💭 Thoughtful Thursdays with a Therapist 💭

Family roles often form unconsciously, shaped by habits, expectations, and patterns over time.

Therapy offers a safe space to explore these roles and redefine them in ways that support growth and wellbeing. 🌿

✨ Ask yourself:
What role do I take on in my family?
Is it helping or hurting my sense of balance and happiness?

Let’s start the conversation. 💬
