If I can do it, so can you 👀

Today’s exposure: touching the bathroom door AFTER washing my hands 😭

The goal isn’t to feel certain that something is “clean.” It’s practicing being okay with not knowing.

What should I do next? 👇

ERP should be individualized and done at an appropriate level for you. This series is for education/inspiration, not a personal treatment plan.

POV: your therapist said “thoughts are just thoughts” and then you went to the Everglades. 🐊😂

Suddenly we’re testing the theory.

POV: you’re leaving Thailand and suddenly the entire plane starts filling with what looks like SMOKE 😭✈️

Tell me why I immediately thought, “Welp. This is how it ends.”

Turns out it was just condensation/fog caused by the humid air meeting the plane’s cold air conditioning. Completely normal. Completely harmless.

Would’ve been LOVELY information to have approximately 30 seconds earlier. 😂

Thailand really said one last adventure before you go 🇹🇭✈️

There’s something humbling about realizing your way of life is only one of thousands.

Different beliefs. Different traditions. Different ways of finding meaning, honoring what came before us, and understanding the world around us.

Travel has a way of reminding you that the life you know so well is only one tiny piece of a much bigger picture.

And I think there’s something really beautiful about that. 🇹🇭✨

The Target Starbucks barista wrote “stay safe” on my cup and instead of thinking “aww, how nice,” I spent my entire Target trip wondering if it was a warning and refused to drink my coffee until I got home. ☕️😂

A tiny reminder that slowing down counts too 🐦✨

Refilling the bird feeders has become one of those little rituals that pulls me out of my head and back into the moment.
No productivity. No pressure. Just caring for something small and letting that be enough for today.

Sometimes healing looks less like “doing more” and more like noticing the quiet things around you. 🌿

Me and my clients: processing emotions, healing our relationships with our bodies…
and eating snacks when we’re hungry because exposure therapy shouldn’t include ignoring basic human needs ☕️🍿

A huge part of healing is rebuilding body trust — learning to listen to body cues instead of overriding them. Hunger, thirst, fatigue, needing a break… those aren’t distractions from healing, they’re part of it.

I also think there’s value in modeling that in the therapy room. Meeting our bodies’ needs without shame, apology, or pushing through sends the message that care doesn’t have to be earned 🤍
