Fawning often hides in plain sight. Awareness is the first step toward change.
The fawn response isn’t always obvious. It can look like struggling to say no, automatically agreeing to things you don’t actually want to do, or putting other people’s comfort ahead of your own needs and boundaries. It’s not weakness. It’s a survival strategy your nervous system learned to stay safe and connected.

But what once protected you can also quietly exhaust you. It can leave you feeling unseen, resentful, or disconnected from what you truly want.

Noticing when you’re fawning is powerful. It creates space to pause, check in with yourself, and choose differently—slowly, gently, without shame.

In your 20s you’ll be told to hustle, grind, and push through.
It’s very important that you also take your pain seriously.

Seeking treatment was one of the bravest and most life-changing choices I ever made. It didn’t derail my life. It gave me one.

Getting help didn’t make me weak. It made me well.
It gave me clarity, freedom, and a future that wasn’t ruled by food or my body.

So if you’re in your 20s and struggling:
It’s very important that you reach out.
It’s very important that you don’t wait until it gets worse.
It’s very important that you choose yourself.

Changing how we talk about our bodies is more powerful than we realize. The words we use shape how we see ourselves and how safe others feel around us. When we shift from criticism to compassion, comparison to curiosity, and judgment to respect, we create space for healing.

Shifting body talk helps everyone feel safer. Safer to exist, safer to be seen, and safer to be human just as they are.

You don’t always choose your first thought.
But you do get to choose your response to it.

Many of our automatic thoughts are just old wiring.
Protective patterns that once kept us safe.
Habits our nervous system learned a long time ago.

They aren’t facts.
They aren’t instructions.
They’re information.

When you notice a thought without trying to fix it, fight it, or push it away, something shifts.
You create space.
You create choice.
You take your power back.

Hi everyone! To wrap up our Winter Coping Skills series, we have Zoe who is one of our licensed therapists at EveryBody Psychotherapy NYC.

Zoe enjoys the winter months, and has found benefits in following Scandinavian practices, similar to Lauren! She appreciates the practices of Hygge and follows their belief that there is “no bad weather, just bad clothing”. ❄️ Zoe enjoys spending time outside in the winter and embraces the benefits of sunlight even in the cold months.

Zoe follows the winter solstice, and uses the winter months as a time to focus on rest and rejuvenation to prepare for the blossoming that comes with spring! She focuses on how nature impacts our nervous systems and appreciates the cues that nature provides in terms of mental health and the seasons.

Zoe also recommends the book “Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times”, by Katherine May, as a resource to learn more about how these naturally more restorative times of the year can be helpful in our mental health journeys!

As always, we’d love to hear some of your winter coping skills in the comments. We hope that learning about how our providers navigate the winter months has helped you navigate them as well. 🩵

Rest isn’t a pause from progress, it’s part of how progress happens.
Your body repairs, your brain resets, and your nervous system finds balance when you rest. That’s how clarity, creativity, and energy return.

Rest fuels your next step.
Rest is part of the work.

You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to justify it. You’re allowed to slow down, soften, and restore so you can keep moving forward with intention.

We are excited to announce an upcoming in-person group with Amileah and Laura!

EMBODY is a group for transgender and gender-diverse young adults who are navigating body image and disordered eating.

Are you looking for a space where your identity is affirmed and your struggles are understood? This group offers support, safety, and community while exploring the connection between gender, body image, and eating. We will work together to build coping skills, strengthen our support systems, and to connect with others who truly get it.

Our goal is to create a compassionate space to heal, grow, and feel less alone. ❤️ Reach out now to learn more!

Boundaries in early parenthood protect both you and your baby. 🤍

Saying no, limiting visitors, asking for space, or choosing what feels safest isn’t selfish—it’s protective.
The postpartum period is a time of healing, bonding, and adjustment, not obligation.

You’re allowed to prioritize rest, mental health, and your baby’s needs.
Healthy boundaries help you show up more grounded, present, and supported—and that benefits everyone.

Hi everyone, this week’s winter coping skills come from one of our clinical interns, Marci!

Marci enjoys creating a cozy atmosphere in their space by lighting candles throughout the house. Marci finds joy in sharing meals with friends or neighbors, and sees value in maintaining community throughout the cold winter months. Like many of us, Marci also enjoys spending time outside despite the cold by cross country skiing ⛷️.

As always, we’d love to hear how you navigate the winter in the comments! We hope some of the things that help us navigate the cold, have been able to help you too!

Taking up space is not something you have to earn. You don’t need to shrink—in your body, your voice, or your presence—to make others comfortable. You are allowed to exist fully, loudly or quietly, confidently or unsure, exactly as you are. Your needs matter. Your boundaries matter. And you don’t have to apologize for being seen, heard, or taking up room in the world.

Happy New Year 🤍

You don’t need a complete reset to begin again.

January 1st doesn’t have to mean big goals, strict plans, or pressure to transform. It can be a pause. A breath. A moment to notice where you are and what you need right now.

Move into this year gently. Let growth be slow. Let intentions be flexible. And remember—progress isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about coming home to yourself.

Wishing you a year rooted in self-compassion, honesty, and care. ✨

Hi everyone! This week’s coping skills come from our admin, Mary.

Mary finds that reading, baking, and journaling help her get through the cold winter months. She started reading Game of Thrones winter! She also has a goal of getting back into skiing. It can be hard to find ways to be active when it is so cold, but Mary is looking forward to getting back on the slopes!

As always, we’d love to hear your winter coping skills. Share some ideas in the comments of what helps you navigate the winter, and let us know if you’ve tried any of ours!
