Happy !

When making changes, guilt is oftentimes a signal that we are making progress. We are retraining these internalized parts of us that have been trained to not have proper boundaries. Sometimes our own misplaced guilt will get in the way of us making the changes that are actually good and healthy for us. So I always say, “Celebrate the crap out of it!” That will help you stay on track.

Go celebrate!

Happy on a Sunday!

We had a hard week this week as a Ferg family. We had to say goodbye to a beloved pet. My cat Meredith. She was my first adult purchase out of college. So, in a way, she was around for a lot of my growing up. Our office bought these cookies for staff meeting as a way to cheer us up. Thanks for the space this week, ELC team.

Ugh, Grieving is hard.

Fall is here! And while the weather is still hot here in OK, we are excited to see some of the change that comes with fall. Changing colors, cooler weather, and the inevitable pumpkin flavored everything! This is a welcome change for most of us, I bet. Time is precious.

Happy Fall to you from all of us at ELC!

Sometimes there are barriers to our connections.  No matter how many times we see the negative cycle and call it out, there seems to be something getting in the way of our connections to those we love.  Usually it’s relationship injuries.  Something painful happened in the relationship that sends danger signals saying that the road to connection is not safe to travel…so we don’t.  This is common, y’all. You are not weird for experiencing this feeling.  Good news is there is a roadmap to addressing these connection issues.  Getting in with a good therapist can help clear up those roadblocks in order to repair the pathways of your connection.  ;)  

You may check in with your loved one this weekend:

Do you feel like our connection gets roadblocked sometimes?  Is there something that happened in the past in our relationship that keeps getting in the way of our connection now?  

Take these conversations slow and carefully.  It’s better to acknowledge any roadblocks now rather than to sit there with no detour out.

I believe in you.  

Get connected!

Having some fun getting to know our staff. We are an entertaining bunch! We asked everyone, besides w**e, what kind of tasting would you like to attend if you were to attend one. What a blast!

Enjoy!

New blog from yours truly! Sometimes we get sucked into situations where we are tempted to make decisions that end up making our own situations worse. Here I describe three of those deadly decision poisons…beautifully paired with wit and a wide assortment of GIFs!

Read it and practice wisdom!
