Supporting a child with ADHD isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong”-it’s about leaning into their unique strengths and helping them thrive.

I wanted to take a moment to discuss the cycle of avoidance that many individuals get stuck in. It usually occurs when we feel a high level of distress related to a certain task or situation. To cope with this stress, we avoid doing that activity. Instantly we feel better because we no longer have to face what is upsetting us. This relief will reinforce the idea that avoiding situations are helpful. The problem is that most situations occur again, and therefore our relief is only temporary. A lot of therapy involves learning to slowly be able to face situations that overwhelm us. The more we are able to engage in the activity that upsets us, the more confident we feel in our ability to cope and our anxiety will eventually decrease.

Intellectualizing emotions is a topic that comes up quite often in therapy. This defense mechanism is usually seen as a positive, and although in many cases it can be, there definitely are some drawbacks to this. I often see this strategy used for people who have experienced trauma, are highly sensitive, are higher achievers, and people who have perfectionistic tendencies.

To the parent spending their postpartum in hospital hallways instead of a quiet bedroom - I see you.

You’re carrying a healing body and a heart split between two places. You’re running on adrenaline when you need rest. You’re loving fiercely while feeling utterly exhausted.
None of this is what you pictured, and yet you are showing up every single day for your baby. That matters. You matter.

Your postpartum may look different, but it’s no less real. Your recovery, your emotions, and your story deserve space too. 💛

Postnatal OCD isn’t just ‘new parent anxiety.’ It’s intrusive thoughts and overwhelming compulsions that can feel terrifying and isolating. You are not broken. You are not a bad parent. You are experiencing a treatable mental health condition- and you deserve support and understanding.”

Just because you’re cleared physically doesn’t mean you’re okay emotionally. Perinatal mental health matters too. You deserve support, not silence. 💛

Ever catch yourself thinking emotions are a sign of weakness? Or that if you ignore them, they’ll just disappear?

💭 The truth is, emotions are messengers, not problems to fix. In therapy, we unlearn harmful beliefs about emotions and start to listen to what they’re trying to tell us.

Swipe through for some common myths and the facts behind them. Your feelings aren’t too much - they’re valid, and they matter. 💛

This is one of the most personal things I’ve ever written. For a long time, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever share it- but if my story can offer even a small sense of validation, comfort, or solidarity to someone else walking a similar path, then it’s worth it. Infertility is layered, lonely, and often misunderstood. This blog post is my attempt to put words to a journey that changed me. Thank you for reading with compassion.
