the best fit for you. Kimberly Castelo, founder of Healing Moments Counseling, is an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and an AASECT Certified S*x Therapist. Along with this, she is a Certified Integrated Intimacy Professional, allowing her to work with clients on s*xuality and spirituality and the shame that sometimes comes with it. She is a wife, a parent to a wonderful daughter, an animal lover, and an overachieving city AND country girl (the best of both worlds, right?). She loves to laugh and refuses to take herself too seriously in this chaotic world. Kimberly loves deeply and takes her social justice work very seriously. Kimberly wholeheartedly supports the LGBTQIA+ community and is always looking for new ways to celebrate and be an advocate for this community, along with other marginalized communities. To Kimberly, life is a collection of moments that have the potential to heal our hearts and minds and bring more unity, both within ourselves and with others around us. Connection is necessary for a happy and healthy life, and that connection starts with you.

If you keep shutting down or lashing out, this might be why.

Your window of tolerance is the emotional range where you can think, listen, and respond effectively.

When you go above it → You’re overwhelmed, reactive, anxious.

When you go below it → You shut down, go numb, or dissociate.

💡 Regulating tip: When you feel yourself leaving your window, PAUSE. Deep breaths. Walk away with a plan to return. Make sure to voice your plan of return to your partner(s).

Secure relationships require emotional regulation.

🎯 Want to strengthen your regulation skills? Enroll in the Secure Attachment Path.

Are you reacting from your past or responding from your present self? 🕊️

So many of our relationship struggles aren’t really about the moment we’re in—they’re about the conditioning we picked up in childhood.

Here’s the truth:
➡️ Your first reaction often comes from old patterns—what you learned about conflict, emotions, and connection growing up.
➡️ Your second response is where your power lives—the intentional choice you make after you pause.

✨ Growth happens in that pause. ✨

Next time you feel triggered:
1️⃣ Take a slow breath.
2️⃣ Notice your first instinct.
3️⃣ Choose a response that reflects who you are today, not who you had to be then.

💬 Which one tends to show up for you more—your first reaction or your second response?

🎯 Ready to break free from old patterns? Schedule your free consultation today and start building healthier ways to connect.

The #1 relationship hack?

Regular check-ins.

Instead of waiting until things feel off, build connection before disconnection happens. Try these check-in questions:

💬 “How can I support you this week?”
💬 “When did you feel most connected to me recently?”
💬 “Is there anything weighing on you that we haven’t discussed?”

These simple questions strengthen trust, security, and emotional intimacy.

Is This Cheating? The Question That Splits Couples

One person thinks it’s cheating. The other thinks it’s harmless.

Emotional affairs often begin when partners have different unspoken rules about boundaries. Clear agreements protect trust.

One person might think following a bikini model on Instagram is totally fine, while the other feels it's a betrayal. That’s why it’s so important to define together: what counts as s*xual imagery, what’s okay, what’s not, and how you both feel safe.

Listen to Episode 35 now on the Roadmap to Secure Love for guidance on how to have this conversation. Follow for weekly secure love tools.

Stonewalling might feel like self-protection… but to your partner, it feels like rejection. 💔

Shutting down can happen fast when emotions run high — but silence creates distance, not safety.

The good news? You can press pause without building walls.

✔️ Take a moment to breathe.
✔️ Let your partner know you’re still here.
✔️ Come back and repair when you’re ready.

That’s how you create emotional security — together. 💡

🎯 Want help navigating tough conversations? Schedule a free consultation today.

Many couples never discuss their s*xual ethics — until it's too late.

Hidden expectations around p**n, social media, and emotional affairs can quietly destroy trust.

When couples skip talking about their s*xual ethic — what’s okay and what’s not — they leave huge blind spots.

Is p**n okay?

Is DMing an ex okay?

These unspoken expectations lead to painful betrayals because one person says, 'You cheated,' and the other says, 'I didn't know that was cheating.'

Listen to Episode 35 on the Roadmap to Secure Love Podcast and have this conversation before trust gets broken.
