Well, that escalated.

Saw a version of this and had to hop on the trend with my own 💛

When did you last plan a date she didn’t have to ask for?

Remembering, organising and making things happen is work—even when it’s something lovely. If your wife always plans the dates, holidays and time together, that becomes part of her mental load, too.

Take the initiative. Show love in the ways that matter to her. 🤍

This isn't even really about therapy. I've been out there, and the dating scene can be bleak. Men who text "hey" once a week. Men who disappear and come back like nothing happened. Men with unchecked addictions who show up as 2 different people sober them and drunk them. And it doesn't stop at low effort.

Controlling, disrespectful, straight-up abusive behaviour gets brushed off as "he's just like that."

Here's what I know: when your self-esteem is low, that behaviour starts to feel normal. You start grading on a curve. You explain it away, and you stay.

So the work isn't about becoming the "perfect" girl. It's about getting to the point where low effort, red flags and abuse don't get a seat at your table. Self-esteem first, then dating 💛

Welcome to the Therapist Haunted House 👻

Behind the calm voice and the cozy office, we are just humans with feelings, snacks, and a very specific kind of tired. I love this work more than I can say. It also comes with some truly haunting moments that only other therapists (and the people who love us) understand.

Swipe through, and tell me which one got you. 🖤

SNOW in October - Wet socks, cold coffee, and a lunch I inhaled in five minutes. None of it went to plan, and it was still a good week.

I spend my days helping people be less hard on themselves, and I still need the reminder. 🍂

What if it works out, just not the way you pictured?

The joys of living somewhere that goes from 20 degrees to snow storms in a matter of hours ✨️🧡

“Are you open to another opinion?” A little question that can shift a whole conversation. 🤍

Would you try it?

A little Thanksgiving reminder 🍂❤️

Family, gratitude, boundaries, and a regulated nervous system. Sometimes it's a lot to juggle. 😂

Be kind to yourself this weekend. You're allowed to enjoy the good and make space for the complicated.

What helps you stay grounded during family gatherings? 🤎

With Thanksgiving coming up I thought it might be time for a little body image reminder 🍂
