Meaghan Gregg Meg Gregg Counseling therapy for women

You’re tired of feeling like you’re crazy.

It’s like you can never nail down the truth.

“I didn’t say that. You’re being ridiculous.” “Wow, you’re tracking my location? So, what you’re telling me is that you’re paranoid, and you don’t trust me, is that right?” “I can’t take you to the work event. You embarrass me, just like your dad warned me about.” “I work late because I’m trying to provide this life for you. You’re so ungrateful and selfish.” “I should have known that you would turn into your mom.”

And then later, when you’re alone, your thoughts sound like this:

When did this relationship turn into such a nightmare? What am I doing wrong? How am I supposed to fix this? I knew that we weren’t doing great, but this is like, so much. And we have good days, too, so I don’t get it. It’s so confusing, and how could he say that to me? He knows how badly that hurts me to compare me to my mom. Why would someone who loves me say that if it’s not true? Oh god, is he right? Am I turned into my mother?

Sound like you?

Struggling with confusion and not remembering what really happened?

Tired of feeling like you’re constantly defending yourself?

Ready to stop obsessing over their reaction to you?

Wishing that you were in love again, and you were happy together?

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you sort out what’s really going on here.

In 2022, gaslighting was deemed “word of the year.” I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase. I’m sure you are curious about it, because if you weren’t, you wouldn’t be looking at my website. There’s a difference between gaslighting and lying, and gaslighting and arguing. Gaslighting is when the person antagonizing you is denying your reality, and then attacks you. It’s not just - “nope, I didn’t spend $30 on gas”, it’s “Nope, I didn’t spend $30 on gas. I didn’t realize I was living in a police state where you’re going to monitor my every move like a dictator.”

Wait, WTF? What just happened here? I’m just trying to balance the bank account. Am I being invasive? Should I just not ask? Is that too controlling?

And there it is, now you’re not talking about gas money and you’re worrying about your relationship. And you still don’t have an answer about the money!

In therapy, we will work to learn how this happens, why its so easy to get sucked into, and how you can handle it. Or leave it, if that’s what you want.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

You deserve relationships that are fulfilling and a source of safety. You are not crazy or stupid, and how you want to handle it is totally up to you.

What we’ll work on

Imagine a life where…

  • Your relationships feel solid, grounded, open, and encouraging your growth.

  • Work doesn’t feel like a slog to get through, and you enjoy your field again.

  • You’re connected to yourself and trust in your capability to handle life.

  • Your past no longer causes you to second guess yourself.

  • You feel in control of your decisions.

  • You have clarity about what you want and what you don’t want.

  • Your body is at peace, and not full of tension.

  • Your migraines go away.

  • Conversations are about more than just that one relationship in your life.

  • You can be present and feel alive and joy again.

  • Life is more than you half paying attention because you’re running scenarios in your head about what’s going to happen or do different or be different.

Change is possible.

FAQs

  • First of all, if a therapist ever tells you that you have to do something, run.

    I will not force you to do anything. Your relationships are yours, not mine. I'm here to help you clarify what you want, and then act on it. The end goal is you knowing yourself, not the outcome.

  • Nope. Our past informs us, but we focus on the messages we received from trauma, not the actual event. The goal is to help you make choices and be safe and present. We don't have to relive the worst parts to do that.

  • Totally. I don't want you to be in any abusive situation at all, so I'm not going to force any label on this. If you want to be more present, and assured in yourself, therapy can be beneficial. Again, the goal is to get you to where you want to be, and that's our focus.
