Self-Worth and Perfectionism
Therapy focused on self-worth builds self-awareness and deepens insight into how you relate to yourself and the world around you. Through this lens, we can better understand how perfectionism, shame, authenticity, and self-compassion show up in our lives — shaping how we connect with others and impacting our overall well-being.
Do any of these feel familiar?
* Being your own biggest critic — struggling to feel like you're on your own team
* Frequent people-pleasing, and/or feeling like an imposter
* Difficulty accepting mistakes or outcomes that differ from what you hoped, or holding incredibly high expectations of yourself and others
* Avoiding goals out of fear of failure
At Resilient Self Therapy, we help clients find the deeper origins of low self-worth. Using mindfulness and compassion-based practices, we combine insight-oriented work with actionable steps to help build your self-esteem and confidence.
We also use Accelerated Resolution Therapy to target traumatic memories and experiences that have undermined self-esteem and self-worth, reprocessing them to reduce their emotional charge.
If any of this resonates, you don't have to navigate it alone — reach out to learn more.

Savoring Summer in the Final Days 🌞

Here are a few ways to really savor the moment in these last few weeks:

Eat a meal outside, slowly — really pay attention to the taste and texture
Ask yourself each evening: "What was the best part of today?"
Practice a "savoring pause" — when you catch yourself rushing toward fall, stop for 10 seconds and name one good thing about right now
Let one evening run long — a late dinner, an extra bedtime story, staying at the park a little past when you meant to leave
Take an evening swim or a barefoot walk in the grass
Sit outside for sunset once this week, no agenda, just watching it happen

Summer isn't over yet — which one will you try? Let us know in the comments!

Ever feel stuck in talk therapy — like you understand your trauma intellectually, but your body hasn't caught up?

That's where Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) comes in.

ART is an evidence-based treatment that uses bilateral eye movements to help separate painful memories from your body's fight-or-flight response. The facts of what happened stay intact — but the emotional charge attached to them gets rewired.

It's especially powerful when:
✔️ Talk therapy feels like it's hit a wall
✔️ Coping skills help you manage, but the root cause is still there
✔️ You're ready to process a traumatic experience — big or small, recent or long ago

Trauma shows up in our bodies in ways that go beyond words: intrusive thoughts, nightmares, triggers that hijack your day. ART offers a brief, structured path toward relief.

ART can be used to treat:
✔️ PTSD
✔️ Anxiety
✔️ Depression
✔️ Phobias
✔️ Grief
✔️ Substance Use Disorders
✔️ Low Self Worth
✔️ Attachment Wounds

Many clients notice a shift after just one session — less activation, more freedom to do the things they'd been avoiding, and a depth of resolution that talk therapy alone hadn't reached.

If you're curious whether ART could help you move forward, we're here.

A trend worth paying attention to: the return of the "90s summer" — unstructured time, fewer screens, no packed itinerary.

From a mental health perspective, this isn't just nostalgia. Short-term boredom has measurable psychological benefits: it acts as an internal cue that redirects us toward more meaningful activity, supports creative thinking, and builds tolerance for discomfort — a skill that underlies emotional regulation more broadly.

In practice, we often see the inverse pattern: constant stimulation used to avoid stillness, and stillness misread as unproductivity.

Worth considering, as the season opens up: leave your phone in another room for one hour today. Try not to busy yourself up with something else right away & notice what your mind does with the space.

To close out Pride Month, we're highlighting the importance of creating space to explore gender identity and sexuality in therapy. 🌈
Scroll down to learn what affirming therapy looks like, why it matters, and how to find a therapist who will support you with curiosity, respect, and without judgment.
Gender and sexuality touch every part of life — your wellbeing, relationships, and sense of self. They deserve to be taken seriously in the therapy room.

Clients often explore themes like: feeling like traditional gender roles don't fit, internal questioning, dysphoria, family or social pressure, finding language or community, or navigating transition.

Identity work is the process of peeling back who you've been told to be, to uncover who you actually are — a space to explore, grieve, reclaim, and build a sense of self that feels genuinely yours.

An affirming therapist will validate your experience, follow your lead, offer education without assumption, and support decisions that feel right for you.

Finding a gender-affirming, sex-positive therapist can feel daunting — especially if you've had to educate the very person who's supposed to help you. You deserve care that actually gets it. A few things to look for:

Inclusive language & stated LGBTQ+ commitment on their website
Ask: "What experience do you have with trans, nonbinary, or gender-expansive clients?"
Ask: "How do you approach sexuality, desire, and shame in therapy?"

We know Pride can bring complicated feelings alongside the celebration. You're not alone in that.Living as your authenti...

We know Pride can bring complicated feelings alongside the celebration. You're not alone in that.
Living as your authentic self in a world that often works against you is an act of profound courage. THAT doesn't go unnoticed.
But courage can have a cost. Showing up again and again — navigating hostile spaces, educating others, carrying grief — accumulates. And it can weigh on your nervous system.
That's why this month, we're talking about something easy to deprioritize when the world feels heavy: Your own care.
Healing doesn't only happen in the therapy room. It happens in the small, intentional choices you make every day — the boundaries you hold, the rest you allow, the moments you choose yourself without apology.
This month, we're inviting you to sit with one question: What does care look like for you right now?
Maybe it's saying no to something draining. Maybe it's reconnecting with community. Maybe it's sleep, movement, or nourishment. Maybe it's giving yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling — without rushing to fix it.
Whatever comes up — it matters. And you deserve to act on it. This month: identify one thing you need to feel sustained right now. Write it down. Tell someone you trust. Or bring it into your next therapy session. 🏳️‍🌈

When preparing for a new baby, most of us spend months creating a birth plan, setting up the nursery, and checking items off a registry.
But what about a plan for your recovery?
The postpartum period is a time of immense physical, emotional, and psychological adjustment. While every experience is unique, there are a few areas that deserve thoughtful planning before baby arrives:
✨ Sleep & rest
Talk with your partner or support person about who handles which nighttime feedings and wake-ups
Schedule dedicated sleep and rest time for yourself — protect it like any other appointment�
✨ Social support
Look into ways to connect with other parents: library story times, local Facebook groups, PSI online support groups
Name at least one person you can call for: errands, emotional support, and late-night check-ins�
✨ Mental & emotional well-being
Identify 5–10 minute reset activities and go-to coping strategies for when you need a break
Reflect on whether now is a good time to start — or reconnect with — therapy�
✨ Physical recovery
Consider scheduling a pelvic floor physical therapy assessment — this is valuable for all birth types
Plan a gentle, gradual return to physical movement and exercise�
✨ Meals & household responsibilities
Arrange help to stock your freezer before your due date
Consider setting up a meal train through friends, family, or your community
Identify who can help with basic cleaning and household tasks during your recovery weeks
�✨ Visitor expectations and boundaries
Decide who you want to see the baby and when — and give yourself permission to change your mind
Identify any boundaries you want to communicate to visitors ahead of time
Creating a postpartum plan isn't about controlling the unpredictable—it's about building a foundation of support so you don't have to carry everything alone.
