Why the Capacity Trap Keeps You Stuck

The Capacity Trap happens when survival mode feels normal. You're functioning — but you're not flourishing. Your mind and body have adapted to pressure, but that's not sustainable. I created this assessment because you don't have to wait for a breakdown to start your restoration. — Melanie Petaway, M.Ed., LPC-S

  • You Are in the Right Place

    You found this place for a reason. Maybe you are exhausted. Maybe you have been strong for so long that you have forgotten what it feels like to rest. The lotus does not bloom in spite of the mud — it blooms because of it. Your struggle is not a setback. It is the ground your healing grows from. — Melanie
