Ever wondered what happens in a therapy session? 🤔 It may look like play, but each activity is carefully chosen to build skills.

Golf, ring toss, and even darts… 🎯 These playful activities are more than games. They’re opportunities for kids to practice planning, turn-taking, regulating emotions, and pushing through challenges — all in a safe and supportive therapy space 🌱

Therapy is messy. Healing is messy. Growth is messy.

Messy is uncomfortable... But it is necessary. It's also so worth it (once you've muddled through the mess!).

Getting an ID is a simple task for many, but for one Pretoria mom and her non-verbal autistic son, it became a moment of inclusion, dignity, and quiet triumph.

Sometimes the system works beautifully, and when it does, it deserves to be celebrated.

As we go into the weekend, remember... rest isn't the reward, it's a part of the journey. Take care of yourself, take time to recharge, take time to rest 🌱

No one taught most of us how to set boundaries without yelling.

We were shown that authority means raising your voice.
That control equals compliance.
That frustration gets louder until someone gives in.

So if staying calm feels hard—it’s not just you.
It’s because this is something many of us are still learning.

Learning to pause.
Learning to breathe.
Learning to hold a limit without losing yourself.

And that learning takes time, practice, and self-compassion.

It’s okay if you don’t always get it right.
What matters is that you’re trying to do it differently.

✨ For more support with calm, connected boundaries and emotional regulation, my book Guidance from The Therapist Parent is here to help.
