If I’ve supported you in any way—whether as your therapist or colleague—and you feel comfortable, I’d be grateful for a review on Facebook or Google. Supporting local small businesses means so much, and your feedback helps me continue pursuing the work I love. 🫶🏻🙏🏼🏹

Co-regulation isn’t about fixing someone.
It’s about showing up — calm, steady, and present — so their nervous system can remember what safety feels like.
That’s what secure attachment really is: not perfection, but presence.

Can you sit with your sadness?

Richard couldn't. After losing his wife of 40 years, he went on 28 first dates in 28 days. Joined every social group. Stayed busy from morning to night.

Anything to avoid being alone with his grief.

The problem? Every time sadness came up, he'd immediately distract himself. A nostalgic memory of his wife would surface, he'd choke up—then instantly shift into "project manager mode" and plan his next date.

In this episode, we gave him an assignment that changed his perspective:

Imagine having breakfast with his late wife. Sit in their spot. Talk to her about what it's been like without her. Stay with the feelings—even when they hurt.

What he discovered in just one week: alternating between despair and intimacy, crying for the first time, and finally understanding what grief actually requires.

You can't skip the hard feelings. You have to sit with them to move through them.

You don't have to have it all together to deserve help. Whether you're struggling a little or a lot, support is for you, too.

You are worthy of care today, tomorrow, and always. 💙

Sometimes we say "happy wife, happy life" when we're really just abandoning ourselves to avoid conflict.

But there's a difference between honoring your partner's happiness and erasing your own needs. One creates connection; the other creates resentment. A healthy marriage isn't about whose needs win—it's about building a life that genuinely honors both.

In this week's column, I help a reader who moved across the country for his wife without voicing what it would cost him. Now he's trapped between the life he left behind and the marriage he's trying to save.

And now he’s RESENTFUL + his wife won’t move back.

As I say in my column, this isn’t a question of geography as much as it’s a question of: What kind of marriage do we want to have when we each have differing needs?
