Sometimes the argument is loud, but the need underneath it is quiet

“I need to know I matter”
“I need to feel wanted”
“I need you to understand me”
“I need to know we’re okay”

Couples can become so focused on defending their position that they miss what their partner is actually reaching for

The goal isn’t to never fight. It’s to become better at recognising what you’re fighting for🤎

What do you think sits underneath most relationship conflict?

Saturday looked a little different for Counselling Goose 🤍🪿

Reformers, a room full of incredible women, ice packs in gift bags and a conversation about what our nervous systems are doing while we’re busy doing life 👏🏻

We explored Polyvagal Theory in a way that felt human and practical as well as understanding how our bodies respond to stress, safety and overwhelm, often before our minds catch up.

Hence the little ice pack🧊, peg and scrunchie ✨A simple reminder that regulation doesn’t always have to be complicated

There was something so meaningful about speaking about mental wellness in a space already dedicated to movement and caring for the body🌸

It was an absolute honour to share this Saturday with these women and to collaborate with Kōya Reform Pilates 🤍

Because sometimes looking after your mind begins with noticing what your body has been trying to tell you🪿

The wildebeest follows the rain🌧️

Not because the storm is comfortable
but because something it needs grows there🌾

We often mistake relief for safety and discomfort for danger

But sometimes the hard conversation, the boundary, the change, the feeling you’ve been avoiding, is the rain

Not every storm is telling you to run

Some are asking you to grow

Sometimes “needy” is just what emotional deprivation looks like from the outside 🤍

When you’ve gone without reassurance, consistency, affection or safety, it makes sense that you might hold tighter when you finally receive it🤍

Healing isn’t needing less
It’s learning to trust that there will be enough again🤍🪿

We often believe that who we’ve been is who we’ll always be🤍

But you are not your worst day
You are not your mistakes
You are not the ways you’ve learned to survive

You are allowed to grow beyond every version of yourself that no longer feels like home🤍🪿

Because becoming isn’t betraying who you were
It’s honouring who you’re capable of becoming🤍✨

Unfiltered homework that doesn’t feel like chores👆🏻👏🏻

Look, standard counselling tools are great, but sometimes your brain is so deeply stuck in its loops that a gentle reminder just won’t cut it🤍
So, we do things a little different here😉🤍 We have fun, we keep it practical, and we use real-life pattern interrupts!

Swipe through for a few unique homework assignments would give you if you walked into my practice today 🪿

Most people don’t notice burnout when it starts🤍
They notice it when they stop feeling like themselves🤍

Sometimes the goal isn’t pushing harder.
It’s learning to recharge before your mind reaches 3% 🔋

Counsellors spend hours listening beneath the surface 🤍🤍

To the patterns.
The contradictions.
The things people say without realising what they’re actually revealing🤍🪿

Sometimes the most powerful moments in counselling are not big speeches or perfect advice.
They’re the uncomfortable questions.
The perspective shifts.
The sentences that suddenly make someone see themselves, their relationships, or their coping mechanisms differently.

Not because counselling is about being harsh.
But because honesty, insight, and self awareness can completely change the way someone understands their life🤍🪿

If flies could sit in counselling rooms 🪰 they’d hear the brokenness and the beauty🤍

The falling apart.
The healing.
The grief.
The accomplishments.
The versions of people that almost gave up
and the versions slowly becoming whole again🤍🤍

A space where people are allowed to break
but also a space where people become🤍🪿
