Sepideh Garmroudi, Trauma & Relationship Therapist

For some people, being “the strong one” becomes a way of coping with stress, uncertainty, or past experiences of having to manage things alone.

Over time, this can make it harder to recognize emotional exhaustion, acknowledge personal needs, or reach out for support.

Being capable doesn’t mean you’re unaffected by what you carry.
