✨🎄Taking time to socialize with peers sharing meaningful conversations, exchanging thoughtful gifts, and talking about goals for the year ahead—fills our cups in ways working alone never could. These moments remind us that community, laughter, and feeling seen are just as important as productivity. We show up for one another, celebrate growth, and dream together about what’s next. Here’s to continued connection, collaboration, and shared goals.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) fancy term us therapists use-but IFS teaches us that every part of us just wants to be seen and this moment captures exactly that. Sitting in stillness, your Protectors, your Exiles, and your Self finally have space to breathe. The cliffs, the sky, the openness—they mirror the inner landscape you’ve been navigating for years. Up here, your parts don’t have to fight for your attention. They soften.They settle. They finally feel your presence. When you slow down enough, your Self leads.
Calm. Curious. Compassionate.
And every part begins to trust that it doesn’t have to carry everything alone.
This is the journey back home to you (self).

Sometimes healing is simply remembering that the light you’re searching for has been in your hands all along. And with the right therapist by your side, that light becomes clearer, stronger, and impossible to ignore—guiding you back to the version of yourself you were always meant to be.

💚 Check In, Don’t Check Out 💚
Mental health struggles often go unseen — but no one should have to face them alone. Take a moment today to check in on a friend, coworker, or loved one. A simple message, a phone call, or a kind word can make all the difference. Let’s remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay — and that help and hope are always available. 💚

Sometimes self-care isn’t just about rest — it’s about choosing small moments that fuel you inside and out. Stopping by The Ranch Nutrition in Castroville is one of those moments. Their energizing teas and protein shakes are the perfect pick-me-up, but what makes it even better is knowing you’re supporting a local small-town business built on heart and community.
Every sip is a reminder that wellness starts with small choices — choosing local, choosing nourishment, and choosing you. 💚

Everyday that I walk into the office these painted rocks remind me that each one is carrying a special message of hope, healing, or simply honesty.

✨ “I’m Okay
✨ “God is Real
✨I miss you
✨You got this

Sometimes healing looks like small reminders left behind by someone who’s been there too.💜Maybe they were hurting. Maybe they were healing. Maybe they just wanted to remind you that you’re not alone.
💛 Mental health isn’t always loud or obvious — sometimes it’s a quiet rock on a sidewalk, saying, “Keep going.”
If today feels heavy, let this be your reminder:💖You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to not be okay. And you’re allowed to keep trying.

“Two Broken Children”
They met like magnets drawn by invisible wounds — two souls who recognized each other’s ache long before they spoke a word.

She carried the quiet sadness of never being chosen. He carried the rage of always being not heard, and blamed. Both learned early that love meant survival, not safety. At first, it felt like home. Their broken pieces seemed to fit — her need to be needed, his need to be rescued. She saw the frightened little boy behind his anger; he saw the abandoned little girl behind her silence. They held each other tightly, mistaking trauma for tenderness.🖤
But healing never comes through the same patterns that caused the wounds.
Soon, her soothing became suffocating, and his protection became control. Their inner children, still unseen, began to fight for attention. ❤️When he raised his tone, it wasn’t her he was shouting at — it was the ghost of his mother. When she cried, it wasn’t him she was mourning — it was the father who was never there emotionally 🖤 or never came back. They tried to love each other through it, patching cracks with apologies, promising change, only to tear them open again. Each argument echoed the same childhood script: “Don’t leave me.” “Don’t hurt me.” But the more they clung, the more they lost themselves. In time, she realized she wasn’t loving him — she was loving the part of her that once begged someone to stay. And he wasn’t protecting her — he was protecting the boy who once had no control. They were two💔💔 broken inner children holding each other hostage, trying to heal through the same chaos that made them sick.
Healing came the day she stopped trying to fix him, and he stopped trying to own her pain. They parted — not out of hate, but out of mercy. She learned that loving herself meant rescuing her own inner child first. And maybe, somewhere down the line, he’d decide to do the same. Because sometimes love isn’t about becoming one — it’s about learning to become whole, separately. 💖

🌿 “What Is Inner Child Healing?”

When Loulou first started therapy, she didn’t understand why her anger felt so big or why a small comment could make her cry for hours. “I feel childish,” she said softly.

Her therapist smiled and replied, “That’s because it’s your child who’s hurting — not the woman sitting here.”

That day, Loulou met her inner child — the small version of herself who learned to stay quiet to keep the peace, who believed love had to be earned, who never really felt safe.

Inner child healing isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen.
It’s about going back — not to relive the pain, but to finally give that younger you what she needed all along:

Safety. Compassion. Validation.

Loulou started writing letters to her younger self.
She said “I’m sorry no one protected you.”
She said “You were always enough.”
She said "God smiled when you were born"
And slowly, she noticed something changing — her adult self started to feel lighter, calmer, whole.

Healing your inner child isn’t fixing who you were.
It’s remembering that she’s still inside you, waiting to be loved by the one person who finally can — you. ❤️❤️

🌸 My Journey of Healing 🌸
Behind this smile is a story of growth, faith, and healing. 💫There was a time I carried the weight of my past — the pain, the silence, the lessons. Today, I choose peace. I choose forgiveness. I choose ME😊. Healing isn’t a straight path — it’s messy, sacred, and powerful. Every tear, every reflection, every boundary has brought me closer to freedom. 🌿Here’s to healing the parts of us we once hid. To becoming whole again — one day, one breath, one moment at a time. 💖🦥🦥
