While therapy and friendship have similarities, they are distinct experiences and relationships.

Boundaries exist to protect and empower relationships. They are a healthy and necessary part of the human experience.

Learning to accept help doesn’t make you weak; it makes you wise. It’s a small shift in perspective that can make a world of difference.

So, take a step back, let people in just a little — and watch how much lighter life can feel.

In couples therapy, vulnerability refers to the willingness of each partner to be open and honest about their thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgment or rejection.

It involves letting down defenses and sharing one’s true self, fostering deeper emotional connection, trust and intimacy.

Couples therapy helps individuals develop the skills and confidence to be vulnerable and encourages partners to respond to vulnerability with empathy and support.

Relationship > exact process.

To strengthen the relationship between a parent and child, focus on open communication, quality time, affection and mutual respect.

Prioritize spending dedicated time together, actively listen to your child’s thoughts and feelings and express love and appreciation through words and actions.

Setting clear boundaries, encouraging independence and involving your child in decision-making can also foster a positive and healthy bond.

“Whenever I’m faced with a vulnerable situation, I get deliberate with my intentions by repeating this to myself: “Don’t shrink. Don’t puff up. Stand your sacred ground.”

Saying this little mantra helps me remember not to get too small so other people are comfortable and not throw up my armor as a way to protect myself.”
