With Valentine’s Day that just passed, I wanted to share a gentle reminder to give yourself the love, compassion, and empathy that you give to your loved ones! ❤️

All of you deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. ❤️

🗣️ If you’ve heard of inner child work, it is also called parts work.

✨ Parts work is where you access at parts of yourself that may have been formed at different times in your life. Some parts formed to help you cope and adapt to difficult or traumatic experiences. Each part, like in a family system, has a role and relationship with you and your other parts.

🪴 In my practice with clients, I incorporate parts work to help clients gain deeper awareness and insight into their experiences and emotional wounds.

👉 I have found that although parts work may sound abstract at first, most people are able to access various parts of themselves through guidance from a therapist.

If you're currently working towards making a change in your mental health or personal life, this is a reminder that anything worth doing takes time! 🕰️

👉 If it’s taking a long time to change, it probably also took a long time to get to the point where you wanted to change. It makes sense that things may take longer if it’s been one way for a long time.

🪴 As a therapist, I walk alongside my clients on their healing journeys to help them accomplish their goals. It may not be faster, but you may have more compassion with yourself while working on your mental health goals with the help of a therapist.

When you ask for help from someone you trust, you are giving them an opportunity to feel closer to you. ❤️

✨ If you’ve ever helped someone in need, you probably know how rewarding it feels to know that you helped someone feel better in some way.

❤️‍🩹 Your loved ones also want to help and support you. Asking for help from people who care about you is a step towards connecting with them more.

🪴 If you are looking for help but don’t have anyone in your life you are comfortable talking to right now, reaching out to a mental health therapist is another way to connect more with yourself and others.

It's not too late to set intentions for 2023!

Intentions can be a more compassionate way to focus on the positive changes you are capable of making, and motivate you to keep doing what is working for you.

Here are 5 of my ideas of mental health intentions. What are your intentions this year?

If you’re going through a hard time right now, I see you. You will get through this. ❤️‍🩹

The good news is: as strong as our emotions are, they are also not permanent. Our emotions can change over time.

Allow your emotions to come and go when they’re ready. You will get through this moment in time. ❤️

The holidays can be both a time of togetherness and a time of loneliness.

💔 If you’ve experienced loss of an important family member or friend, the holiday message of “magic” and “cheer” can feel especially jarring.

✨ If you’re reading this today, hope it’s a gentle reminder that:

- You are not alone in your grief.
- It is possible to grieve and continue to live your life.
- Make time for both times of togetherness and times of grieving.
- Healing takes time and patience. ❤️‍🩹

If you have been experiencing depression for a long time, this can be a sign of chronically unmet needs.

➡️ Let me explain why that is.

When humans go through a short period of time when their needs are unable to be met, they may be able to use their ways of coping to survive the moment until their needs can be met.

But what happens if you're in a situation where your needs are chronically unmet? In this case, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness can begin to settle in, eventually leading to a state of depression.

💬 If you're noticing signs of depression, take a moment to ask yourself: What needs have not been met? What needs are you ignoring or dismissing in this moment?

✨ Your mental health and physical health are interconnected and both important. Take the time to notice the signs and actively do things to give yourself what you need - this leads to healing. ❤️‍🩹

If you struggle with making time for your self care consistently, you are not alone.

📝 Self care can feel like a chore that you have to do. Like another task on your to do list that you “should” do.

✨ It may be harder to make time for your own needs and feelings if you learned that they aren’t important. You may feel guilty prioritizing your own time.

🪴 If you can relate to this, be mindful of how you’re feeling. Practice listening to your emotions and do things to meet your own needs.

🌱 Work with a mental health professional if you struggle with self care chronically and want to learn how to tune into your emotions and needs. You are the MOST important person that you need to take care of! ❤️

Do you have a hard time setting boundaries or knowing when your boundaries are being crossed?

✨Boundaries may be hard for you if you grew up in an environment where:

- You were not asked about how you feel or think about activities or tasks you're involved in.
- Your parents did not seem to understand or listen to your thoughts and feelings.
- You were expected to comply with all rules or demands by parents without question.
- You were not given space for privacy and individual self-expression.

🪴Understanding what was missing in your upbringing can help to identify areas of growth. The good news is that boundary setting is a skill that can be learned!

01/12/2022

If you struggle with being emotionally open and vulnerable in your relationships, you are not alone.

🏡This may be related to growing up in a home environment where showing your emotions felt unsafe and led to negative consequences including:

- Being criticized or put down when having certain emotions
- Feeling ignored or dismissed when expressing emotions or needs
- Being punished for having needs or emotions

👉This can also include witnessing other children in your family receiving consequences for showing their emotions through words or behaviors. For example, watching a sibling get punished for expressing their feelings of anger or sadness may teach the other sibling to suppress their feelings to avoid punishment.

✨As an adult, close personal relationships with significant others or friends may be limited by how safe or comfortable you feel when certain emotions come up with the other person.

🌱Our emotions are key to connection. Working through your own individual barriers to being emotionally vulnerable with others can help you to build stronger, deeper relationships.

If you struggle with feeling your emotions fully, you are not alone.

🗣If your parents were dismissive or upset when you had feelings growing up, you may have learned that emotions were not allowed or unsafe to feel.

✨Sometimes parents can unintentionally teach this to their children.

👉 For example, a parent telling their child to be strong and not depend on others may inadvertently teach the child not to have needs or big feelings. This can make the individual have a hard time expressing their emotions and needs as they grow up.

✨ If it’s hard for you to feel your emotions, the good news is that this is a skill that can be learned as an adult. Working through your unmet emotional needs with a therapist in a safe space re-wires the brain to experience emotions in a different way. 🧠

Can you relate? If you answered YES, you are not alone.

✨ If you tend to sacrifice your own well being to please others, you may have learned to cope or survive stressful situations in your home environment by using the Fawn Response.

🧠 The fawn response is a natural response to stress. In healthy ways, the fawn response promotes compassion for others and ability to listen and empathize.

👉 When the fawn response becomes the main way of responding to stress or trauma, this can become unhealthy. This may look like sacrificing own needs to please others and having little or no boundaries in order to avoid conflict or negative reactions from others.

🌱 As an adult, getting unstuck from the Fawn Response starts with learning to sit with discomfort during conflict and setting boundaries according to your own needs, feelings, and values.

Do you have a harsh inner critic?

This can result from experiences in your upbringing including:
- Being dismissed or ignored when having emotions or needs
- Receiving criticism from a parent when having emotions or needs
- Being compared to others in a negative way
- Hearing caregivers talk about themselves or others in a harsh, critical way

If your parent modeled speaking about you, themselves, or others in a negative way, it makes sense that you may also learn and internalize this way of talking to yourself.

If your inner critic comes from an external source (like your parent), working with a therapist to distinguish your inner critic from your own voice can help you to become more authentically you.

Healing happens through connection with a trusted, attuned, and compassionate person.

👉Let me explain how this happens!

🌱 We are born into a relationship with a parent/caregiver, and learn about ourselves through interacting with the parent/caregiver.

✨ So it also makes sense that the most effective way to heal is through connecting in relationships with others who understand, validate, and reflect back who we truly are.

🌻 Healing relationships like this are not limited to your caregiver. This can be a relationship with a sibling, friend, mentor, significant other, or mental health therapist.

👩🏻‍💼 This is why a good therapeutic relationship with your therapist is essential to healing. When you feel heard, seen, and understood by your therapist, healing happens.
