Posted • “I’m fine” can be a reflex.
It’s short. It’s polite.
And it often hides what’s really going on.

You might say it because:
- You don’t want to burden others with your feelings.
- You’re not sure how you feel yet, & “fine” feels safer than explaining.
- You fear judgment or rejection if you share the truth.
- You’re used to minimizing your needs to keep the peace.

The problem? Every time you default to “I’m fine” when you’re not, you reinforce the idea that your real feelings are too much, inconvenient, or unwelcome.

So save this list for a quick guide for what you vanish say instead.

You don’t have to spill your life story every time someone asks how you are.
But even small shifts toward honesty can help you feel more grounded, connected, & seen.

Posted • .kellyvincent I don’t know about you, but I’ve found myself more easily triggered lately with everything happening around us.
It’s a reminder that we can’t always control what comes our way — but we can control how we meet it.
Pause. Breathe. Choose with intention.
That’s how we protect our peace in a world that feels anything but peaceful. 💛

Posted • Trauma healing looks like:

✨Cognitive: shifting negative thoughts & beliefs. I find this only happens once we’re able to access our window of tolerance, as our stories follow our nervous system state! Nervous system regulation skills and therapies like EMDR help with this!

✨Emotions: Attending to, learning about,
expressing & releasing stuck emotions.
✨Body: Noticing & responding to sensations within. Processing implicit memories stored in
body.
✨Nervous system: Developing an understanding of nervous system states, coping with survival states & expanding window of tolerance.
✨Relational: Accessing relationships which are
safe & secure, & embodying a sense of safety within connections. Accessing a nurturing relationship to self!
✨Habits: Letting go of numbing habits & using resources that are nurturing.
✨Identity & reintegration: Accepting all parts of ourselves & reintegrating into the world.

Posted • Research consistently shows that ruptures (i,e., disagreements or conflict) are a normal part of any relationship. What truly predicts the outcome isn’t whether conflict happens, but how we repair it. The most important thing is to clearly communicate about the issue, hear the other person’s perspective, and take accountability for your actions.

Sometimes people get stuck on how to even start the conversation, so here are some ways to ensure the other person is in the same mind-space as you to talk things through

We cannot force others to talk about a situation if they aren’t ready to do so themselves. Moreover, disagreements may exacerbate when the other person is forced into having a conversation and hasn’t had time to process the situation yet. If the person mentions that they are not ready to talk, just let them know you are ready and will wait for them until they feel the same. That is the most we can do.

One thing that really helps me center myself during difficult conversations is asking myself: What do I really need right now? Usually the answer is fixing the tension that the disagreement has caused and being on good terms again. I hold on to this need as I approach the conversation and communicate it with the other person. I truly believe that being honest, vulnerable, and authentic is crucial for a positive outcome during difficult conversations

How do you usually approach conversations after a disagreement? What works best for you?

Posted • So many people still think trauma only counts if it’s something ‘big.’
But trauma isn’t about what happened - it’s about what your nervous system could handle at the time.

For those of you who feel like you haven’t had ‘trauma’ but still deeply resonate with trauma symptoms (like shutdown, anxiety, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, or emotional reactivity)… this might give you the clarity you’ve been looking for.

Things you never thought to label as trauma like emotional neglect, being called too sensitive, or never feeling fully seen - are trauma.
Your body remembers what your mind tries to minimise.

Trauma looks different for everyone - healing starts with validation.
