Therapy is not easy...

Its hard to sit with a stranger and talk about difficult things and be vulnerable.

Is it hard? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes!

Sometimes the situation doesn’t change — but the story you tell yourself about it can.

That’s the power of reframing. 💭

Instead of thinking:

“I can’t handle this.”
Try:
“This is hard, and I’m learning how to handle hard things.”

Instead of:

“My child never listens.”
Try:
“My child is communicating a need in the only way they know how right now.”

Reframing isn’t toxic positivity. It’s not pretending things are fine.
It’s about finding a more balanced, compassionate lens — one that helps you respond instead of react.

When your thoughts start spiraling, pause and ask:
🧠 “Is there another way to look at this?”
💛 “What would I say to a friend in my shoes?”

Sometimes one small shift in language can open a big door to peace.

✨ You can’t always control what happens — but you can shape the meaning you give it.

I talk a lot about boundaries but this is how I actually picture it in my head

Each of us are in our own castle and we control who we lower the draw bridge for and who we do not; for what behaviours we welcome and which we keep out.

If you have no boundaries then the bridge is always down welcoming everyone into your castle (aka your life).

When you have boundaries; you raise and lower it for who you want and how you want. Sometimes the bridge is half down waiting to see whether you need to lower it and invite people in or raise it and keep them on the other side of the moat.

I first started journaling when I moved away for Grad school to Grand Forks - it helped me process my emotions and life while being away from my support system.

Journaling is something I continue to do today; I love a pretty journal! It grounds me and helps me process my feelings and the curve balls life throws and also document my wins.

I recently started giving myself some prompts to try and I am going to share three that are thought provoking to try out. If you like it, great - if not, thats cool too!

1) What am I ACTUALLY feeling? The unedited, unfiltered version of my inner most feelings

2) What is draining me?

3) What have I been forcing myself to do?

Conflicting emotions can exist at the same time - both are valid.

Life is not black or white - embrace the grey area.

🍂 October is about letting go.

Just like the leaves, you’re allowed to release what no longer serves you.

✨ Let go of the pressure to be perfect.
✨ Let go of old stories that keep you stuck.
✨ Let go of saying “yes” when you mean “no.”

Take a breath, slow down, and remember—growth happens in the letting go. 🧡

Therapist Reads!

Fun fact about me is I LOVE to read; I usually have 2-3 books on the go at one time - one of which is always a paperback and not on my Kobo.

This is my current reading obsession - it hits the self-sabotaging point from multiple different lenses and makes you think about it from a different perspective.

If you self-sabotage I highly recommend!

What is a quote or saying that has helped you lately? This is one of my recently.

It helps me have perspective when I am feeling stressed out of overwhelmed.

People only see what you show them or what they choose to see.

They do not see the tears, the suffering, the internal battles, the moments of wanting to give up. They do not see the days when you do not want to get out of bed, when putting on the mask is the last thing you want to do but the only way you know how to survive the darkness to hopefully make it out the other side.
