Ever felt triggered by something objectively small in your relationship? Like your reaction is bigger than the situation? Feels confusing, right?

This might be a nervous system response, not a relationship failure.

If you grew up with emotional neglect, inconsistent care, or unsafe dynamics, your body learns to stay on high alert for any indication of the same. So, in adulthood, your partner **seemingly** pulling away or expressing frustration can feel like a threat to the safety of the relationship or even your own personal safety…even if they mean no harm.

You are not **too sensitive**. Your attachment system is trying to protect you from hurt.

This is what trauma informed therapy can help you unpack. Learning to regulate your emotions, differentiate past from present and communicate more clearly.

It’s a process! Committing to this work requires being a “forever student” - which is sort of my favourite thing about it. Why would we ever want to stop learning and growing? But I didn’t expect exactly how much unlearning would also be involved.

Fellow therapists - what else have you found you’ve had to unlearn? Expectations you’ve had to adjust? Let me know ☺️

Ever feel like you’re at war with yourself? Like one part of you wants to rest but another part screams “BE PRODUCTIVE!”. Or one part wants more social connection but another part says “don’t risk it, it’s not worth the possible rejection”?

Of course you do - you’re a human. We are beautiful, complex and often confusing beings full of conflicting thoughts and emotions.

“Parts work” in therapy explores these different inner parts - the overachiever, the avoider, the scared kid, the people pleaser, the shutdown part - and gets curious about what they’re trying to achieve (hint: it most often comes from a protective place).

Instead of trying to get rid of them, we learn how to listen, respond and lead from a sense of self that is grounded in our own values.

Parts work helps to increase understanding and compassion of these various parts of ourselves - regardless of how much we may like or *dislike* them. It’s from this place of self compassion that real change can happen.

Ever wondered why your therapist is constantly asking you to label your emotions? It’s not just some random (and sometimes annoying…I know) way we fill the time. There’s a real, brain based, scientific reason behind it.

When you label how you’re feeling, your nervous system can begin to regulate. This simple tool builds emotional awareness, improves self regulation and helps you respond instead of react.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by emotion (**cough** literally all of us **cough**), save this post and remember why it is so important to put words to our feelings.

Hello July readers!!! This month’s book recommendation is “No Bad Parts” by the creator of the Internal Family Systems branch of therapy, Richard Schwartz.

This book offers an accessible and deeply validating exploration of the self for anyone looking to further understand all the different parts of themselves. IFS teaches us to relate to our inner experiences and contradictions with compassion - to see them as parts of ourselves that deserve curiosity and care.

None of our parts are bad - they developed for a reason, often to help us survive. I’d especially recommend this one to anyone doing trauma work, feeling stuck in patterns or wanting a more compassionate lens for personal growth.

Have you read this one? What did you think?

I’m admittedly a bit of a Bruce Perry fan girly so I may be biased…but this book is 👩🏼‍🍳💋

Deeply informative and emotionally powerful, “What happened to you?” offers insights into the impact of childhood trauma in a way that feels ultimately hopeful.

Through a mix of neuroscience, personal stories, and real world applications, “What happened to you?” illustrates how early experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms while emphasizing the brain’s ability to heal with the right support.

Here this Valentine’s Day to MSSA - make stability sexy again.

What do I mean? If you grew up in a chaotic household, or have a history of tumultuous relationships…your nervous system might confuse instability with excitement. The highs and lows can feel *familiar* - even addictive - because your body has learned to equate unpredictability with love. But real connection isn’t about adrenaline; it’s about safety, trust, and ease.

So, say it with me now…

*stability is sexy*
*safety is sexy*
*security is sexy*

MSSA! 💋

We’ve all heard it before - exercise is good for anxiety! Almost 100% of you who responded to my poll from the other day agreed. But have you ever wondered WHY?

Allow me to nerd out for a moment 🏃🏼‍♀️🧠

Exercise…
💪🏻 lowers cortisol
💪🏻 boosts serotonin and dopamine
💪🏻 increases GABA which calms the nervous system
💪🏻 helps familiarize the body with the physical sensations of anxiety (making them less scary!)
💪🏻 releases stored tension
💪🏻 activates the relaxation response
💪🏻 improves sleep
💪🏻 distracts from anxious thoughts and worry cycles
💪🏻 builds resilience to stress over time

You don’t need a fancy home gym or expensive membership to reap these benefits. Try taking a brisk walk around the block or doing at an home yoga class via YouTube. It doesn’t matter how you move (so long as you do it safely).

How has regular exercise or physical movement supported your mental health journey? Lemme know below!
