To my perfectionists,

You do not have to be perfect to earn your . It doesn't have to be "go big or go home" all the time.

Consistency over Perfection. I know the idea seems uneasy. Like you cannot be any other way but perfect.

will teach you discipline, grace, and patience. Consistency also allows you to pick yourself up when you miss. To build that will last longer than the pressure of being ever will.

I'm noticing the power of guilt and the effects it has on people's lives. Can't help but compare it to a thief. I love seeing people get back what guilt has stolen from them!

Have you ever felt really bad for something and tried to explain how you didn't mean it that way? Or attempted to show your good intentions so the person gets you were not intending harm?

It can definitely be tough to hear that you hurt someone's feelings, especially when you were not trying to. The harm when this occurs is that there is a lack of space given to the person whose feelings got hurt.

Remember both can be true. You can have the greatest intentions AND still hurt someone unintentionally. Give space when this happens and hear the person out.

Disagreements and differences are inevitable in relationships. Stay ahead of them by being more proactive and decreasing escalations.

Here are Four Possible Tips:

1. Schedule check in conversations with your partner. If possible, once a week even if it's just for 30 minutes. Share how you are doing, what's affecting you, what you are loving and know how they feel as well. Give each other feedback on what is working and what can be better.

2. I notice that sometimes people speak up about needing help or when something is bothering them after bottling it in for some time. Understand when your battery is decreasing and voice as it's decreasing instead of waiting until you are at a zero. This helps with communication and is a great tool to help tackle a possible fight.

3. Sometimes proactive tools don't go as planned and fights happen. If you find yourself in fight territory, be proactive with de-escalations! Learn when communication is being unproductive and not headed in the best direction. It's okay to take a break. Reassure your partner that right now a time out is the best thing for the relationship.

4. Sit down with your partner BEFORE an important event, gathering, vacation, or transition and discuss expectations. What are you hoping for? What would you like to see? Are you needing something? Being on the same page is important and get ahead by having a talk before.

I realized the other day that I had not updated my pictures since I opened my practice 🤯

Anywho, I'm Jessica and I'm the face behind Your Therapy Houston!

I've been in practice since 2018 and it's been so blissful doing what I truly love to do.

So, who do I work with? As an LMFT, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize with first generation population (as a first gen myself), Spanish speakers, teenagers, and couples.

I am also a Texas Approved Supervisor now. This newly found passion allows me to help grow the field I love very much. How cool is that?

Let's face it. Sometimes empathy is lost. Maybe the hurt is too big or compassion fatigue happens. When I catch it in sessions, I like to hold space and address it.


Did the client catch it? If it's a couple or a family, what was that like for them? Then I get really curious about how empathy managed to get lost. The reflection is important because it's key to gaining empathy back.


I try to show how empathy is truly a bridge to connection. Without it, people miss each other. They miss the understanding, the connection, and the message in general.


Empathy provides us with the opportunity to connect in times of needs. To let someone know that we are here in the moment, with them. It is also a great de-escalating tool. It's pretty hard to continue fighting with someone that hears you and practices empathy with you.


How do you remain mindful of your empathy levels?
