Sometimes anger is just a mask used to cover other feelings. It is imperative that we learn to address our anger by sitting in it and identifying where it is coming from.

More importantly, it is imperative that we teach our children the same.

Yesterday’s coping skills aren’t todays coping skills.

Sometimes we outgrow our coping skills and sometimes we just need to grow 🌱

Adolescent Transition can be an extremely difficult and stressful time for our youth. The challenges that come along with change can significantly impact their mental health 🤯.

✅The first step to overcoming these challenges is to know that the changes they’re going through are normal.

✅The second step is to get our adolescents mentally and emotionally prepared for the unpredictability of life.

Our adolescent transition program focuses on that and more. Check out our website to learn more (Link in Bio).

Yesterday made 1 week since my Black History Month Event. That’s how long it took me to take in all the joy and happiness I experienced on that day.

Originally I felt the need to post immediately after the event or definitely before the end of Black History Month.

Instead, I decided to give myself time to embrace and sit in the experience.

I am still overwhelmed with joy and I am extremely thankful for all the love and support received.

These qualities usually don’t come from a healthy place.

Here are 2 types of parentification:

1. Instrumental Parentification- Taking on tasks of your caregiver. Cooking, cleaning, caring for your caregiver or other children in the home. “Growing up fast”
2. Emotional Parentification- Managing your caregivers emotions and providing emotional support. Helping them resolve conflict or develop solutions to their problems.

A few signs that you’re an adult parentified child:
- High levels of compulsive caretaking, trying to “fix people”
- Attracting troubled individuals in need of “rescuing”
- Perfectionism
- Workaholism
- High levels of anxiety or depression
- Difficulty creating boundaries for yourself and others around you

✨✨It is Self Care Sunday✨✨

This message is for everyone, especially my fellow therapists.

We can be so driven by our passion to help others that we sometimes forget to help ourselves and cater to our needs.

Gone are the days of pouring from an empty cup

In 2022, let’s decrease burnout 😫and increase self care 😌

Grief can come in many different forms.

You can grieve friendship, romance ❤️ and family relationships .

You can grieve the loss of material things (house 🏡, car, sentimental items…).

You can grieve the loss of normalcy. This can occur due to a life changing event ( loss of a job, change in work schedule, remote learning 💻).

You can grieve the loss of things even if it was initiated by you (quit drinking, quit smoking 🚭, celibacy).

This is a very modest list. Remember, grief is apart of life and it is not linear. If you’re having a difficult time during your grief process, look for support groups, lean on your support system, consider seeing a therapist.
