Five years of Therapy Nook. 🤎

And I’m still trying to find the words for what this milestone means to me.

Five years meant growth. Sacrifice. Determination. Faith. Expansion.

It meant writing a BOOK. 📖
It meant stepping outside of my comfort zone.
It meant learning how to build something that could exist beyond just me.
And now… it means growing a TEAM. 🥹

One of my favorite parts of our five-year anniversary celebration was being able to capture testimonies from members of my community—people who have experienced Therapy Nook and can speak to the impact this space has had on their lives.

I’m going to be sharing those stories with you over the next few weeks because I think sometimes the best way to understand what we’re building is to hear it from the people who have experienced it firsthand.

Therapy Nook has always been about creating a soft place to land.

And after five years, I can confidently say…

we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned, because I have a BIG announcement coming very soon about what’s next for Therapy Nook. 👀

And this next chapter?

It’s bigger than me.

You’re not “too sensitive.”
Your nervous system may have learned that it had to stay on guard. 🧠

Childhood trauma doesn’t always look like trauma.

Sometimes it looks like:
→ Overthinking everything
→ People-pleasing
→ Difficulty trusting people
→ Shutting down during conflict
→ Feeling guilty for having needs
→ Always waiting for something to go wrong
→ Struggling to relax—even when you’re safe

Your body remembers what your mind learned to survive.

And healing means teaching yourself that you don’t have to live in survival mode anymore. 🤎

Save this. You might need the reminder later.

PsychoEd of the Week: Hypervigilance 👀

Or, as some of y’all call it… “keeping your head on a swivel.” 😅

Hypervigilance is a state of constantly scanning your environment for potential danger—even when you’re safe. It’s a common trauma response that develops when your brain has learned that being alert is the best way to stay protected.

It might look like:
• Always sitting facing the door
• Being startled easily
• Noticing every sound or movement
• Feeling like you can never fully relax
• Constantly anticipating the worst

What once helped you survive may now be making it hard to feel at peace.

Awareness is the first step. Healing is learning that safety doesn’t always require constant vigilance. 🤍

We’re picking up right where we left off in our trauma series.

This week, we’re talking about socialization—the messages we receive from our families, communities, culture, and society—and how those messages can shape us in ways we don’t always recognize.

Sometimes trauma isn’t just what happened to us. It’s also what was modeled, normalized, or left unspoken.

Join us this week as we unpack how trauma can be passed from one generation to the next through socialization. 🤍

The last few months have been quiet on here… but anything except quiet behind the scenes.

I’ve been building.

Building a group practice means wearing a hundred different hats at once: clinician, CEO, recruiter, trainer, marketer, accountant, problem-solver, and sometimes professional “figure it out as you go.”

There have been early mornings. Late nights. Resume reviews. Interviews. Staff trainings. Grant applications. Business loan applications. Rejections. Wins. More setbacks than I expected. More lessons than I could’ve imagined.

There were moments I questioned whether I had enough in me to keep going. Moments where the stress even showed up physically. But every time I thought about giving up, I came back to the same thing:

The mission is bigger than the obstacles.

I believe that clinicians deserve a place where they feel supported. I believe clients deserve exceptional care. And I believe that businesses can grow without sacrificing compassion.

Has it cost me? Absolutely.

Time with family and friends.
Time in my own bed.
Rest.
Balance.

I’m still learning how to hold all of it with grace.

A vacation is definitely overdue (and yes, it’s coming 😅), but before that… we get to celebrate five years of Therapy Nook.

To everyone who has referred a client, shared a post, prayed for me, encouraged me, trusted me with your healing, or simply believed in this vision—thank you.

This milestone belongs to all of us.

Here’s to five years… and to everything we’re building next. 🤍

A few days in LA spent slowing down, taking in the skyline, eating well, and wandering museums while letting myself enjoy the life I’ve worked hard to build 😌

A highlight of the trip was visiting The Broad and seeing a special exhibition featuring never-before-seen works by Jean-Michel Basquiat 🎨

When I lived in Spain 🇪🇸 I studied art history and grew especially attached to artists like Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. Picasso in particular stayed with me.

His evolution from academic realism to Cubism, and later abstraction, felt like watching someone continuously dismantle and rebuild form and meaning.

There’s something deeply human about that process 🤍

I guess we’re all deconstructing something somehow…

This is what my “soft life” looks like: intentional rest, art, beauty, curiosity, and learning how to fully inhabit my own life instead of just surviving it✨

What if foreboding joy wasn’t just a feeling? What if it was a memory?

Not yours personally. But your community’s. Your family’s. Carried in the body across generations.

When thriving made you a target. When visible joy invited violence. When good things were taken so consistently that hoping too hard felt like a setup — your nervous system was paying attention. And it passed that lesson down.

This is part two of our series on foreboding joy in Black life. We started with naming it. Now we’re tracing it back to where it actually began.

Because healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in context. And context matters. 🤍

POV: You built a gorgeous healing routine but your nervous system still files your mother under “active threat.”

The breathwork is real.
The therapy is real.
The journaling, the somatic work, the cold plunges, the affirmations — all of it, real.

And then someone mentions your mother and your nervous system skips the whole routine and goes straight to that one summer in ‘08.

This is not failure. This is proof that healing is not linear and that the nervous system keeps receipts!

Serg the Therapist sees you.

She’s not judging.

She’s just going to need you to answer the question about that phone call. 👀

Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ if your healing routine has a blind spot with your mother’s name on it 😂

May 18, 1803.

Catherine Flon sat down with needle and thread and stitched together a flag that said we are not what they made us.

I am Haitian. That means I come from the first Black people who looked at empire and said not today.

From a revolution that didn’t just free us — it scared the entire colonial world into pretending we didn’t exist. From ancestors who knew that l’union fait la force was never a slogan. It was a strategy.

When I sit with clients carrying the weight of complex trauma, of immigrant grief, of first-gen survival — I am not making the work up. I come from people who understood that freedom is not given, it is taken. That healing is ancestral. That softness, joy, and rest are also acts of resistance when the world was literally built to deny you all three.

My people did it first. They dreamed it, built it, and paid for it — and then France made them keep paying for it for over a century. And still. We are here. The flag is still flying. The diaspora is still moving.

Instacousins and especially my Haitian ones sak pasé. Happy Haitian Flag Day. Wave it loud today. 🇭🇹

🇭🇹 L’union fait la force. 🇭🇹
