As a therapist who’s been in therapy, it’s always fascinating to me when people think it’s alllllll validation and no accountability. All comfort, no discomfort. I’m also aware that therapists who tend not to challenge or confront their clients exist. I’m just not one of them.

Unsafe/abusive relationships erode self-trust. If you have any history of childhood or attachment trauma, you likely struggled with that in the first place. When you find yourself in a relationship that asks you to be less, tolerate more, or completely surrender, you don’t question it. You question yourself.

Healing looks like reclaiming what you had to deny to stay safe and connected.

We will face topics like this and more in my upcoming group for women living in the aftermath of an abusive relationship. Wednesday evenings, twice a month. See you there? 🫶🏻

Sharing in a meaningful way on instagram has come somewhat naturally to me. I usually have alot of thoughts (opinions) about things and alot I want to say (I’m an Aries and a Gemini rising, after all). I dive intensely into what I’m passionate about and it *usually* spills over. It feels like a creative outlet. It also used to feel so easy. Like it took soooo little time. I mostly relied on the ebb and flow of inspiration because I could trust it. But now???

I’m trying to find my way to some new version. I’ve posted sporadically the last two years- when my brain is working and I have energy to spare 🫠 because it really is still important to me, big picture, and I do still have so much I want to find my way back to sharing. I still love this work and the gift of being a therapist more than I can say. I still love the way social media can connect us to the right people and get helpful information out there. But d*mn it!! My capacity changed!

Maybe it’s temporary. Maybe it’s permanent. Maybe the fog of early motherhood but I do feel like it’s lifting ever so slightly. Anyone else? Sigh.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for your time 😆

I’m really hopeful this can be a resource for the women in Knoxville. It’s been a longtime dream of mine and something I’ve been talking about behind the scenes for a few months. With enough interest, we’ll get started in February!

Send me an email at kelseythetherapist@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments outside of what the form in my bio allows.

We are often drawn to what feels familiar. When we find ourselves consistently apart of dynamics like these, there is usually something in our history- in our attachment blue print- that can help us understand those patterns a bit better. What keeps hurting you is worth a deeper look.

Not an exhaustive list. When I’m working with women in this context, almost 100% of the time the question “Why do I keep choosing these people?” Or “how did I get here?” comes up. Those answers will always be unique to the individual, but we can start to explore that by looking at your relational blueprints. Does love only feel real if you had to earn it? How entangled is fear with love? Does control feel like love or protection? Does volatility feel safe and peace feel unpredictable?
