Anxiety can be infectious.

If someone in a relationship has an anxious voice in their head, always telling them something is wrong, they might start acting like something is wrong.

Communicating about anxiety stops the spread and helps your partner help you.

If your relationship could use some help, Will can help!

Anxiety isn’t just “nerves.”
It’s your mind and body sounding the alarm that something feels unsafe — even when there’s no real danger.
That alarm gets stuck in the ON position, which is why symptoms pop up in your stomach, your jaw, your thoughts, and your sleep.

Therapy helps you:
* Understand what’s fueling the alarm (past experiences, stress, habits, even perfectionism).
*Learn ways to calm your body’s stress response so it’s not running the show.
*Untangle anxious thoughts that keep looping and stealing your energy.
*Build tools to handle triggers, so the small stuff stops feeling like a tidal wave.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through these symptoms.
With the right support, your brain and body can learn to stand down.
Middle Path’s therapists are here to help you feel safe in your own mind and body again.

Connection Doesn’t End with Loss

When someone we love dies, we often think we have to "let them go" in order to heal. But grief isn’t about forgetting — it’s about finding new ways to stay connected.

You can still talk to them.
Write to them.
Hold something they loved.
Look through their photos.
Listen to their music.
Create a small space to honor them.
And most importantly, share stories with others who knew and loved them too.
Grief is relational — and so is healing.
Love doesn’t end when a life does.

What’s one way you’ve stayed connected to someone you’ve lost?

Sometimes motherhood feels like being split into a zillion roles: snack maker, bedtime negotiator, finder of the missing shoes.

But underneath all of that, I’m still me.

Staying connected to myself isn’t selfish, it’s vital. A walk, a journal page, some gangster rap in the car. It doesn’t have to be big (or serious) to be sacred. Because when I remember who I am, I show up as a better version of myself for everyone else too.

So here’s your gentle reminder: don’t forget yourself in all the glorious chaos. You’re allowed to be whole.

When you're grieving, your body and mind are working overtime to adjust to the reality of your loss. It’s completely normal to feel exhausted and need more sleep than usual. This is your nervous system doing the hard work of trying to protect and heal you.

Sometimes, well-meaning friends or family try to cheer you up by inviting you to parties, gatherings, or casual hangouts. They might offer to talk—but you might not be ready. And that’s okay.

Grief looks different for everyone. Some people can ease back into social life quickly. Others need more time. The most important thing is to check in with yourself and honor what you need.

Self-care is not optional right now. It’s essential.

Ever have the same fight on loop?
Same triggers.
Same shutdowns.
Same tears.

This isn’t just miscommunication—it’s a pattern.

One partner shuts down.
The other pushes harder.
You both feel hurt… and misunderstood.

Let’s change that.

Therapy can help you understand why it’s happening and give you tools to break the cycle—for good.
