🌡️ Potato or Egg?
Imagine this…
Two things go into boiling water:
🥚 An egg
🥔 A potato
Same water. Same heat.
But the egg comes out hard, and the potato comes out soft.
Why?
Because it's not the environment alone that determines the outcome…
It’s what’s inside that shapes the response.
We all face “boiling water” moments.
Stress. Anxiety. Burnout. Loss. Overwhelm.
Same pressures—yet people respond so differently.
Some harden up, shut down, and build walls.
Some melt into anxiety, feel broken, and collapse.
Neither is “wrong”. It’s just your response—and it's often shaped by your past, your nervous system, and your story.
The beautiful thing?
👉 You can change how you respond.
👉 Therapy helps you understand your triggers and reactions—and gives you tools to feel strong, balanced, and in control again.
So, just for a moment…
🌿 Are you more of a potato or an egg right now?
🟢 I soften when life heats up
🟡 I harden when life heats up
🔵 Depends on the day
🟣 I want to respond differently

Sometimes, how you’re responding is just your nervous system crying out for support. And that’s where therapy can change everything. 💛
