🤍Putting grief into six words isn’t about shrinking it. It’s about making it speakable.

🤍When grief feels too big, too tangled, or too heavy to explain, a short phrase can lower the barrier. Six words give your nervous system something manageable—an entry point instead of a deep dive.

🤍This exercise helps because it:

• creates emotional distance without avoidance

• reduces pressure to “say it perfectly”

• allows grief to exist without being solved

• helps people notice what’s most alive right now

🤍There’s no right way to do it.

🤍Your six words might change tomorrow.

🤍That doesn’t mean today’s were wrong.

If you wish, share your six words below—or keep them just for you. Both count. 🤍

🖤There aren’t 5 neat stages of grief.

🖤There are ongoing tasks of mourning.

🖤Grief isn’t something to complete. It’s something you live with.

🖤It’s work we revisit as life changes.

🖤At your pace, in your way, as many times as needed.

🖤Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

A soft re-introduction for 2026 ♥️

If you’ve been telling yourself “I can’t do this alone anymore”… this is for you.

I work with individuals navigating:
• Grief that still feels heavy
• OCD thoughts and compulsions
• Eating disorders and a complicated relationship with food
• Trauma and its lasting effects

You deserve support that actually understands what you’re going through. Therapy can be a place to breathe, unpack, and heal—without judgment.
