This is an advertisement from Better Help. I have no social battery, none, zero.

Someone at work or someone who recently walked out of my womb

is speaking to me from before I opened my eyes and then constantly for the next 18 hours all day every single day.

It's important to make time for friends though and date nights.

My husband definitely likes to be around other adults.

Luckily we're 40 and we have boundaries that prevent us from saying yes to every

gathering and spreading ourselves too thin. We have to be mindful about that because it's easy to ignore

our social battery, especially with things picking up after the winter.

Oh, come to the pub after work and will stand with pints in the street.

Ugh, so British, so tempting.

But you've got to know the right amount of socializing for you.

Maybe you thrive around other people or maybe you need some more alone time.

Therapy can give you the self-awareness to build a social life that doesn't drain your battery.

Or maybe like Bobby and me you're in a

partnership with different types of social batteries and you need to find a

compromise on how to recharge both. Therapy could surprise you even if you don't

think you need it.

Always handy to talk things through with a neutral third party, a professional who can remind

you how to set the boundaries you know you need.

Therapy empowers you to be the best version of yourself.
