“You can be angry at the behaviors and actions that changed your family forever, and still love the soul of the person who made them.”

Unconditional Positive Regard isn’t the same as approval.

It doesn’t ask us to excuse harmful actions or pretend they didn’t leave lasting consequences.

It invites us to hold two truths at the same time.

A person’s choices can cause profound pain.

And a person’s inherent worth is not erased by the worst thing they have ever done.

This isn’t about minimizing accountability.
It’s about refusing to reduce a human life to a single moment.

Whether we’re speaking about addiction, trauma, betrayal, mental illness, or grief, I believe healing begins when we learn to separate the person from the problem.

Sometimes the hardest thing we will ever do is hold love and heartbreak in the same hand.

‘Separate the person from the problem. Hold the dignity. Tell the truth about the behavior.’

What does this quote bring up for you?

This reflection was born from the heartbreaking reality of su***de loss,
but I believe its truth reaches far beyond one circumstance.

People aren’t looking for perfect anymore. They’re looking for real.

Maybe that’s because, somewhere along the way, many of us learned to confuse what we’ve done with who we are.

I don’t believe they’re the same.

We can look honestly at patterns, behaviors, choices, trauma, relationships, and pain without ever losing sight of a person’s inherent worth.

That’s what Unconditional Positive Regard means to me.

If conversations about healing, growth and becoming more honest with ourselves resonate with you, I’d love for you to follow along.

Thanks for spending a few moments with me,
Dominique

Healing isn’t just surviving. It’s becoming light enough to laugh again.

What if healing isn’t just surviving?

One of the foundations of my work is separating the person from “the problem.”

A little confetti for love, belonging, and being fully yourself 🌈✨

Hi friend, I’m Dominique

I believe the human soul is good. Our struggles, wounds & experiences may shape us, but they do not define our worth.

As a trauma therapist and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy guide, I help people heal from trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety & life’s hardest seasons. My work combines evidence-based therapy with deep compassion, helping people reconnect with their resilience, reclaim their story & create lasting change.

This Pride Month, I’m celebrating authenticity, courage, community and the beautiful truth that everyone deserves to belong.

🌈💛 I’m glad you’re here.
