The best description I’ve ever heard.

Sometimes choosing peace means letting go of people, habits, or environments that bring negativity into your life. It’s not always easy and yes, some may see you as “the villain” for setting boundaries or walking away. But the truth is, your peace is priceless.

Protecting your energy doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you healthy. It makes you whole.

☮️ Surround yourself with people who bring light, not chaos.
☮️ Choose peace over drama.
☮️ Choose healing over hurt.

At the end of the day, your peace is worth more than their opinion. 💙

Parenting a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance can feel overwhelming, but small shifts can make daily life more manageable.

Strategies that can help:
• Change your wording: Instead of “You need to put on your shoes,” try, “I wonder if these shoes would feel comfy today?”

• Offer choices: “Do you want to brush your teeth before or after we read a story?”

• Pick your battles: Save energy for what truly matters. Not every hill is worth climbing.

These approaches lower anxiety, reduce meltdowns, and help your child feel safer and more in control.

PARENTS: What strategies have worked for you when your child resists demands?

Consistency beats intensity every time.
You don’t have to do everything perfectly—showing up in small, steady ways builds more lasting change than a single big effort.

In therapy, healing doesn’t come from one “aha moment.” It’s built in the little steps repeated over time: showing up, practicing tools, and giving yourself grace on the harder days.

Reminder: Progress is found in the process, not perfection.

Mindset matters.
The way we think shapes the way we feel, and the way we feel influences the way we act. Shifting from “I have to” → “I get to” can make even difficult tasks feel more manageable.

Try this today: Catch one negative thought and reframe it into a more balanced one. Small shifts add up to big changes in resilience and peace of mind.

What’s one mindset shift that has helped you recently?
