We often forget to be kind to the most important person in our lives: ourselves. Self-compassion isn’t about self-pity; it’s about recognizing our humanity and treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we would offer a friend.

Here’s how you can start practicing self-compassion today:

1. Speak Kindly to Yourself: Instead of being your harshest critic, become your biggest supporter. Celebrate your strengths and forgive your shortcomings.

2. Mindful Moments: Take a few minutes each day to check in with yourself. Breathe deeply, relax, and acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Meditation or a walk in nature can do wonders.

3. Embrace Imperfections: Understand that nobody is perfect, and that’s okay. Our flaws and mistakes are part of our growth and learning journey.

Remember, you deserve the same love and care you so freely give to others. Be gentle with yourself, and let self-compassion light your way.

Relationships can be both amazing and challenging. Some days, it might feel like things are tougher than they should be, and you can’t see a way through. But sometimes, all you need is a new perspective. Therapy—whether individual or couples—can help you find insights and practical strategies to strengthen your bond and feel more connected with your partner(s).

Our minds are incredible tools designed for survival, but unfortunately, they don’t always know what’s best for us. Too often, we fall into the trap of overthinking, getting lost in the ‘what if’ or the ‘why’ scenarios that only lead to unnecessary misery. While it’s important to consider both of these questions when trying to find answers, they are only based on the hypothetical and often lead us to unhappiness, confusion and anxiety.
Luckily, there is a better way! In order to find the answers we are looking for, we need to focus on ‘what is’ actually happening in front of us or tune into ‘what is’ going on within us. Only then, can we discover the information we need to find what it is we are seeking. Remember, the answers reveal themselves in the moment. Don’t miss them by being caught up in your mind!

Confirmation bias is a common psychological term which explains a phenomenon inherent in our brains where we naturally collect evidence, including in our partnerships, to support our beliefs and disregard evidence that would challenge those beliefs. In other words, if we believe our partners do not care for or love us, we looking for and seeing behaviors that confirm those beliefs. For instance, someone who’s partner is being quiet during dinner may make the assumption they are not talking because they are mad at them whereas, the person may be quite for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with their partner. In order make sure you are seeing things from a more balanced perspective, try these strategies instead:
-Acknowledge your beliefs/assumptions could be wrong.
-Ask your partner clarifying questions to check in with what you are thinking.
-Use concrete facts to evaluate what is true.
-Don’t jump to conclusions (You can’t always trust what you are seeing the first time!)

We all make mistakes, but what matters most is how we handle them and what we do next. The secret to a good apology is simple:

1. Take some time to reflect on whether an apology is warranted.
2. When you apologize, focus on acknowledging what you did wrong rather than commenting on the other person’s actions.
3. Stay focused on the present mistake and avoid bringing up past grievances.
4. Set the intention to make things right and follow through with it.

We all have disagreements with our partners, and more often than not, we believe we are right and the other is wrong. It can be tempting to push our point, but trying to prove we are right during disagreements can cause more damage to the relationship than we realize. When we argue, it’s important to keep in mind that the other person’s perspective and experience are valid, even if they differ from ours. Validating their feelings can foster understanding and empathy in our relationships. We can disagree with them and still acknowledge and validate their feelings. It can be as simple as saying, ‘I understand where you’re coming from.’ Remember, it’s okay to disagree; what matters most is handling those disagreements with care and respect.

Relationships have their ups and downs and can evoke a wide range of emotions along the way. For instance, sometimes you may feel undervalued or unappreciated. Those are valid feelings—it’s your experience, therefore, it is valid. However, just because you can feel it, it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Feelings don’t always indicate that something is wrong; rather, they are important data points. Our feelings may not align with the reality of the other person’s emotions or how they truly feel. It’s crucial to validate our emotions while also seeking concrete evidence for or against our assumptions. If our emotions seem to align with what we identify as true for the situation, it’s important to communicate our needs to our partners.

One of a counselor’s main jobs is to challenge their clients, but if you aren’t getting what you need out of counseling or you don’t agree with what your counselor is teaching you, it is important for you to speak up!
Your counselor wants you to get the most out of your experience, and the more they know about you and what works for you (or doesn’t work for you) as a unique individual, the more they can help you!

Message from the therapist: “ I used to think I was bad at being mindful or meditating because I struggled with consistency. Forgetting to be mindful is part of the practice. I realized that the most essential part of mindfulness is simply returning to the practice of awareness. Mindfulness creates a space to reflect on our emotions and recognize the power we have over our behavior”.
