Little things are not so little
-
The little changes, the little shifts within you, the small efforts you put in, the tiny habits you try to adopt, or
The thoughts you didn't act on, the temptation you didn't fall into, or
The way your partner welcomes you home, the morning texts you receive, the way they notice your triggers and tries to eliminate them,
The birthday gifts, the anger outbursts, the way they treat you when angry, the way they talk about you behind your back, and
-
The list goes on. These are the big things. And the big things are made out of the sall ones đź©·

However, that often didn’t start in adulthood. It started in moments like this.iet, too careful with our words.
-
But often, that didn’t start in adulthood. It started in moments like this.
-
It seems harmless, polite, normal. A cultural habit.
But your nervous system gets the message fast:
“Your voice is not needed here. Be good, stay quiet.”
-
And when this happens over and over you learn that your words are interruptions,
that taking up space makes you an inconvenience,
that silence is safer than being dismissed. Because who would want to put themselves in a situation to be dismissed all over again?
-
Let me make it clear once again: It’s not just about a dinner table. It's not about one incident. It's a repetitive behavior that made us learn to abandon our voice so we can keep belonging.
-
If this is you: it’s not too late to reclaim that voice.

We say we want deep connection but we hide the parts that actually need to be seen.
We say we want honesty but get defensive when someone stops pretending.
We crave love but run from the vulnerability it demands.
-
It’s not because we’re broken.
It’s because we’re scared.
Being fully seen is brave work. Staying open when you want to shut down is brave work. Loving without armor is brave work.
-
If this feels familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. Maybe it just means you’re human and that you’re ready to notice the walls, and maybe to also soften them, bit by bit.

Yes, we should teach our kids discipline.
And no, one moment of saying “no” to chocolate isn’t traumatic in itself.
But it’s never just one moment.

It’s the repetition of moments like this…
where no one explains why,
where the child is left to make sense of it on their own,
where their internal world starts to feel wrong, shameful, or too much.

I say this not as a critic of parenting, but as an adult psychologist
who hears this exact story at least twice a week.

The themes are hauntingly similar:
➡️ “I’m scared of failing.”
➡️ “I always second-guess myself.”
➡️ “I feel like I have to perform to be accepted.”

These are not random adult patterns. They are the ripple effects of unspoken rules, internalized beliefs, and subtle yet consistent emotional silencing.

If you’re an adult now recognizing this, I want you to know that you’re not broken.
You just adapted.
And you can begin to unlearn.

I’ll admit it: sometimes I wish I could break the rules of confidentiality, not to expose, but to awaken. To show how often we hurt each other without meaning to. To reveal how many of us are carrying wounds that look almost identical.
It can be heartbreaking if you know how many people feel alone, when their pain is more common than they realize.
So trust me when I say: you are not alone. Not in your fears. Not in your grief. Not even in your joy. Nothing you feel is unfamiliar to the human heart đź©·đź©·

Today, I turned 30 🥳
And I wanted to pause and share a few reminders with myself, some things I’ve learned about who I am and who I’ve become.

I actually have a much longer list, but these are the ones I feel called to put out there today 🤗

Growing up, I never imagined I’d be where I am at 30. I often forget that. I get so caught up in the version of me I still want to become, that I lose sight of the version of me that exists now, the one who’s worked hard, grown through so much, and made it here.

So this post is a small act of self-love.
Because who I am today is worthy of celebration.
And I owe myself a little more grace đź©·

“Why do I still want someone who hurt me?”

It’s a question I hear often in therapy, and the answer isn’t about weakness. It’s about wiring.

When you’ve been shaped by unpredictable or unsafe emotional environments, your nervous system may confuse chaos with love. It craves what’s familiar, not necessarily what’s healthy.

These are trauma bonds. Not because you’re broken, but because your brain is trying to protect you using old strategies.

The pull you feel? It’s not love. It’s your system reaching for regulation, even if it costs you peace.
