When your child says, “You love them more,” they’re not accusing you — they’re asking for reassurance.
You don’t need to prove your love; you just need to pause long enough for them to feel it.

When teens stop talking, it’s rarely defiance — it’s disappointment.
They’re not hiding because they don’t trust you;
they’re hiding because they don’t trust what will happen next.

In sessions, I often meet teens who’ve learned to stay quiet to keep the peace.
We start with curiosity, not pressure — and slowly, words return.
It’s not about making them open up; it’s about making openness feel safe.

Listening without fixing is one of the most powerful tools a parent can learn.
It teaches teens: “You can be real here, and I can handle it.”

Control often dresses up as care.
It says, “I’m just worried,”
but it really means, “I don’t feel safe when you’re not okay.”

Real love has room for uncertainty.
It doesn’t fix — it trusts.

15/11/2025

Control is rarely about power — it’s about safety.
For many adults it quietly says, “I don’t trust things to be okay unless I manage them myself.”

If you grew up in chaos, uncertainty, or criticism, control feels like calm.
But it’s really constant tension.

Leaving therapy feeling “nothing” doesn’t mean you’re not healing —
it means your body’s still protecting you.

Insight ≠ integration.
You can know why you’re hurting
and still not be ready to feel it yet.

Every time you show up — even in silence — you’re building trust with yourself.

Puberty is rarely just about body changes.
It’s identity, belonging, comparison, and fear — all wrapped up in silence.

Some teens are desperate to grow up. Others are terrified.
And many feel stuck in between — expected to mature, but still craving the comfort of childhood.

If your child seems clingy, irritable, or unusually emotional, it might not be "just hormones."
It might be grief. Grief for a simpler time. Grief for who they’re leaving behind. Grief for a version of themselves they’re not ready to let go of.

Therapy helps young people name what feels scary.
It gives them space to not have it all figured out.
And for parents? It’s a reminder that reassurance doesn’t come from lectures or logic — it comes from connection.

💬 Comment “GROWING UP” if this resonates, or tag someone navigating puberty with their child.

You used to know the name of every friend, every joke from lunch, every tiny detail of their day.
Now? You're piecing it together from snippets and school updates.

But silence doesn't mean your connection is gone.
It means they're pulling back to figure things out, test boundaries, and protect themselves from being judged or shut down.
Sometimes it’s because they don’t feel safe enough to speak.
Other times, they don’t know how to explain what’s going on inside.

Rebuilding the bridge starts quietly.
Show them you're still there — without pressure.
Ask less. Notice more. Be curious.
Be the safest place to land, even if they haven’t said a word in days.

Keep showing up.

Let’s talk about guilt.

Not the kind that says “I did something wrong.”
The kind that whispers “I am wrong unless I sacrifice myself.”

That’s not guilt. That’s internalised expectation.

Mums are often expected to be bottomless wells — for patience, time, care, emotional labour. And when they hit empty, the guilt sets in.

But here’s the truth: – You can’t meet your child’s emotional needs by ignoring your own
– Burnout isn’t noble — it’s avoidable
– Modelling self-kindness is good parenting

You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to not feel guilty about resting.
You’re allowed to be a whole person, not just a parent.
