Let's Meet Jaden
Jaden always needs to be the best.
He loves his friends, job, and life but feels like this could all disappear at any moment if he’s not constantly giving 100%.
He’s convinced that even the slightest mistake might drive them away forever.
“Unless I exceed their expectations,” he worries, “they won’t recognize my value, and I’ll lose them.”
But the endless struggle to be perfect is taking its toll on him.
Everyone else seems able to breeze through life.
Meanwhile, he has to put much effort into socializing or enjoying the things other people do.
The more he tries to be "normal,” the more isolated he feels.
He wishes he could get some support.
But he’s scared to share his concerns with loved ones lest they think he’s too needy or burdensome.
Instead, he plasters on a smile and pretends everything is fine.
“As long as no one sees that I’m struggling,” he assures himself, “it doesn’t matter how I actually feel.”

Sometimes Jaden wonders if it’s too late to make a change.
“Maybe this is just who I am,” he shrugs in resignation. “And who I’ll always be.”
He pictures the future, where he's still striving for perfection and trying to please everyone while ignoring himself.
He feels trapped, and it scares him. However, changing his life feels even scarier.
There is another way.
It’s possible to not only embrace life’s imperfections but grow from them.
There’s no need to wait for the moon and stars to align before asking for help.
Therapy provides the support, compassion, and guidance to blaze a new path to the future.
