping for that “aha!” moment that never quite comes? Can you even pinpoint what you're working on anymore?

Or is it just the numbing effect of mindlessly consuming content that leaves you feeling temporarily better, but no closer to actually changing anything?

The Rabbit Hole of Self-Help

Let’s be honest—self-help content can be like falling into a rabbit hole. One minute you’re watching a video on “10 Ways to Boost Confidence,” and three hours later, you’re deep in a thread about how to manifest your dream life by drinking moon water.

Sure, some of it sounds great. Some of it even makes sense. But has any of it truly changed how you feel about yourself?

• Are you feeling less anxious?

• Do your relationships feel healthier, more connected?

• Have you stopped second-guessing every decision, or wondering why you keep attracting the same kind of partner?

  
  

Or are you just... stuck?

Why Therapy with Me Is Different

Here’s the thing: Therapy isn’t another “10 Ways to Feel Better” list. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a commitment—a relationship with someone who isn’t just giving you information, but helping you experience change.

When we work together in therapy, I’m not just throwing tips and tricks at you. I’m paying attention. To your words, yes, but also to what’s underneath them. The patterns in your thinking. The subtle ways you might be holding yourself back. The themes that show up again and again in your relationships, your self-talk, your choices.

And unlike a YouTube algorithm, I know when to pause. When to dig deeper. When to challenge you, and when to simply hold space for you to feel.

Therapy isn’t about drowning in more information—it’s about transformation.

The Relationship That Heals

Think of therapy as a relationship. One where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or scroll past your feelings. It’s a space where your growth is the priority. Where you’re seen, heard, and understood in a way that self-help content simply can’t offer.

Because let’s face it—an Instagram post might make you feel seen for a moment. But it doesn’t know your story. It can’t ask the right questions at the right time. It can’t sit with you in the discomfort and help you work through it, instead of just distracting you from it.

Reflect on This

• How many hours have you spent consuming self-help content this week?

• How much of it has actually helped you feel more confident, less anxious, or more fulfilled?

• If all the books, videos, and posts worked, why do you still feel like something’s missing?

  
  

You Worth More

You don’t have to figure this out alone. You don’t have to keep scrolling, searching, hoping that the next post will finally make everything click.

Therapy with me will offer something deeper.

It’s a chance to stop wasting precious time on quick fixes and start investing in lasting change.

To move from feeling stuck to feeling seen. From endless searching to real growth.

Let’s talk.

You’ve already taken the first step by reading this far. Imagine what could happen if you took the next one. Call me, text me, send an email—I’ll be here, ready to help you stop scrolling and start living.

Because you deserve more than a fleeting sense of relief. You're worth a life that feels whole.

Step into your own story.

• If you could stop scrolling and searching for answers, what would you most want to focus on instead?

• What’s one thing you’ve been avoiding because it feels too uncomfortable or uncertain? How might facing it change your life?
