Reciprocity isn't about keeping score. It's about both people naturally showing up for each other without one person carrying the whole weight of the relationship.

It looks like both people initiating, not just one person always reaching out while the other responds. Emotional support flowing in both directions. Neither person always being the one who has to chase or pursue. Giving and receiving happening without a running tally in the background.

When reciprocity is present you don't have to wonder if you're too much or not enough. The balance isn't perfect, but the effort is mutual.

That mutuality is what makes the relationship feel safe

I have been reflecting a great deal about my path in helping others. In 2007, I received my first certification as a Counselor, Certified Addiction Counselor.

My journey of learning has been complex and dynamic, from becoming a Certified Cultivating Safe Spaces facilitator in 2024 to the last 2 years, training as an Intimacy Professional and continuing to develop professionally.

I am now excited to share a new designation, as a RTC, Registered Therapeutic Counselor.

One step at a time.
