11/14/2025

This month, we’re talking about perfectionism — not as a flaw, but as a form of protection.

Many of us learned early on that if we could just hold it all together, stay calm, perform well, or keep others happy… we’d be safe. But over time, those survival strategies start to feel like self-criticism, exhaustion, and disconnection.

🩶 November at Jacksonville Creative Therapy is all about releasing perfectionism and returning to what matters most: connection, rhythm, and compassion.

We’ll explore:
✨ The roots of perfectionism in fear and shame
✨ Why “good enough” builds trust and closeness
✨ How values—not perfection—bring meaning
✨ Using art and creativity as a safe way to practice imperfection

You don’t need to fix yourself this month — you need to meet yourself.
Let’s move into the holidays imperfect, honest, and human… together.

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagining success and experiencing it.

When you visualize confidence, clarity, and progress — you’re literally building new neural pathways that make those outcomes more likely.

If anxiety has trained your brain to expect failure, this is your invitation to retrain it for success. ✨

Visualize your win. Feel it. Rehearse it. Believe it. 🌿

You can’t change what you don’t notice.

Try this experiment for one week:
⏰ Set a timer 3x a day and ask yourself, “How stressed am I right now, 1–10?”

Notice your body, your breathing, your posture, your thoughts. Most of us run at a 9 all day without realizing it.

Awareness is the first step toward balance — and peace. 🌿
Start checking in with yourself today.

We’ve been sold the idea that productivity = peace.
But the truth? Peace comes from presence, not pressure.

If you grew up in a family that rewarded “doing” over “being,” rest might feel uncomfortable — even guilt-inducing. But mindfulness and rest aren’t luxuries; they’re daily necessities for a regulated, peaceful mind.

Start small. Breathe. Slow down. You deserve rest. 🌿

11/04/2025

What if the patterns you’re dealing with now started before you could even talk? From day one, you arrived with a unique wiring, a personality, and a family system. That early “baby bootcamp” period—ages 0-3—set the stage for how you learned to get your needs met.

If your caregivers were burnt out and the message was “I’m fine, you be quiet,” you might have internalised: “My needs don’t matter. I’m too much.”

Healing means recognising that message, understanding where it came from, and rewriting it. Your needs are valid. Your voice matters. And you weren’t too much—you were just born with a truth that needed to be heard.

10/30/2025

Have you ever found yourself saying, “If I’m just easier to be around, if I do more or care less… maybe I’ll finally be seen?"

This isn’t just in romantic relationships—it spills into work, friendships and family. A trauma response often teaches us: My needs don’t matter unless I perform.

But here’s the truth: your needs do matter. 🧠💙

What if the right person didn’t need you to shrink or push for less—they just needed you to show up as you are? Because showing up you is exactly what love, real connection, and healing require.

10/29/2025

Your parents’ love for you may have been a given — that’s often not what’s at issue. The trouble lives in the beliefs you internalized. Maybe someone once said you were “too intense”, “too sensitive”, or “too much” when you were three. And in that moment, you believed it.

That belief can stick with you for years, silently shaping your relationships, your boundaries—or lack thereof—and how you show up for yourself. 🧠

Truth: Your parents were human too. They had emotional limits and moments of overwhelm. What landed on you was their unmet need, not your worth.

You’re not broken for feeling this. You’re ready to unearth those old beliefs, challenge them, and say: My needs matter. I matter. 🌿

10/28/2025

Are you the one who always carries the emotional load in a relationship— the fixer, the peacemaker, the “too responsible” one? The truth is: this over-functioning isn’t strength—it can be a survival response to what we didn’t get as kids. When your needs weren’t seen or met, you learned to meet everyone else’s so you could feel safe.

Now, sometimes you’re still doing it—not because you’re broken, but because it worked once. But when it’s harming you, it’s time to rewrite the story. You deserve a life where your needs matter, where relationships are balanced, and where you don’t have to burn out to be worthy. 🌿

Small-t trauma (those early attachment wounding moments) isn’t “less than” big-T trauma—it still shapes your nervous system and how you relate.

If you’re ready to move from over-doing to over-thriving, this one’s for you.

10/24/2025

Ever feel like your mind is racing before your day even begins? 🌪️ Try this: as you brush your teeth tomorrow morning, pause. Take three deep breaths, and truly sense your five elements—what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.

You don’t need fancy mindfulness apps or 20 minutes of meditation—just one minute of presence gives your nervous system space to pause, reset, and show up calmer. When you start small, you start strong. 🧘‍♀️

10/23/2025

When we skip rest, don’t nourish ourselves, or ignore our feelings, our emotional regulation suffers. 🧠

It’s harder to stay grounded and make wise decisions—especially in relationships and life’s big moments. But when we pause, feel, and respond with intention, we create the stability our bodies and minds crave.

Self-care isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s the foundation for being the best version of yourself and showing up fully for what matters. 🌿
