Life Therapy for this case:

It's been 1.5 years since a major turning point in my life. After the initial highs and the afterglow faded, I found myself grappling with questions about what I want to do, who I want to be, who my people are, and what my place is in society. I didn’t receive any ready-made revelations or answers. Instead, I was left with a strong, piercing longing for a different kind of life — a slower life, with less chaos, hurt, and numbness, and more authenticity, more attunement to my body and heart, and more meaning.

I was clueless about where to start, what it meant, where to go, what to do, or who to talk to. It was an intensely lonely place. I tried to explain this to my husband, but it’s hard to convey that this feeling, this sense of misplacement, wasn’t just a fleeting thought, but something profound and deep-seated — in my bones, my essence, my core.

That moment of change opened up a void, and over the past year, I’ve been trying to figure out how to fill it — with positive experiences, tranquility, movement, and nature."
