When is the last time I felt this way?

What was happening? What did I do?

Did things work out?

What role did I have in things working out? What role did I play?

Life can feel so difficult sometimes. Everything feels like it’s falling apart and you don’t know how you’re going to get through the day, let alone get through this tough time in general.

But here’s the thing… you already have.

You’ve done it before, and you can do it again. You will do it again.

Will it be easy? Probably not.

Will you feel lost at times? Probably so.

Will all of your emotions make sense? Eh, maybe not.

But are all of your emotions and thoughts understandable? Absolutely.

When life gets tough, try asking yourself these questions and see what comes up. You might be surprised. And my hope is that you feel a little more hopeful and confident after answering these.

✨ Update!! ✨

With some life changes, business is needing to change to move along with it. One of the biggest reasons I started my own private practice was so I could do what I love while also having the flexibility to take care of those I love. Family and parenting has to remain in the center. 🤍

With that being said… Moving forward, I will be working more afternoon/early evenings. The tentative schedule for now is:

Monday: 12-6
Tuesday: 12-5
Wednesday: 8:30-1:30
Thursday: 12-4
Friday: 9-12

If you have any questions about counseling, please reach out! Still working 100% remote and providing telehealth therapy throughout the state of Missouri. 💻

The thief of joy is comparison,

We have all fell into the trap, the comparison trap…

What is he doing? How is she doing it?
Look at their family, their house, their car, what they’re doing…

Social media doesn’t help.

People in your life who are making you feel less than do not help.

When we start comparing, it has an effect on how you see yourself, your family, and makes you feel less than.

Though, if you can slow down and focus on what matters to you, your family, your wants, your needs, there is no need to compare.

Sure, someone else might be going on more lavish vacations than you - but you don’t know what they’ve been doing to get there. Have they sacrificed things to save the money to go? Have they went into debt in order to go? You don’t know.

This is true for vacations, but this also applies to most other things, too.

If you want to stop the comparison trap, be true to yourself, here’s a few things I would encourage you to try to do.

1️⃣ Focus on what you have, practice gratitude, and notice the accomplishments you have had along the way.

2️⃣ Take some time to reflect on your values. (Look up a list on Google or ask AI) and identify the top 3-5 values you have. Are you living by these? Write them out. Be specific. Come up with ways you can continue to live by these or specific ways you can act on these.

3️⃣ Work on self-esteem. When our self-esteem is healthy, when we feel more certain, then we don’t care so much about what others are doing or not doing.

Peace comes from within. 🤍

I’m not saying that the reason why you don’t remember parts of your childhood is because of childhood trauma,

But I’m also not saying that it’s not either.

When you experience childhood trauma, it is very common to have lapses in memory.

Why? Because your brain was trying to protect you. Parts of it “shut down” and those memories get pushed wayyyy down.

Sometimes, therapy can bring these memories back up, but not always.

Regardless….

If there are behavioral or emotional patterns (like people-pleasing, taking on too much responsibility for others comfort) that are getting in the way of you feeling happy and at peace,

Therapy can help.

Even if you can’t identify the place where it all started or why it all started,

We can still explore this and learn different ways of doing things that feel more peaceful and comforting for you.
