If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is… an opportunity to get to know you, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but you for your happiness… you will realize that a little loneliness goes a long way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful you

Heal so you can see what is before you beyond the blinders of your wounds
Old wounds set to work when something in the present moment triggers old memories that are attached to old hurts. When this happens, we react to the new situation as though it’s an old one
There are a few ways to tell that an old wound is at play👇🏻
🩹 The conflict is constant, and always feels the same
🩹Your emotional reaction to something within the relationship is intense and out of proportion to whatever seemed to cause it
🩹Your reaction is difficult to shift
Few of us reach adulthood without having had our hearts broken, our ideas about love questioned and our spirits bruised. It’s how we deal with this that will determine the power our history has to keep hurting us. In fact, by providing an opportunity for self-reflection, learning and experimentation, past hurts can be the gateway to stronger relationships – but this does take effort, a willingness to explore and the courage to experiment with a different way of being

Early on in my education and career I thought my job was to fix the problem, make it go away and then everything will be all better for my
Client. Ta-Da!🎩 🐇
Boy was I wrong! While there are some issues or presenting problems that can be solved or eliminated completely through therapeutic intervention, more often than not, therapy is really about obtaining the insight, skills and tools needed to find RELIEF from your symptoms (anxiety, depression,PTSD, ADHD) rather than total elimination of your symptoms
You can spend years in therapy and still get anxious from time to time, still engage in self-shaming or negative self-talk & still feel depressed when things don’t go as planned. You may still have moments when your “old self” is fighting for the spotlight. This doesn’t mean you have regressed or therapy “didn’t work.” YOU’RE HUMAN & you’re living through one hell of a time right now. There will always be speed bumps and setbacks.
The difference is, you will know how to cope with it effectively. You will have patience and compassion for yourself and the ability to manage whatever life throws at you
How do you define success in therapy?

Everyone has a burdening past. And just because some might carry their emotional trauma well, it doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy
The devastating truth is, there is not a single person on this planet that isn’t carrying a little sadness in their souls. That’s exactly why we need to learn how to be more compassionate and kind to one another. Instead of comparing each other’s progress, we can support and root for each other’s success
Frankly, no one else can completely understand what you’re going through, as you can never fully see others’ pain and agony.
What we all need to realize is that no one’s pain is insignificant or meaningless. We need to understand that different people carry their burdens differently. What seems like a child’s play for you might be incredibly unbearable for someone else, and vice versa

Growth does not always feel 100% empowering. An important part of healing is to hold space for feelings of grief that may arise when coming to realize how disempowered, scared & unsafe your younger self really was. Meet your inner child with love, patience and acceptance. Reassure them that you did the best you could at the time with what you knew

It’s good advice to not give advice. I teach my clients to be their own therapist. Direct answers to specific questions make it too easy to short-circuit the process of helping clients do their own work & find their own solutions

All of the above are 💯 normal and to be expected responses rn
To normalize doesn’t mean we have to like or accept any of this or be okay with how it’s been F-ing with us for the past 9 months. Rather, to normalize is to give ourselves the patience, kindness and validation that what we have been thinking, feeling and experiencing both internally and externally is OKAY and NORMAL considering the situation and how long lasting this state of chaos has become
