Therapy isn't always about feeling better every time we leave a session. Sometimes we leave more confused and ruffled than when we went in! Change is super hard and painful at times because we are breaking habits, acknowledging avoidance and digging through some deeply engrained thoughts and feelings. .
But pain is a precursor for growth! Having the courage to do this work will be rewarded!

😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc 😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question 🤔:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!

How do you talk to yourself when you have to leave How do you talk to yourself when you have to leave the kitchen a mess? Do you beat yourself up when you can't seem to stay ahead of the cleaning? Kindness is the best antidote during those frenzied mornings when your counter is a disaster zone and you feel the weight of all the things left undone. Take a deep breath. Remind yourself: you are more than the toys you left untidied or the cereal bowls still in the sink. Be kind to yourself Mama! We all have those days.

I look at the date today with a mixture of shock a I look at the date today with a mixture of shock and gratitude and joy. Today marks the day I finally took the step to open my private practice. It feels surreal to recognize that a whole year has passed by since then, and I am flabbergasted by all the changes myself, and the collective world, have gone through. Transformation is hard. Change is frightening. But living authentically is worth it. Thank you to my friends, family and community for supporting this dream every step of the way!
