Therapy is a process. Dr. Kimberly Mercuri explains why healing isn't a straight line.

Feeling anxious at work? You’re not alone but anxiety doesn’t have to control you. The key is spotting the signs early (like avoidance, overthinking or unhealthy coping), reframing anxious thoughts, and taking small daily steps outside your comfort zone. Anxiety isn’t always the enemy when managed well, it can actually fuel growth and resilience.

Grief isn’t only about death.

It’s the human response to loss, any loss. From the end of a relationship, to losing a job, to changes in health or identity, grief can take many forms.

The challenge is, we often don’t recognise these losses as grief. Instead, we downplay them in ourselves and in others, leaving much of this pain invisible and unsupported.

Naming and acknowledging these “other” losses is key to showing up for each other in life’s hardest moments.

Setting boundaries in relationships involves understanding your limits, clearly communicating them using “I” statements, being consistent, and respecting others’ boundaries. Healthy boundaries protect your physical and emotional well-being, foster mutual respect, and empower you to say “no” without guilt, ultimately creating a balanced and fulfilling relationship.

“I just want my kids to be happy.”
It’s a phrase we hear often. But as points out, making happiness the ultimate goal can unintentionally teach children to fear discomfort and in turn, weaken their resilience when life gets hard.

The truth is, life is difficult. Parenting isn’t about shielding kids from every challenge; it’s about helping them develop the tools to navigate those challenges with confidence, security, and self-belief.

At DKM, we see this every day in our work with families: the importance of boundaries, emotional validation, and modelling coping strategies. These build the foundation for children to become not just “happy,” but resilient, adaptive, and prepared for the realities of adulthood.

We all fall into cycles, patterns shaped by past experiences that can harm ourselves and others. Breaking them is hard but possible, with conviction (believing you deserve more), compassion (understanding where the patterns come from), and courage (making small, different choices). With these, change becomes achievable, one step at a time. Via

A timely reminder worth sharing. Asking “Are you OK?” can change a life. Here are 4 simple steps:

1. Ask: Start the conversation with care and curiosity.
2. Listen: Give them your full attention, without judgement.
3. Encourage action: Talk about what might help, and suggest support if needed.
4. Check in: Follow up in the days or weeks ahead.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest conversation that makes the biggest difference. 💛

Progress isn’t always obvious. Some days feel repetitive, like nothing is shifting. But often, change is happening in the background gradually, quietly, and consistently.

If today feels flat or frustrating, that’s okay. Progress isn’t a straight line, and growth isn’t always visible in the moment.

What matters is showing up, even in small ways.

Be patient with yourself. The work you’re doing matters even when it doesn’t feel like it.

✨ Welcome to Little Big Clothing Company ✨
Thoughtfully designed clothing and accessories for children made with heart, play, and just the right amount of chaos.

Founded by Dr. Kimberly Mercuri, psychologist and founder of DKM Psychology, Little Big was born from a deep love of childhood in all its messy, magical glory and a desire to bring that spirit into everyday life through thoughtful, meaningful design.

You don’t need to be a parent to be part of our world.
We’re building a community that values meaning over mass production, big feelings, wild imaginations, and the freedom to be uniquely you.

🧡 Join the Little Big crew where childhood is celebrated, and your inner child is always welcome.
