A nervous system can learn that being misunderstood feels dangerous. A life of trying to fit in, feel seen, wanted, be good enough, validated is exhausting so we slip into behaviors and ways of thinking that protect us. For some, no, it’s not just a little social anxiety. For some of us it’s been reinforced (even if it’s not true) that we aren’t good enough, or don’t fit it, or we’re too much, etc.

Many enter relationships already bracing for rejection.

If this sounds like you, it might be time to start getting curious about your relationships, your nervous system, and ways to improve your communication style so you can achieve that connection and understanding you’re looking for.

Looking for a therapist who gets it? These are things we work on with others daily. We want to help you get there. Link in the bio.

Only a few tickets left!!! We’ll be at this event and we’re really excited about it ✨

If you’re local, love Sleep Token, and want to check out something a little different—this is a really cool space with some creative energy behind it.

We’ll be there if you want to:
• ask questions about therapy
• learn about our groups
• or just come vibe and say hi (there may even be a little something to obtain 👀)

Come hang out. No pressure, plenty of awkwardness (from me—Erika—I’m awkward in the wild and I love Sleep Token)

Will we see you there 👀

We’ve been a little quiet on here—but not in real life.

Behind the scenes, it’s been sessions, growth (Erika had a baby last June!), hard conversations, and a lot of people doing really meaningful work.

We’re back ✨

And we’ve got some things coming up (including a vendor event we’re excited about 👀)

If you’re new here:
We work with creatives, high achievers, and people who feel a lot—and want therapy that actually makes sense.

Not being able to set good boundaries can cause us to feel a multitude of things. Burnt out, financially drained, depressed, unfulfilled, worthless, high stress, feelings of intense responsibility, etc. The list goes on with how harmful it can be. We may find ourselves building resentment, having trouble in relationships, and even emotional outbursts. The truth is, it may not feel easy or great to set boundaries at first but it is leading the way to a healthier and happier you. Learning how to set boundaries takes time. If this is something that is bothering you and you are feeling stuck, it may be time to talk to someone about it.

**If setting boundaries may cause a situation to become unsafe, it may be helpful to navigate with a therapist, counselor, advocate, or medical provider who can support you with a safety plan and connect you to resources.
