Happy 7th Anniversary to my rock, my best friend, and the person who has supported my growth into the human I am today - which looks vastly different than the human I was when we met. I can write pages about how much you mean to me - but I will spare the internet today LOL.

It’s such a wonderful and rare feeling to be in a relationship with someone that grounds you, while also inspiring you. Thank you for being my biggest support system while I finished graduate school. Thank you for loving me. I love you dearly.

Maybe a wedding in our horizon this year? 💒🖤

Something I’m still learning - as someone who has struggled with anxious attachment style myself.

Feeling attached to an idealized version of what a relationship could be, versus the reality of the relationship that took place, is something that takes time & consistency to really work on and process. What I’ve realized is that when the feeling of wanting to reconnect or find closure with someone is so very intense - especially when that person was not necessarily deserving of our energy to begin with - there is usually an underlying reason that is almost 100% internal, whether that is:
- wanting to feel loved/validated
- craving a dopamine boost that the person once provided
- fear of abandonment/being judged/being misunderstood

And the list goes on. Some of the hardest transitions in life involve accepting truths about relationships - which involves accepting truths about ourselves, and finding the tools to heal/navigate those truths without incessantly seeking reassurance from the very same people who magnified those truths to begin with.

Peeling back the layers of a reaction >>>

Often, what we feel first isn’t the whole story. In parts work, we slow down and listen to different parts of ourselves — each one revealing a deeper truth. Usually, a Protector part of us is shielding us from a deeper, more vulnerable emotion. Think of it almost like an older sibling protecting a younger child. Once we can name & acknowledge the protector part, we can then dive even deeper into exploring the Exile/Vulnerable part that likely feels unseen, unheard, and castrated from Self.

Every person has a go-to trauma response for any anxiety-inducing situation that begins in childhood. Usually, a person’s go-to trauma response stems from either a) witnessing someone in the family home use that same response overtime, b) feeling like the only way to feel “safe” is to respond this way, or c) a little bit of both.

“Love” is a word that holds different meanings for everyone, shaped by the homes we grew up in and how our caregivers expressed it. Maybe love was quiet, like your mom making your favorite dinner after a hard day, or loud, like your dad cheering you on at every game. Perhaps it was conditional, tied to achievement, or absent altogether. These early experiences become the lens through which we view love as adults. But here’s the empowering part: we can redefine love. By examining the love we were taught—its limits, patterns, and wounds—we can decide what love means to us now. As we align with our values, we make room for a love that feels right: whether it’s mutual respect, open communication, or deep connection. Love can evolve, just like us. ❤️

Our idea of ‘safety’ is often rooted in the dynamics of our childhood home—what we grew up with feels familiar, even if it wasn’t always healthy. As adults, it’s our job to redefine what safety looks like in relationships. This means digging deep to understand our values, choosing what truly aligns with us, and being brave enough to sit with the discomfort of change. Growth doesn’t feel safe—it feels new. But on the other side is the love you’ve always deserved. 🩷
