🔥 Perimenopause + Desire 🔥
Noticing changes in your s*x drive? You’re not alone. Hormonal shifts, stress, and body changes can all impact desire — but it doesn’t mean intimacy is over.

✨ S*x therapy can help you:
💬 Talk openly about what’s changing
🌸 Reconnect with your body + pleasure
🤝 Strengthen intimacy with your partner

Desire doesn’t disappear — it evolves. 💕

👉 Ready to feel more connected? Let’s talk. Link in bio.

✨ A hidden but very common part of therapy ✨

Sometimes people think therapy is only about insight and breakthroughs. But one of the most common — and most healing — parts of psychotherapy is simply: practicing being in a safe relationship.

For many clients, therapy is the first place where:
• Your feelings are welcomed instead of shut down
• You can be honest without fear of judgment
• Someone stays with you through discomfort instead of turning away

These moments might not look dramatic on the outside, but they’re actually powerful rehearsals for real life. Over time, the nervous system learns: “It’s safe to be seen. It’s safe to connect. I don’t have to do this alone.”

That’s the hidden work of therapy that often changes everything. 🌱

—
🔑 Gentle reminder: Therapy isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about experiencing a different way of relating — to yourself and to others.

🌿 Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s survival.

This weekend, try:
🕯 Lighting a candle and reading
🚶‍♀️ Taking a slow walk without your phone
🛁 A warm bath with no interruptions
💬 Saying “no” to one thing that drains you

Your mental health matters as much as anyone else’s.

✨ Women carry so much — family, work, relationships, self-expectations.
It’s no wonder stress, anxiety, and burnout can sneak in.

Therapy is more than just talking — it’s a space to recharge, realign, and rediscover yourself.

💌 If you’ve been putting yourself last, this is your sign to put yourself first.

💡 Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.
It can be:
Feeling numb or disconnected
Constant fatigue
Loss of interest in things you once loved
Difficulty concentrating

You’re not “lazy” or “broken” — you’re struggling with something real, and there’s help.

🌿 Therapy can be a safe place to find your way back.

💬 Reach out for postpartum support. You deserve to feel heard, seen, and supported.

✨ What Therapy Is vs. What Therapy Is Not ✨

🧠 Therapy IS:
• A safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
• A collaborative process where you set the pace and the goals.
• A place to build skills, insight, and strategies for navigating life’s challenges.
• A commitment to self-growth and self-awareness.
• An opportunity to feel seen, heard, and understood.

🚫 Therapy is NOT:
• A quick fix or instant cure.
• Someone telling you what to do with your life.
• Only for “crisis” or “serious problems.”
• A place where you’ll be judged or shamed.
• The same as venting to a friend (though it can feel supportive, it’s structured and intentional).

💬 Therapy is a journey, not a destination — and you don’t have to walk it alone.
