What is something you believe about yourself that is negative and most likely a lie? It usually starts with “I’m not, I won’t, or I can’t.” When we believe these things it changes the atmosphere in our home and the actions we take.

You don’t have to comment but it is something to think about. How can you stop believing this lie?

Signs therapy is actually working:
-You’re able to identify/process what is underneath the anger you are feeling
-You pause before responding
-You say no to something you didn’t want to go to or do
-You express something to someone that hurt you or bothered you that you wouldn’t have before
-You’re getting better sleep
-You find yourself challenging some of your negative thoughts more
-You’re internal dialogue is a bit more kind
-When someone is mad at you, it doesn’t ruin your entire day anymore or you’re able to move past it with more ease
-You are able to identify some positive things about yourself that you may have minimized before or didn’t give yourself credit for

*Progress is not always as big as you’d like or as loud as you expect but it doesn’t mean it is helping.

Just a little reminder you are more than your anxiety! It’s just a piece of who you are but it’s not all of you 💜

Forgiveness is usually a challenging topic for many people. The steps outlined below seem to explain what it looks like and the process very well.

A dysregulated adult can’t help regulate a dysregulated child. Taking a moment to pause doesn’t mean you’re giving in—it means you’re leading with intention.

Have you ever told yourself, “Next time, I’m going to say something,” but then the moment comes… and your mind goes completely blank?

Someone catches you off guard, crosses a boundary, and you freeze. Later, you think of exactly what you wish you’d said.

Why? Because when we’re surprised or emotionally activated, our nervous system often goes into protection mode. It’s much harder to think clearly in the moment.

The good news is that boundary-setting is a skill. Practicing a few simple phrases ahead of time and giving yourself permission to pause can make it much easier to respond in a way that honors your needs.

If your partner has an anxious attachment style, their behavior isn’t always attention-seeking or controlling.

Sometimes they’re not trying to control the relationship; they are trying to feel secure in it.

What looks like “needing too much reassurance” may actually be a fear of disconnection, rejection, or abandonment.

Understanding the wound beneath the behavior can create more compassion, better communication, and healthier relationships. ❤️

The mind is powerful.
When we sit in negativity long enough, it’s almost like we become a magnet for more of it. It leads to more doubt, more frustration, more things that confirm our fears.

Not because life is perfect for other people, but because what we focus on tends to grow.

Protect your peace. Guard your thoughts. Speak kindly to yourself. Look for the good, even in small moments. A shift in mindset won’t erase hard things, but it can change how we carry them. ✨

In relationships, it’s okay to say when something stings. You don’t have to ignore it. You don’t have to explode about it either. Instead of assuming the worst or holding it in, try naming the impact:

“That felt a little hurtful to hear.”
“I’m noticing I felt defensive when you said that.”
“I feel a bit attacked.”
“I might be misunderstanding so can you clarify what you meant?”

This isn’t about blame—it’s about clarity.
Because unspoken hurt turns into distance but spoken honesty (when it’s gentle and curious) turns into connection and repair. 🤍
