Find Balance When You’re Always On Edge—or Numb

Whether you’re constantly tense, quick to react, or checked out just to cope, it’s exhausting to feel like you're stuck in fight-or-freeze mode. At Iroko Health, we help you understand what’s driving these patterns and build more calm, choice, and connection in your day-to-day life.

You snap without meaning to. You shut down in conversations that matter. Or maybe you feel like you’re always “on”—alert, tense, and bracing for something to go wrong. When you're not overreacting, you're under-feeling—going numb just to get through it all. It might seem like you’re just being dramatic or lazy, but deep down, you know something’s out of balance. These aren’t random mood swings. They're signs that your nervous system is overloaded—and doing everything it can to protect you. We can help you reset, so you can respond with intention instead of running on autopilot.

What counselling looks like if you're on edge

A supportive space to explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and build tools to feel more in control.

01
Understand Your Triggers and Patterns

We help you recognize what sets off your fight, flight, or freeze responses—and why. Together, we trace the emotional build-up and unspoken stressors that keep pushing you past your limits.

02
Build Safety and Regulation

Through calming techniques and grounded reflection, we help you feel safer in your body and more in control of how you respond. You’ll learn how to pause, reset, and access calm even in the middle of stress.

03
Reconnect with Yourself and Others

We work on ways to stay present in tough moments—without shutting down or spiraling. Over time, you’ll feel more capable of handling emotions, setting boundaries, and showing up in relationships without feeling overwhelmed or checked out.
