🌿 How much of what you worry about ever really happens?

This little diagram says it all: Most of our worries live in the land of “Things That Don’t.” That doesn’t mean your anxiety isn’t real—it just means you don’t have to face it alone.

✨ If worry is stealing your peace, therapy can help you step out of the cycle and into a calmer mind.

You can’t. Not even with a PowerPoint, TED Talk, or passive-aggressive memes. Change is an inside job!

Adoption Fact:
Even infants adopted at birth can experience trauma.

Why? Because babies are born wired for connection.
When separated from their biological parent - even immediately after birth - their nervous system registers that separation as a loss.

This is called "primal wound" trauma, and it can impact:
🔹 Attachment
🔹 Emotional regulation
🔹 Sense of safety
🔹 Identity development

The good news?
With adoption-informed support, healing is absolutely possible.
Trauma is not the end of the story - it’s a part of the story that deserves understanding and care.

When your child is dysregulated, they can't think clearly.
So they borrow your nervous system - your breath, your tone, your energy - to help find their way back to safety.

That’s why:

Yelling doesn’t teach safety.

Shame doesn’t build self-worth.

And “just calm down” never works.

But you being calm? That’s powerful!!
Even when you don’t have the perfect words.

Every time you respond with patience instead of punishment…
Connection instead of control…
You’re not just parenting —
You’re shaping the voice they’ll carry inside for the rest of their life.

Grief is how we come to terms with our new reality. It’s the process in which the old is mourned and released, and the new is accepted and assimilated into what’s new. Without proper grieving, you will be forever stuck in the in-between — struggling with the loss but never accepting the new life you live in.
