It’s easy to lean on habits that numb the hard stuff:

drinking, people-pleasing, endless scrolling, overworking.

At first, they make life feel manageable. But over time, these coping strategies:

Take control of your life instead of you

Give a false sense of connection

Leave you feeling more anxious, disconnected, and stuck

​

Sound familiar? You’re not weak—you’re human.

And there is a better way forward.
