Therapy isn’t always clarity and relief. Sometimes it’s silence, discomfort, and emotional hangovers.

If this feels familiar, you’re not doing it wrong. Healing isn’t linear. 🤍✨

Feeling like the world is unreal, foggy, or distant can be unsettling. Derealization is a common nervous system response to stress, anxiety, or overwhelm. It’s not a sign that you’re losing touch with reality.

Understanding what’s happening in your body and brain can be the first step toward feeling grounded again 💛

Trauma is not stored like an ordinary memory. It lives in the body and nervous system, often showing up as sensations, emotions, or reactions that feel present rather than in the past. 🧠💛�
Therapy supports healing by helping integrate these experiences, increase regulation, and build safety over time. You do not have to carry this alone. 🌱✨

Stress can narrow our window of tolerance, making emotions feel bigger and regulation harder. This is a normal nervous system response, not a setback or failure. 🌿🧠

With support, compassion, and the right tools, the window can expand again. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Crucible Approach Therapy, developed by Dr. David Schnarch, helps couples grow through differentiation, staying connected while maintaining self-hood. It integrates intimacy and relationship work and encourages partners to face conflict and discomfort with curiosity and strength.

This isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about building capacity for mature, passionate, and authentic connection. 💛

Progress with CPTSD doesn’t always show up as big “feel good” moments. Instead, it appears in the subtle shifts, noticing triggers earlier, practicing compassion for yourself, setting boundaries, and finding small moments of regulation.

These quieter signs are real progress.ďż˝
Healing isn’t linear, and that’s okay. 💛

Informed consent is more than paperwork, it’s a respectful conversation that helps you understand therapy, your options, and your rights. It’s an essential part of ethical, collaborative care. Questions about any part of the process are always welcome. 💬

Are you an overfunctioner? 🤔
Some of us naturally step in to help others, especially when anxiety spikes. However, doing too much can actually hinder personal growth and create unhealthy dynamics in relationships.

Learning to recognize overfunctioning helps us set boundaries, support autonomy, and build resilience in ourselves and others. đź’›

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck is often your nervous system responding to stress, not a personal failure.

Therapy can help you understand your unique patterns and develop practical, body-based strategies to support regulation. 🤍
