I’m running away from Texas humidity and trading it in for cooler temperatures, mountain views and much needed family time 🙌🏼🥰

Be Counseling will be closed from May 30th until June 7th while I soak up some rest and fresh air. I’ll respond to messages and emails once I return!

A lot of us learned that shame creates change.

That if we criticized ourselves enough, pushed ourselves hard enough, or never let ourselves “off the hook,” we would finally become who we needed to be.

But accountability without compassion often turns into self-punishment.

Growth actually becomes more sustainable when we feel safe enough to be honest with ourselves - not when we’re constantly attacking who we are 🫶🏻

You’re doing enough.

What I want you to remember moving into summer as both a therapist and a human being who gets it 🫶🏻

Your body is not something that needs to be fixed before you’re allowed to fully exist.

I know summer can bring up comparison, shame, hyper-awareness, and pressure to change ourselves. I also know how exhausting it is to spend another season at war with your body.

I hope this post feels like a deep breath. You deserve to participate in your life now—not once you’ve earned it.

If you saw yesterday’s reel - Here’s the full list!

These are specific podcast episodes I often recommend to clients and honestly, come back to myself at times.

Not all support looks the same and more often than not it’s about finding the support, vibe, and information that meets you where you’re at.

Take what you need, save it for a rainy day or send it to someone who might need it 🫶🏻

If you have a favorite podcast episode I would love to hear about it!

The shame spiral is plagued with thoughts like:
“I should …”
“Why can’t I just …”
“I need to be …”
“I wish I was more …”

The shame spiral is woven with fear and it can feel really hard to bring yourself back to the now. The now where you are doing enough, you are enough, and you are safe. Here are some of my favorite ways to get back into the present 🫶🏻

🤍 Get back into your body! Movement is a great interruption and can look like an easy walk around the block, dancing, shaking your limbs, or stretching to release the tension.

🤍 Borrow regulation from a supportive person. You can voice note a trusted friend, ask a partner to remind you that you’re safe, snuggle a pet and mirror their breathing or reread old supportive messages.

🤍 Disrupt the pattern! This is done by stimulating the vagus nerve or through simple grounding techniques such as splashing cold water on your face, holding a warm cup of tea, engaging in deep breathing, or humming along to a great ‘reset’ song - A favorite is Good As Hell by Lizzo!

🤍 Use a compassionate reframe. When experiencing shame we believe we are the problem, which makes it important to remind ourselves of the truth. Oftentimes, we wouldn’t be this critical of someone we love especially without any evidence. Swap “I’m not enough,” to “I’m struggling and this is hard…” or “I should,” to “It would be helpful to…”

🤍 Lower the bar … like, A LOT. Shame makes us feel as though everything needs to be perfect. We don’t need that type of pressure so allow yourself the opportunity to take small steps.

You don’t have to fight the spiral perfectly—just gently interrupt it. One small moment back in your body, back in reality, back to you

My amazing friend and all her knowledge 💚🫶🏻

You're not overreacting.

Your kid didn't come with a manual — and the ones who say "just be consistent" don't understand how to redirect a child who's already in full-meltdown mode in a Target checkout line.

If you're raising a kid with ADHD, sensory sensitivities, or big emotional responses — and you're equal parts exhausted and deeply in love with that little tornado — this page was built for you.

I'm Kristy, a licensed counselor and a mom who gets it firsthand. Every week I share real, practical tools for calming the chaos and finding more connection (and maybe even a few laughs) in the hard moments.

If this feels uncomfortable, it’s probably because you weren’t taught to put yourself first. But, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to.

Healing looks like choosing yourself—even when it feels unfamiliar. Let this be your reminder that self-abandonment isn’t love. You have a place at the top. Choose you.
