Big Ol’ Disclaimer: this is context specific, as with everything in therapy. Therapy is multifaceted and specific to each client and therapist. This is just something I’ve been reflecting on recently, particularly for those who identify as people
Pleasers, etc. # therapy

For a show about gay men, I also feel like I could write a thesis on how it portrays women 😂. They don’t fall into the typical stereotypes we see constantly. Instead we see them being genuine, caring friends, loving but flawed parents, intelligent sports loving people. Imagine that, women are varied and complex!

Emotional tolerance isn’t about forcing yourself to “be positive” or pretending things don’t hurt. It’s about expanding your capacity to stay present with discomfort, to notice the tight chest, the lump in your throat, the grief, the fear, without immediately trying to fix, numb, or escape it.

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported this page as this counselling practice begins to take shape.

My hope in being here is simple, to be a steady, supportive presence for people as they navigate the harder or quieter moments of life. If someone you care about is looking for therapy now or sometime in the future, you’re always welcome to pass this page along. No pressure, no urgency. Just a gentle reminder that support is available when it’s needed.
