"When we embody our feelings, we allow them to teach us what needs underlie them, what actions need to be taken, and in so doing, that awareness can lead to better regulation and further wholeness of the self. That is a cycle worth the discomfort and inconvenience of emotions, and it is one a therapist can help guide you through. The reality is that there will be discomfort either way, but emotional expression can lead to a more integrated, embodied self, where repression will not. Which discomfort will you choose?"

"Building new habits also involves understanding that change is a gradual journey rather than an instant transformation. Engaging in mindfulness practices can increase awareness of habits and triggers, enabling better self-control. Ultimately, sustained habit change hinges on a combination of internal motivation, external support, and persistent effort, leading to improved well-being, productivity, and overall life satisfaction."

"Research tells us that emotional connection is built in everyday interactions, not just during conflict resolution or deep conversations (Gottman & Silver, 2015). Dr. Gottman found that emotionally successful couples regularly make and respond to what he calls bids for connection, small moments of reaching out for attention, affection, or support. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula. The best habits are personal, practical, and repeatable.

"So what actually happens when we start to confront our pain? We have all sorts of fears that flood our mind when we consider what will happen when we actually let our pain speak to us and/or to try to express it outwardly to somebody else. And that is most certainly a vulnerable position to be in. But instead of finding ourselves getting washed away by the pain, or turning into an “emotional” or “needy” person, we often find that we are… okay. Hurting, yes. Confused, probably. Uncomfortable, one hundred percent. But ultimately we come to find that we are okay, even in the midst of our pain."

"Where I grew up, people often joked if you don’t like something, just say “oh, that’s different” and the other person will get the idea. Or at a social gathering, when someone slaps their knees while getting up and says, “well, I suppose…” what they really mean is “we’re getting bored and want to go home, so see you later.”"

So, counselor what can I do to get the results I want BUT I don’t want things to change for me in any way?'
