He’s studying attachment styles… and I’m over here demonstrating mine in real time. 😄

Physical touch isn’t just a preference — for some of us, it’s how we reconnect, regulate, and remember we’re on the same team. Therapy knowledge is great… but couch cuddles still win every time.

Tell us — what’s your love language?

Play isn’t extra—it’s essential.
Shared laughter, light competition, and moments of ease are some of the fastest ways couples rebuild connection and emotional safety.

As therapists, we see it all the time: couples who make room for play communicate better, recover from conflict faster, and feel more bonded over time. You don’t need a grand date or a deep talk every night—sometimes connection looks like sitting across from each other, fully present, and enjoying the moment.

Healthy relationships aren’t built only in hard conversations.
They’re built in moments like this.

Being called “too much” usually means your needs aren’t being met — not that your needs are unreasonable.

Humans are wired for connection, consistency, and emotional responsiveness. When those needs go unanswered, your body reacts with anxiety, frustration, or intensity — not because you’re broken, but because you’re trying to stay connected.

You’re not too much.
You’re responding to too little.

And that deserves attention, not dismissal.

Feeling lonely in your relationship doesn’t mean you picked the wrong person — it means something important isn’t being met.

Loneliness isn’t about a lack of love.
It’s about a lack of emotional responsiveness, attunement, and repair.

You can be committed, loyal, and “doing everything right” — and still feel unseen if your bids for connection don’t land.

That ache isn’t neediness.
It’s your nervous system asking for safety, presence, and care.

Loneliness is not a personal failure.
It’s relational information.

Listen to it.

That’s just how I am” is not authenticity — it’s avoidance dressed up as self-acceptance.

Healthy relationships require growth, accountability, and emotional flexibility. When someone refuses to evolve but expects you to adapt, that’s not stability — that’s stagnation.

You don’t need a partner who’s perfect.
You need one who’s willing.

Willing to reflect.
Willing to repair.
Willing to grow — even when it’s uncomfortable.

If growth feels threatening to your relationship, the problem isn’t growth.

Save this. Sit with it. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.

🇺🇸 Veterans Day: What Does It Mean to a Veteran? 🇺🇸
“Thank you for your service.”�It’s a phrase many veterans will hear today. But I invite you to pause and think—what does Veterans Day truly mean to a veteran?
For most of us who served, it was never about medals or recognition. It was an honor to serve this great nation—to wake up each day with purpose and a commitment to protect our fellow citizens.
We faced hardship and sacrifice because someone had to… so why not us? When we signed that contract, we knew the weight of what it meant. Yet we did it proudly, because the only colors that mattered were Red, White, and Blue.
Service also means brotherhood and sisterhood. Across generations and uniforms, veterans are connected by a common bond. We don’t move toward danger for glory—we do it for the person beside us. The friendships, loyalty, and love forged in service last a lifetime.
And yes, service means growth. Most veterans will tell you that their lives are better for it. Even those who carry scars—seen or unseen—will say they came out stronger, more disciplined, and more grateful.
So go ahead and say, “Thank you for your service.” Just know that behind that nod or smile is someone who’s proud to have served, proud to have been part of something greater than themselves.
To be among the 1% who answered the call is an honor beyond words.
Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸
