Sometimes we have bad days… and that’s okay! But giving yourself permission to feel that way and knowing how to support yourself through it is essential. Without those two things the emotion becomes too big, takes control, and then you lose control and crisis happens.

My #1 trip in crisis prevention is, and always has been, REGULATION before RESOLUTION.

What helps you ground yourself?

I hope you’re having a great Self Care Sunday and that you remember to be kind to your mind this week! You’re doing your best and you’re doing wonderfully 🩷💜

Today on the blog I’m answering one of the main questions we see in Couples Therapy… Whose needs matter most? In the last post I talked about love languages & boundaries but what happens in relationships where those needs contradict each other?

Love Languages & Soul Mates: The Key to Connection

You didn’t think I’d let Valentines Day go by without writing a post on soul mates did you? Especially as I’m currently writing from England, the birthplace of my favourite love stories!

But I wouldn’t be much of a therapist if I didn’t highlight the science behind the idea of “destiny” and “soul mates”. And I also wouldn’t be being honest with myself if I didn’t state that platonic relationships are just as/ if not more important than the romantic ones we share.

So this week the blog post is about all of that!

My challenge for you: after reading, take a few moments to think about what your love languages are, and do a relationship MOT with those closest to you- are your needs being met? And are you meeting theirs?

Let me know what you think, and as always, be kind to your mind 💜

A lot of the time, broken relationships are the reason we end up in therapy and the only way to heal them is with HEALING relationships. The Therapeutic Relationship is essential to session success. It determines engagement, consistency, and confidence.

This week on The Therapist Diaries…

Childhood trauma doesn’t just stay in the past, it shapes how memory works well into adulthood. Gaps, fogginess, or emotionally charged memories are often the nervous systems way of protecting us.

As a clinician, my primary goal is to help clients experience meaningful relief in a way that feels safe, empowering, and respectful of their pace. Over the
