When we feel disconnected, our primal question is activated asking: Am I safe, secure, loved, wanted, successful, or good enough. When activated we may notice patterns of fixing, overdrive, shutting down, numbing out, snapping blaming, getting defensive, people pleasing, or over apologizing.  
But this aren’t character flaws, they are forms of protection. These are learned responses from childhood, from moments when we didn’t feel safe, seen, or secure. 
This small practice of pause, naming, and asking isn’t about forcing calm. It’s about creating a little space between the trigger and the spiral. Because healing often looks like this: learning to meet the moment with more gentleness and more choice.”

Boundaries don’t automatically mean someone has it all together because boundaries are not about being “fixed” or flawless they’re about awareness and intention.

You can be overwhelmed, anxious, healing, or still figuring things out and also have boundaries. In fact, most people develop boundaries because they’ve struggled, been hurt, burned out, or learned the hard way what they can and can’t carry anymore.

Boundaries mean:

“I know my limits.”
“I’m learning what drains me and what restores me.”
“I’m choosing myself even when it’s uncomfortable.”

They do not mean:
- You never struggle
- You’re emotionally perfect
- You don’t get tired, triggered, or messy

Having boundaries just means you’re practicing self-respect, not that your life is neatly wrapped with a bow. Most of us with strong boundaries are still doing the work just with a little more protection around ourselves.

Many of the struggles we experience in relationships don’t start with conflict or communication. They start with a question, a quiet one, that lives underneath our reactions, our fears and our longing for connection.

Author Mike Foster calls this THE PRIMAL QUESTION!

New Year, New… Mindset?
Let’s Break Up With Traditional Resolutions

As we step into a new year, many of us feel the pressure to create big, sweeping resolutions lose the weight, get organized, stop a habit, change everything at once. And while the motivation is real, the follow-through often isn’t. Not because we’re lazy or unmotivated, but because resolutions tend to be all-or-nothing, unrealistic, and rooted in pressure rather than support.

From a therapeutic standpoint, here’s the truth:
“Resolutions don’t fail because you fail.
They fail because the system fails you.”

So this year, let’s break up with the old habit of setting rigid resolutions and try something more effective, sustainable, and compassionate.

💛 A Gentle New Year Reminder

You don’t need a new you.
You just need a kinder approach to the you who already exists.

If you’re hoping to build healthier habits, deepen self-trust, or make sustainable changes this year, we’re here to support you, one small, compassionate step at a time.

Happy New Year!!
From The Cord!

We all bear marks and scars from life’s hardships and trials. Comparison of pain can frequently keep us from reaching out for help because “someone has it worse.” I am here to help you walk through whatever pain has brought you to where you currently are, grief, anxiety, depression, or transitions in life. Taking the step to seek counseling is incredibly brave; it is stepping out and saying you are more than what may seem insurmountable right now.
I have experience working with addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, family challenges, boundary setting, burnout, career counseling, su***de, life change, self-care, spiritual fatigue, and connecting individuals to resources within the community. I also have been trained in EMDR and am able to complete Chemical Dependency Evaluations.
I believe that having compassion towards yourself allows you to begin owning your story and who you are. My focus as a practitioner is to empower you to see your strengths and meet your individual goals working with your whole person body, mind, soul, and spirit
