So many of us are moving through life on autopilot, disconnected from what we’re feeling and needing.
That’s why I encourage simple check-ins, like this one:

Take a moment to ask yourself:
☁️ What emotion am I carrying today?
💬 What have I not said that I wish I could?
🪫 What is my body asking for?

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about listening more closely.

Your body and mind are communicating with you constantly. The more gently you respond, the more supported you’ll feel.

Try checking in with yourself like you would with a close friend. You might be surprised what you hear.

Pause and check in right now—what’s one thing your body or heart is telling you?

In therapy, I often help clients rethink their idea of self-care. It’s not bubble baths and spa days (though those can be great)—
it’s nervous system regulation. It’s emotional hygiene.

Real self-care is:

Drinking water even when you’re not thirsty

Leaving a toxic group chat

Scheduling the doctor’s appointment you’ve been avoiding

Unfollowing someone who spikes your anxiety

Self-care is doing the hard, boring, unglamorous things that support your long-term well-being.

You are allowed to protect your peace, even if no one else understands it.

What does real self-care look like for you this week?

As a therapist, I’ve seen so many people beat themselves up for “relapsing” into old thoughts, habits, or emotional states.
Here’s the truth: healing isn’t linear.

You might feel better for weeks, then suddenly struggle again. This doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you’re processing deeply.
It means your nervous system is learning new patterns, and that takes time.

Every step back is an opportunity to meet yourself with more compassion than the last time.
That is progress.

✨ Reminder: You are not broken. You are becoming.

What’s one way your healing has surprised you lately?

People think resilience means standing tall. But sometimes, it’s just getting out of bed. Answering one text. Making one decision.

After trauma, your resilience may look quiet, small, even invisible to others—but that doesn’t make it any less powerful.

You don’t need to be “strong” every day. You just need to keep showing up for yourself, one breath, one step, one choice at a time.

One of the hardest things no one prepares you for after cancer is how unfamiliar your body feels.

Scars. Fatigue. Changed sensations. It’s like learning to trust a new version of yourself—one that doesn’t quite move or feel the same way.

Give yourself time. Speak gently to your body. Thank it for surviving, even when it feels foreign. Healing your relationship with your body is just as sacred as healing your body itself.

“This body may be different now, but it carried me through. And for that, I choose to honor it.”

I’ve spent decades helping trauma survivors untangle the lie that they’re “too damaged” or “too much.” Let me tell you this: You are not broken.

Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do—protect you. Freeze, flight, fawn, fight—these responses are survival, not weakness.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding what your body and brain have been through, and learning how to feel safe again.

When someone you love is grieving, your words won’t fix it—and that’s okay.

You don’t need the perfect thing to say. In fact, clichés often do more harm than good. What people need most in grief is presence. Not advice. Not solutions.

Try this instead: “I don’t know what to say, but I’m here.” Or “I’m thinking of you. Want me to sit with you?” That’s what heals.

The day I rang the bell, people celebrated. But no one saw what came next.

Sleepless nights. Fear of recurrence. The strange disorientation of re-entering “normal” life. The end of treatment isn’t the end of the healing—it’s a new chapter, often lonelier than the last.

If you or someone you love has finished treatment, offer patience. Offer listening. Recovery isn’t just physical—it’s deeply emotional, and often isolating.

There are moments, even after 20+ years of sitting with grief, when I still tear up in session.

Not because I’ve lost my professionalism—but because I’ve held space for human pain so deep, so sacred, it deserves reverence. Tears are not a weakness. They are a witness.

Therapists are not immune to pain. We are not detached robots in a chair. We are human beings who feel—deeply—and it is this humanity that allows us to truly connect and heal alongside our clients.

As a therapist and cancer survivor, I know that the emotional impact of a diagnosis goes far beyond physical illness. It shakes your identity. It rewrites your future. It tests everything.

But it also reveals resilience you didn’t know you had. Whether you’re just starting treatment or reflecting from the other side—your story is powerful. Your fight is sacred. You are not alone.
