It took me a long time to get to this point. The goal is not to do all these things at once and think it’ll be a success.

We want to start slow, implement small things that make our next day just a little bit lighter. Eventually, it will become a habit- totally second nature.

It doesn’t have to be cooking or putting your clothes out- that’s just my shtick. Make it your own!

We just have to start somewhere- wherever your somewhere is♥️

If you’re into setting intentions for the New Year…🖤

Intention lives in the thinking part of the brain. Emotional patterns live in deeper, automatic parts of the brain. Those deeper systems learn through experience and repetition, not insight alone.

The brain doesn’t change because we want it to… it changes because we repeatedly show it a new experience.

I always get asked this question around the holidays!! Figured a post would be nice.

Therapists cannot accept actual gifts from clients for many reasons. It could impact the work, it has a risk of blurring boundaries, there’s a power imbalance (therapists hold professional authority), etc. etc.

Some more “gift” ideas:
•writing a hand-written letter
•writing an email
•expressing gratitude in person

I want to be very clear and say that you are not required or expected to do anything for your therapist EVER!!!!!! These are just helpful tips if you feel compelled to. Your therapist does not and *should* not expect any form of gift or letter from you. ♥️

We don’t always need to problem solve, to fix, to teach a lesson. Sometimes we just need to be there. Be present. Be supportive. Be safe. That’s all humans need. Connection & love. Becoming a mom has only amplified my care and devotion to my clients and their well-being. I hope to help heal those who always deserved this type of love & care.

I’m a bit tired of the shame spiral our society puts on one another, which in turn we then put on ourselves. Whether it starts with our parents/caregivers, friends, significant others, random people on the internet- it’s really unfortunate.

You can’t shame anyone into doing anything meaningful… they might do it, but it will most likely be met with resentment or inauthenticity.

Obviously this is nuanced and does not pertain to every situation ever in the world.

I know we try to be well-intentioned when trying to validate a loved one!!

Sometimes, however, it doesn’t come out as we hope it would. I see this show up in my office so often and I figured I would share some helpful tips with you guys ❤️

Here are some more tips to help you navigate through validating someone😊

1. Repeat back what you hear
“So what I’m hearing is…”

2. Acknowledge their feelings
“That sounds really overwhelming.”

3. Normalize it
“Anyone in your shoes would feel that way.”

4. Lead with empathy
“I can imagine how frustrating that must’ve been.”

5. Don’t minimize
Swap “It’s not a big deal” with “I get why this feels big.”

6. Thank them for sharing
“I appreciate you trusting me with this.”

7. Hold the silence
Sometimes validation = just being present.

8. Ask curious questions
“Can you tell me more about what that was like?”

9. Match their tone
Honor their pace + energy.

10. Validate the courage
“It took a lot of bravery to open up.”

1. the summer I turned pretty…
2. I do this bc it’s what I enjoy receiving from others (idc, hate me for it😗)
3. When you’re making meals for everyone, it just gets so overwhelming and frustrating and 4. I find myself never wanting any of it!
I’m so busy during the day I don’t have time to worry until my head hits the bed!
5. I’m technically lactose intolerant and partially allergic to dairy BUT ITS SO GOOD can you blame me?

I thought about doing this trend and adding a fun college picture but instead I decided to think about her, the princess fairy bride.

I wish I could talk to her- tell her everything will be ok🥹
