When Everything Feels Like Your Job: Emmalee Bierly in HuffPost

If you live with anxiety, you probably carry a quiet job description no one gave you: keep everyone around you happy, comfortable, and okay.

Read the full article on HuffPost, and if the "responsible for everyone" feeling sounds familiar, our therapists in Philadelphia, West Chester, and online help clients untangle it every day.
