Life isn’t always either/or. It’s often both/and.

It’s perfectly normal to hold two truths at the same time 🙏🏼

How often have we given the best version of ourselves to outsiders, and are left with no energy for those we love? I guess that we somehow feel that those who know us will understand. However, the relationships that are most important to us, deserve the best version of us.

Spend your time and energy like you spend money - invest in the most important relationships first.

Emotional labor often remains unseen, yet being the one to remember and execute it all is exhausting.

It’s the invisible glue holding relationships and homes together, but it comes at a cost when it rests on one person alone.

Women deserve a lot more credit for the things they do seemingly effortlessly, that keep the household in order.

From deciding what to cook, knowing who has what planned, buying gifts, keeping a mental note of what needs to be restocked, booking appointments, making reservations, anticipating needs and having back up plans - women still carry a larger emotional load.

Women deserve recognition, reciprocity and rest.

The benefits of therapy extend far beyond the person in therapy. Our relationships may improve as a result of us working on our own challenging patterns or we may break generation cycles for future generations.

One symptom does not make a diagnosis. Not only must there be a number of symptoms, but these symptoms also need to cause impairment in some area of functioning -e.g. work or relationships.

Social media can lead us to incorrectly self-diagnosing without fully understanding a condition.

Do you love your children enough to go to therapy for them? So you can model healthier coping and healthier relationships?

The best gifts we can give to our children isn’t money - it’s the skills to lead a healthy life with healthy relationship patterns.

Many parents seem to view their child wanting to go to therapy as a personal failure. However, it helps to see it as your child struggling, yet wanting to feel better.

Manu people are dismissive when their partner suggests therapy. Remember, it’s possible for one partner to be happy in a marriage, while the other isn’t. Your partner wanting to go to couples therapy is a sign that they want to work on the relationship.

Don’t wait for them to give up before deciding to seek help.
