FAQ Friday!

It’s normal to have questions about therapy — here are a few common ones!

Q: What if I don’t “click” with my therapist?
It’s okay! Feeling safe and understood is key — finding the right fit matters more than forcing it.

Q: How often should I come?
It depends on your needs. Many start weekly, then adjust as progress happens.

Q: Will therapy “fix” me?
Therapy isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about understanding yourself, building skills, and feeling more connected — to yourself and those around you.

Fights don’t always happen about what you think they do — most repeated arguments are about unmet needs, old patterns, and nervous system responses. 💛

It’s normal to feel stuck in loops, but you can shift the pattern and reconnect with your partner. Small awareness + intentional steps can make a big difference. 🌿

Sometimes being a therapist means saying,
“Oh… that’s a great point. I should probably do that too.” 😅

Therapy isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about doing the work alongside others.
We teach what we’re still learning, hold space we also need, and find healing in connection. 💛

Here’s to being a human and a helper — both can exist beautifully together.

These are protective responses — not personality flaws.
Your body’s always trying to keep you safe, even when it doesn’t feel that way.

The first step is noticing your patterns with compassion, not judgment.

Conflict doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re human.
What matters most is how you repair.

Repair isn’t about fixing everything perfectly.
It’s about calming your body, listening with empathy, taking responsibility, and choosing to reconnect.

Because healthy relationships aren’t the ones without conflict —
they’re the ones where both people say, “Let’s find our way back to each other.” 💛

Setting boundaries isn’t easy — and around the holidays, it can feel even harder.

Many of us struggle with boundaries because we were taught that saying no means being selfish, unkind, or ungrateful.
We fear conflict, rejection, or disappointing the people we care about most.
And during times like Thanksgiving — when it’s “supposed” to be family time — that pressure can grow even stronger.

But here’s the truth:
You can love your family and say no.
You can be thankful and choose rest.
You can value connection and still protect your peace.

Understanding why boundaries feel hard is the first step toward setting them with more compassion — both for yourself and others.

Have you ever noticed a reaction that feels bigger than the moment?

Sometimes, that intense feeling comes from your inner child — the part of you that still carries early experiences, unmet needs, or old wounds.

Inner child work is about listening, acknowledging, and responding with compassion — not blaming yourself or the past. Asking questions like:
• “What age does this feeling come from?”
• “What did that younger me need?”
• “How can I give myself that support now?”

…can help you gently re-parent yourself and transform old pain into resilience and self-compassion.

FAQ Friday!

Feeling stuck in therapy? Let’s talk about it.

Therapy isn’t about constant breakthroughs. Sometimes progress looks like showing up, sitting in the discomfort, or simply not giving up.

If you’ve ever thought, “Am I even getting anywhere?”—you’re not alone. That feeling is a valid part of the journey. Growth can be quiet. Trust your process.
