On my way to my stupid therapy appointment for my stupid mental health… because apparently I’m in my healing girl era now 🙄✨

Real talk…therapy isn’t always cute, aesthetic, or something you’re excited about.
Sometimes it’s inconvenient. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes you really don’t feel like going.

But THAT is the work.

Every time you show up anyway, you’re:

* keeping a promise to yourself
* choosing growth over avoidance
* proving that your healing matters, even on the days it feels heavy

And those are the moments that actually change you.

My top 3 tips for when you don’t feel like doing the things that will make you better:

1. Lower the bar, don’t cancel – You don’t have to go in and be your best self. Just go. Showing up is the win.
2. Detach from motivation – You’re not waiting to feel like it. You’re building discipline and self-trust.
3. Remind yourself who you’re becoming – Future you is begging you not to quit right now.

Because healing isn’t about feeling ready…
it’s about showing up anyway 🤍

POV: walking into the lobby like “okay don’t mess this up… it’s definitely… wait… no… I KNOW this…” 😅

My long-term memory? Elite.
My short-term memory when I meet a new client? Suddenly I’m fighting for my life.

And honestly… it makes so much sense. When you’re meeting someone new, you’re not just remembering a name, you’re holding space, reading energy, staying present, and trying to make them feel safe all at the same time.

So if I ever double check your name… just know it’s not because I don’t care.
It’s because I care enough to want to get it right 🤍

Stop trying to “fix” your anxiety. 🧩

Most of us treat our anxious thoughts like a piece of a puzzle that doesn’t belong we try to trim the edges, force it into place, or throw it away entirely.

But here’s the : That piece isn’t “broken.” It’s a protector. It’s usually the part of you that’s hyper-vigilant because it’s trying to keep you safe from a pattern you’ve outgrown.
When you stop fighting the piece, you can finally see where it actually fits in your story.
Which part of your “puzzle” are you tired of fighting today? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇

If it doesn’t feel right… it probably isn’t.

Therapy isn’t just about what you talk about, it’s about who you’re talking to. The relationship between therapist and client is the foundation of everything. No connection = no real progress.

And no… you’re not “too picky.” You’re allowed to want to feel safe, understood, and actually get your therapist.

My top 3 tips for finding the right fit:

1. Pay attention to how you feel after the session, not just during. Do you feel seen? Or just… talked at?
2. Give it 2–3 sessions, but trust your gut. If something feels off, it matters.
3. Don’t be afraid to try someone new. The right therapist will feel different.

The truth? Good therapy isn’t just about technique… it’s about connection 🤍

POV: someone says “therapy is stupid and doesn’t work” and I’m trying to stay calm 😅

I hear you, therapy isn’t for everyone.
But before we write it off completely, I’d get curious:

Did you actually commit to the process?
Did you give it a real chance, even when it got uncomfortable?
Did you take accountability, or were you waiting for someone to “fix” it for you?

Because therapy isn’t magic. It’s work.

And also… let’s be honest
It takes the right therapist AND the right relationship for it to land.

You’re allowed to say:
👉 “That therapist wasn’t for me.”
Instead of:
❌ “Therapy doesn’t work.”

If you’re thinking about trying again, go in with this mindset:

* Be open, even when it’s uncomfortable
* Advocate for what you need
* Give yourself time to build trust
* And don’t be afraid to find your person

Because when the fit is right and you’re all in…
therapy can change everything.

POV: me giving myself a pep talk after holding a strong boundary 😅

Trust me… I get it.
As therapists, we coach our clients on boundaries all the time but that doesn’t mean it’s easy when it’s our turn.

We’re human too.
We feel the guilt, the overthinking, the “was that too much?” just like everyone else.

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about how you show up after the discomfort hits.

If setting boundaries feels hard for you, here are 3 things that actually help:

1. Expect the discomfort
It doesn’t mean you did something wrong, it means you did something new.
2. Don’t over-explain your boundary
Clear is kind. Over-explaining usually comes from guilt, not necessity.
3. Sit with it instead of fixing it
You don’t need to rush in and soften it. Let it land. Let you adjust.

You can feel uncomfortable and still be doing the right thing 🤍

Sometimes therapy is the first place people ever say things out loud… and that’s not small.

Putting feelings into words is a skill most of us were never taught. You might feel it in your body, think it in your head, but actually saying it? That’s a whole different level of vulnerability.

If you’re someone who struggles to open up, here are 3 ways to start:

1. Start messy, not perfect.
You don’t need the “right” words. Say it how it comes out, even if it’s “this doesn’t make sense but…” That’s where the real work begins.
2. Name the feeling, even if it’s vague.
“I feel off,” “I feel weird,” “something feels heavy.” You don’t need precision, you need honesty. Clarity comes after you start.
3. Use your body as a guide.
If words aren’t there yet, describe sensations: tight chest, lump in your throat, racing thoughts. Your body speaks before your words do.

Therapy isn’t about saying it perfectly, it’s about showing up@and trying . And that alone is powerful. 🤍

POV: your client is sharing something… and you’re sitting there like “wait… why is this hitting a little too close to home?” 😅

Therapists are human to we feel it, we get it, and sometimes we’re right there with you in the experience 🤍
