Anesis Therapy

If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to 'just relax' or why 'good enough' never feels good enough, this one's for you.

Somewhere along the way, you learned that mistakes had consequences, and perfect became your armor.

But here's the truth: you don't have to earn your worth through performance. You are valuable simply because you exist.

People-pleasing isn't about being 'too nice'. Your nervous system developed this pattern to keep you safe, often in childhood when love felt conditional or conflict felt dangerous.

Understanding the 'why' behind people-pleasing can help you approach it with compassion instead of judgment. You're not weak for wanting to be liked; you're human.

As you swipe through these, notice which fears feel most familiar. Healing happens when we can see our patterns clearly and gently challenge the beliefs that no longer serve us.

With over 500 registered, the Anesis Conference brought together mental health champions who are reshaping equitable care for communities of color. From powerful keynotes to breakthrough conversations, our conference proved that when we center cultural diversity in healing, magic happens.

To every attendee who showed up with passion, every speaker who shared their wisdom, every volunteer who worked behind the scenes, and every sponsor who invested in this vision — THANK YOU for making this unforgettable.

The energy was unmatched. The connections were real. The impact will ripple far beyond these sacred spaces.

This is just the beginning. See you in 2027 for the next Anesis Conference! 💫

Supporting someone you care about in their healing journey can feel overwhelming. You want to help, but you're not sure how—or worried you might say the wrong thing.

The truth is, your role isn't to be their therapist. It's to be their safe person, their constant, their reminder that they're not alone in this process.

These slides offer gentle guidance on how to show up for someone in therapy without overstepping boundaries. Sometimes the most healing thing you can offer is simply your presence and patience.

Your nervous system is constantly working to keep you safe, but sometimes it gets stuck in survival mode even when you're not in danger.

This is called dysregulation, and it's more common than you might think.

Understanding these signs can help you recognize when your body and mind need extra support. You're not 'overreacting' or 'too sensitive'—you're having a normal response to stress or trauma.

The beautiful thing about nervous system work is that regulation is something that can be learned. Your body wants to feel safe, and with the right tools, it can.
