Love shouldn’t cost you your identity.

When caring for someone else becomes your entire identity, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs, dreams, and well being. Healthy love doesn’t require self abandonment.

Remember the advice every flight attendant gives before takeoff: put on your own oxygen mask first. It’s not selfish. It’s what makes you capable of helping someone else.

If this resonates with you, save this post, share it with someone who needs the reminder, and follow for more practical mental health insights and relationship tips.

You didn’t just lose a person. You lost the future you imagined, the version of yourself that learned to survive, and the life you thought you’d have.

Healing isn’t about getting them back or getting closure. It’s about getting you back.

If this resonates with you, follow me for more trauma informed mental health content and tools to help you heal and reclaim your life.

Parental sacrifice is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give. But when sacrifice is used to create guilt, obligation, or control, it stops being love and starts becoming manipulation. You can honor your parents’ sacrifices while still recognizing unhealthy patterns and setting healthy boundaries.

You already know why we call it the PVI International Gathering: That feeling of a few hundred nervous systems settling into the same place at the same time. The laughter over a shared lunch, the quiet nodding during a keynote, the coffee break conversation you're still thinking about months later.
It's the kind of co-regulation that a livestream simply can't replicate!
We're gathering again, this time in Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, for the 2026 PVI International Gathering: Navigating Conflict with a Resilient Nervous System.
📍 Hotel Meliá Sitges
🗓 Conference: September 22–24, 2026 (in-person or virtual tickets)
✨ Post-Conference Workshop Day: September 25, 2026 (in-person only)
Special ticket bundles available that include both the conference and the workshop day at a special rate!

Main Stage presentations and live Q&As from Stephen Porges, Frank Anderson, Deb Dana, Kate Woodsome, Verena Koenig, Woltemade Hartman, Eugene Ellis, Enrique Arellano Farias, Keira Barr, and Tayseer Hassoon & Sherin Khalil , plus an in-person Workshop Day with Niki Elliott, Jan Winhall, Ruby Jo Walker, Michael Allison, BG Mancini, and Tracy Stackhouse.

In-person seats and our special hotel rate are limited. If coming together as a global community is what you need right now, this is the moment to say YES!
