Spoilers ahead!!! 🚨 Anyone else been obsessed with the show ?!? I watched it two times back to back. It's bringing me back to hints of One Tree Hill (one of my favorite series) but I can't help but love the level up in emotional maturity and intelligence in the characters that we don't often see in TV shows.

As a therapist sooo many moments stood out to me, I could have made this 30+ slides. I shared some that come to mind - and why I think so many us who do the work, go to therapy, or are emotionally aware have fallen in love with this show.

Have you watched this show?!? If so, what are your thoughts?! What moments stood out to you? Let me know in the comments below!

P.S can season 2 come out asapp please!!

What if the feelings that you try to avoid or feel guilty about are actually teaching you something? All emotions have a purpose. And often the ones that feel “icky” we push away, even when they could be giving us insight to what can make our relationships better.

Feeling these things in relationships aren’t abnormal. They don’t feel good to experience for sure - but it gives us insight to “let’s change something up”. In response to each of these can be steps to create different routines, conversations, and norms.

If you’re in the NY/NJ area and looking for a therapist to navigate relationship and interpersonal struggles or are looking for a couples therapist, check out my website to learn more about how we can work together. ❤️

This list can go on 🤪🥲. This advice is often said with good intentions, but how the person on the receiving end can feel is ... not so good. 😬 here's my ratings of each of these (as an anxiety and ocd therapist who practices in nyc & nj (hoboken and Montclair) and their reasonings why!

Have you ever heard one of these? Or other ones? Share them below!

It's Mental Health Awareness month! Here are some of my favorite mental & emotional wellbeing practices - the ones that aren't trendy (matcha runs, journaling, even therapy). These are the unglamorous but important ones - the routines, patterns, and at times going back to the basics.

What's one of your favorite mental health tips/routines? Let me know in the comments below!

Friendships during emerging stages of life (ie. 20s/30s/40s) have so many ebbs and flows. No body warns us about them - and when the shifts happen, many are left wondering:

Is it me?
Did I do something?
Does no one care about me?
Who are my friends?

There may not be fights, falling out, anything crazy. The friendship may still be in tact. And there may still be a LOT of love. But there’s a shift. And that isn’t always a bad thing …

It’s just a part of life. Some friendships remain in the shift and some don’t. Both are okay, it’s about “can we feel connected through this shift?”

You’re not a failure, it’s a part of growing up. 💙 It’s a topic commonly discussed in the therapy space.

I'm a therapist who has been on the other end of people sharing their fears and hesitations & also been a patient exploring my own fears. At the end of the day fears are exactly what they are, fears. They don't have to be something that controls us, but they often are.

Our fears can consume us unless we acknowledge what they are, reflect on them, and work through them. Our fears do not need to last forever. That doesn't go to say that our worries, fears, hesitations do not hold weight. But I think one of the biggest ways to lighten the way it is to recognize that we are not alone in those thoughts for fears.

Especially working with many young adults & millennials, many of the fears are common. They are uniquely related to each individual ... but many times they're around the themes of:

Relationships
Belonging
Values
Career
Confidence/Finding self
Timeline and expectations

So today's a little reminder for you, if any of these are popped in your mind -- you're not alone in them.

If you wanna work through some of these fears in a therapeutic way to create change, and live in New York or New Jersey, check out the link in my bio. I'm accepting new patients 🛋️

Safety isn’t saying you’ll do something, doing it a few times, and dropping it.

Safety is saying you’ll do something, life happens and something may come up, and communicating with empathy that you aren’t able to show up - and sharing another time you can.

It doesn’t mean that you are perfect. When we strive for perfection in the process, it’s inconsistent (because who is consistently perfect).

What else would you add? How does safety in relationships feel to you?

Some seasons of life it's hard to feel "strong". (BTW - you're stronger than you ever give yourself credit for - even on the days when it's hard to see that. I think that some seasons of life are meant to help us tune into more than our inner strength. But often as a society, we equate hardship to finding strength.

But what if you got a lot more than strength out of it? What if you actually needed something else?

It's okay to expand and find other insights or meaning. And it's also okay to not find any insight or meaning at all.

Over the past few years during various hardships, I found inner strength in ways that I did not even know I had. And in my therapy work as well, I've had clients say the same after difficult moments of life. Strength shows up when it needs to. It's there in you.

At times what can feel more powerful or supportive is finding the other aspects other than "strength". And trust me, there are many of them. You just have to let yourself slow down ❤️
