When you think back to childhood, what messages did you receive—spoken or unspoken—about your worth?
How did your caregivers respond when you had needs?
What did you learn about asking for help?
When you feel someone pull away, what do you immediately believe about yourself?
What story about your worth comes up when someone gets close?
Which parts of your self-esteem feel dependent on others’ approval?

What had surprised you most about your inner world this year so far: your thoughts, emotions, reactions, or quiet realizations?

Consider moments when you caught yourself thinking or feeling differently than before.

Perhaps you’ve noticed a new sense of calm in situations that once overwhelmed you, or maybe an old trigger resurfaced in an unexpected way?

“Am I living in alignment with who I am now—not who I was or who I thought I should be?”

At the beginning of 2025, we may have created some fabulous goals or expectations at the start of the year.

But as we approach the end of the year, many of us may feel misaligned with what we thought would bring fulfillment.

This is a chance to revisit:
• What values feel most alive and central?
• What have you outgrown emotionally or psychologically?
• Where have you evolved without giving yourself credit?

Perhaps 2025 was a year of recalibration: releasing, reassessing, and rediscovering.

Then 2026 holds the promise of alignment.

2026 can be your year to live from the center rather than the edges—to act in accordance with your truest values and the person you’ve been slowly becoming.

Are the Sunday Scaries becoming a regular visitor in your life? You’re not alone! The anxiety that creeps in as the weekend winds down can be a real buzzkill. But fear not, there are ways to combat those Sunday Scaries and start your week on a positive note.

Today, turn your Sunday into a self-care ritual. Dedicate time to activities that relax and rejuvenate you. Whether it’s taking a long bath, reading a book, practicing yoga, or enjoying a hobby, self-care can help you unwind and shift your focus away from work-related worries.

Your Monday will thank you!

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, many of us are carrying a mix of grief, fear, anger, and exhaustion, not just over one event, but over what feels like a growing pattern of political violence and the erosion of safety when public speech is met with harm.

We are unsettled, because this strikes at foundational values: freedom, respect, and embracing disagreement.

At the same time, there is a longing for unity, for empathy, for leaders and communities to step out of their silos, to mourn together, to acknowledge hurt, to reckon with how divisiveness feeds into violence, and to find some way forward that preserves both justice and compassion.

To all the therapists, counselors, and mental health workers—thank you for showing up every day with compassion, courage, and presence.

The work you do is often unseen, but its impact runs deep—helping people find their voice, their strength, and their healing.

You hold space for pain, walk alongside struggle, and celebrate growth in ways that change lives.

Here’s to honoring the profound, meaningful work you do.

As therapists, we carry stories that are not our own.

Remember: holding space for another’s pain does not diminish your light—it proves its strength.

During this Labor Day weekend, take time to refill, because your healing presence is only possible when you, too, are nourished.
