Trauma reshapes the lens you look through. But with healing, compassion, and the right tools, that lens can change again.

How do I know if I’m in a relationship with a narcissist?
Sometimes the answer shows up in how you feel more than what they say. If you’re constantly doubting yourself, apologizing for things you didn’t do, or feeling unheard and emotionally drained, those are signs something deeper is wrong. Narcissistic partners often twist the truth, make everything about them, and leave you questioning your worth. A healthy relationship should make you feel safe, valued, and seen—not small or confused. Trust your feelings; they’re often the first signal that something isn’t right.

How to Handle Disagreement in a Relationship
Every couple argues—but what truly matters is how you navigate those moments. Disagreements don’t mean your relationship is broken; they’re opportunities to understand each other more deeply. Slow down, listen with intention, and speak from honesty instead of defensiveness. When you focus on understanding, not winning, you create safety, trust, and connection. The right communication can turn conflict into growth, and distance into closeness.

The biggest communication obstacles in relationships aren’t a lack of love—they’re unspoken worries, misunderstandings, and emotional walls.

What are our biggest communication obstacles?
For many couples, it’s not the lack of love that creates distance—it’s the unspoken worries, misunderstood intentions, and emotional walls that slowly build over time. We struggle when we don’t feel heard, when we react instead of respond, or when we shut down to avoid conflict.

But the truth is, better communication isn’t about talking more—it’s about understanding yourself, your triggers, and your partner on a deeper level.
When we learn to pause, listen with empathy, and express our needs clearly, relationships shift. Trust rebuilds. Emotional safety returns. Connection grows again.

If you’re ready to strengthen communication and rebuild trust in your relationship, The Relationship Repair Guide can help.
It’s a practical, gentle roadmap for couples who want to heal, reconnect, and communicate in a healthier way.

Have you ever asked yourself “Why do I keep doing things I regret?

Why We Act Before We Think: The Science Behind Impulsivity

Have you ever asked yourself “Why do I keep doing things I regret?” — whether it’s snapping in anger, overspending, binge eating, or falling into old habits?
Science shows it’s not just about “self-control.” It’s about how your brain, hormones, and genetics work together.

A new review published in The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery reveals:

Impulsivity is deeply rooted in brain biology — areas like the prefrontal cortex and limbic system control decision-making and emotions.

Hormones such as cortisol (stress), ghrelin (hunger), and testosterone influence how impulsively we react.

Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin — and even certain genes — shape our drive for instant rewards.

Men and women experience impulsivity differently due to hormonal and brain differences.

Understanding this means impulsive actions aren’t just “bad choices.” They’re biological patterns that can be rewired with the right tools and guidance.

At Impulsivity, we use science-based strategies to help people break free from destructive cycles, rebuild emotional control, and strengthen relationships.

Because healing starts with understanding how your mind really works. 💙

The Body Remembers What the Mind Tries to Forget

Trauma isn’t just a memory—it’s an experience that lives in the body. When we go through overwhelming stress or emotional pain, our nervous system learns to stay on alert, even long after the danger has passed. This is why some people feel anxious, reactive, or shut down without understanding why.

The truth is, the body keeps score. It stores emotions, tension, and unprocessed memories as a form of protection. But healing begins when we learn to listen—to notice how our body responds, where it tightens, and what it’s trying to say.

Somatic practices, mindfulness, and emotional awareness help us reconnect with our bodies, allowing release, calm, and true regulation to begin. The body doesn’t betray us—it’s simply waiting for us to listen.

It doesn't always start with a fight.
It starts with a tiny want.

You wish they'd text first.
You hope they’d notice when you’re quiet.
You want them to ask how your day really was, not just out of habit.

But you don’t say anything.
Because it’s small.
Because it feels silly.
Because you don’t want to seem needy.

So you tuck it away.
And then another.
And another.

Until one day, you’re not sure why you feel distant.
Why you’re irritated by the way they chew.
Why you’re suddenly craving space.

It wasn’t the big things.
It was the quiet accumulation of tiny unmet wants.

Love doesn’t unravel loudly.
It frays in silence.

So speak the small things.
Ask for the hug.
Say you need the check-in.
Let the tiny wants be seen—before they take over 🥀

There’s a moment when love shifts = from reaching out to protecting your own heart. I didn’t delete those messages because I stopped caring. I deleted them because I finally understood that love isn’t always about being heard. Sometimes, it’s about honoring the silence that follows when someone stops listening 🍂

In relationships, communication isn’t just about speaking; it’s about feeling safe enough to be heard. When that safety fades, even love begins to hesitate. Emotional withdrawal, message avoidance, and hesitation to reach out are often signs of deeper relational wounds; ones that can be healed, not ignored. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck between wanting to reconnect and fearing rejection, you’re not alone. Many couples experience this silent tension, where love still exists but communication breaks down.

That’s why the Relationship Repair course and book were created. To help couples rebuild trust, restore emotional safety, and learn how to speak and listen with intention. Because healing doesn’t start with silence. It starts with understanding. Explore them here: https://bit.ly/ImpulsivityTest

Happy World Mental Health Day 🤍

Mental health doesn’t live in isolation. It breathes between people. In 2025, we’re finally naming the invisible wounds: emotional neglect, coercive control, relational trauma.

Healing begins in safe connection.
In the partner who listens without fixing.
In the friend who holds space for your silence.
In the therapist who helps you rewrite the story.
Love isn’t the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of repair.

Mental health is relational. Let’s build bonds that heal💏
