Clearing Out the Clutter: Making Space for What Truly Matters
We all have a junk drawer—full of things we thought we might need, things we keep adding to. A AAA battery, a ribbon from last year’s package, an instruction manual for some long-gone appliance, tape, rubber bands, a stray nail or screw, an old picture or note. Random stuff that might come in handy one day—or that we once thought would but no longer does.
Our inner world is often the same way. Over time, we collect thoughts, emotions, and stories—some useful, some outdated, some we never really needed in the first place.
Therapy is like opening that junk drawer and taking inventory. If we don’t do this regularly, it can be overwhelming.
As we sift through, we start noticing what’s trapped inside—old narratives, lingering fears, meanings we’ve assigned to past experiences, beliefs we’ve carried for years. Some of it needs to go. Trash. Throw it away. It’s not serving you anymore—maybe it never did.
Other things may have once been useful but no longer fit who you are now. They got you through a season, but their purpose has passed. It’s okay to let them go too.
Then, there are the things worth keeping—the truths, the strengths, the lessons that still serve you. Some things you might not be sure about yet, and that’s okay. You can take time to sit with them, to decide what belongs and what doesn’t.
Just like decluttering a junk drawer, sorting through your inner world creates space—space for clarity, healing, and the things that truly matter.
✨ What are you holding onto that no longer serves you?
✨ What needs to be released to make room for something better?
✨ What’s worth keeping, nurturing, and carrying forward?
As we clear out what no longer belongs, we create space for what does. We organize, we become intentional, and we make room for what is life-giving, healing, and true.
I see you. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all that’s been stored inside, you don’t have to sort through it alone.
