YOU ARE MORE THAN THE HEAVINESS OF WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD.
Therapy for women with political and world event anxiety in NC, SC, & FL
The world feels heavy right now, and you feel all of it.
Between political tension, global crises, social unrest, and the constant stream of upsetting news, your nervous system is working overtime. You are informed, aware, and compassionate, and you are overwhelmed.
Many women feel this way, especially those who care deeply, hold strong values, and carry a sense of responsibility for others. It is easy to lose yourself when you absorb the weight of the world without boundaries to protect your emotional space.
You are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you.
At Climbing Hills Counseling, I help women find steadiness in a world that feels unpredictable while learning to set boundaries that honor their energy and wellbeing.

How therapy works
You can stay connected without burning out.
Therapy gives you the space to understand how living through ongoing political and global stress has shaped your patterns, such as staying hypervigilant, absorbing others’ worries, or feeling responsible for fixing what is far beyond your control.
Together, we will create space for calm, clarity, and grounding as you learn to reduce news-related stress, set healthy media boundaries, regulate your nervous system, stay connected without burning out, process anger, grief, or fear, release the pressure to stay informed every moment, find steadiness in the present, and strengthen your sense of agency.
Through a supportive blend of person centered therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and emotional regulation tools, you will build the skills to stay engaged with the world without losing yourself in it.
You can care deeply without carrying everything alone, stay informed without absorbing every crisis, and protect your peace without abandoning your values.
