Sometimes, you just have to forgive yourself not once, but over and over again.

For the choices you made when you didn’t know better.

For the words you said when your heart was tired.

For the things you did, thinking they were right at the time.

You did what you thought was best with the understanding you had.

So be kind to yourself. Healing doesn’t always happen in one moment.

Sometimes, it’s a decision you make every single day.

Maybe you’re in a season where everything feels heavy—where the battles are constant, and the strength you once had feels like it’s fading.

The struggle is real. The pain, the questions, the waiting, all of it. But so is God, and His grace to overcome.

He’s real in your weakness, present in your pain, and faithful in every silent tear.

When life feels too much, His grace steps in and carries what you can’t.

You’re not alone in the struggle—He’s right there, fighting for you, holding you together.

Rest in that truth. Because even when life gets hard, God remains good 🤍

When your worth has always been measured by productivity, slowing down feels like erasing yourself. 🌀 That’s not weakness, it’s your nervous system confused by years of achievement-driven wiring. The brain learns to equate “busy” with “valuable,” but that pattern can be rewired. 🧠✨

Rest doesn’t make you disappear. It makes you whole. ❤️‍🩹

Boundaries > Threats, both for getting the job at hand completed, and building relationships!

There’s a big difference between a threat and a boundary — even if the words sound similar.

⚡ Threat: “Clean your room or no TV.” (Comes from frustration and control.)
🌱 Boundary: “You can watch TV after your room is clean.” (Comes from calm guidance and clear limits.)

One triggers resistance. The other teaches responsibility and follows through with connection. 💛

👉 Learn more about setting boundaries that connect in Guidance from The Therapist Parent — available at www.thetherapistparent.com and on Amazon.
