Back from holidays and noticing how even re-entry takes its own kind of energy. Like a plant finding its rhythm again after being repotted, it takes a little time to root in and stretch upward.

If you’re feeling the same—worn out, not quite settled—you’re not alone. Let’s give ourselves permission to slow down and ease into the week, one breath, one step at a time. 🌱

This is July☀️ A month of demo days and dog snuggles, BMX tracks and therapy talks, family moments and more dust than progress.

We didn’t finish the house yet, but we showed up—for each other, for our clients, and for the wild, beautiful in-between.

Still blooming—even when the handrails are missing. As Rumi says... "There is tension in the boom."

In one session, we transformed an inner critic's voice into Draco Malfoy's, and the absurdity made the client laugh and eventually disregard its negative comments that lasted and created space for new thoughts to be learned. Sometimes, a dash of humor can effectively neutralize harmful thoughts.

However, it's a core belief, it could stem from a deeper wound and is resistant to change, that's where EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and other forms of therapy can be beneficial.

Have you tried something outside of the box for challenging the inner critic? Saying no out loud, getting silly, distraction, or something entirely different?
