Taking the leap — literally! 🙈
At Estes Therapy, we ask our clients to take emotional leaps — to be vulnerable, to trust, and to reach for connection. So our team decided to experience that feeling firsthand… by taking the leap ourselves on the flying trapeze! 🎪

Just like in couples counseling, flying requires courage, trust, and perfect timing between partners. As Jennine Estes Powell writes in Help for High Conflict Couples:

“This [the trapeze] can also be terrifying and dangerous for the acrobats. On the other hand, when done well, it is an incredibly graceful experience in which the acrobats create a connection together that is safe, fun, and beautiful… It's the same for relationships. The way we inform, jump, reach, and catch our partner in times of vulnerability is vital.”

When we face fear and trust someone to catch us — whether in the air or in our relationships — that’s where real connection happens. 💫
