Anxiety can be confusing because it often shows up quietly. You might function, smile, show up for others, and still feel like your mind is working overtime in the background. 🤯🧠

What we often forget is that anxiety is not a character flaw. It’s the nervous system doing its best to protect you. Sometimes it shows up when you’ve been carrying too much and when your boundaries have been stretched. Or sometimes when your body hasn’t had space to rest.

Instead of asking “How do I get rid of this?”Try gently asking, “What is this trying to tell me?” 🤔💬

You might find that anxiety is asking for:
•Slower pace
•Support
•Safety
•Reassurance
•Or simply a moment to breathe 🍃

You don’t have to go through this alone, and nothing about you is broken. You are doing the best you can with what you’ve been holding. 💙

Anxiety comes in waves, it rises, peaks, and eventually settles. 🌊

But when someone says “just relax,” it can feel like they’re asking the wave to stop mid-ocean.

The truth is, you can’t stop a wave. You can only learn how to ride it, to breathe through it, to steady yourself, and to trust that it will pass.

The same goes for anxiety. You can’t force your body to calm down on command. When your mind and nervous system are on high alert, “just relax” doesn’t reach the part of you that’s trying to stay safe.

You can’t stop the wave, but you can learn to breathe through it. And with time, you begin to trust that even the biggest waves do settle. 💙

At Haven Therapy Co, we help you understand your emotional waves, so you can meet them with awareness, compassion, and steadiness, instead of fear. 🙌🤗

In this video, I talk about what it really means to set boundaries, not from a place of being “nice,” but from a place of being human. 🙌

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to disappoint others. You’re not being unkind, you’re just being real. 💙

Watch the video to learn more about how healthy boundaries can support your wellbeing. 💛

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between being kind and people-pleasing. Both come from care, but one drains you, while the other nourishes you. 💛

When you’re being kind, you give freely.
When you’re people-pleasing, you give to stay safe.

One feels peaceful. The other feels heavy. 🌊

When you practice emotional regulation and self-awareness, you start noticing the difference:

• You pause before saying yes.
• You check in with how you actually feel.
• You realise that saying “no” can be an act of kindness too.

At Haven Therapy Co, we help you find that middle ground, where you can care deeply and protect your own energy.

Healthy boundaries aren’t walls, they’re gentle lines that protect your peace. 💛

They sound like:
“I need some time to rest.”
“I care about you, but I can’t take that on right now.”
“They feel uncomfortable, but honest.”

Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you love people less. It means you’re learning to include yourself in the way you care. 💙

At first, it can feel selfish or even scary, especially if you’re used to always saying yes. But over time, boundaries create space for safer connections, calmer minds, and relationships built on respect instead of exhaustion. 🌿

At Haven Therapy Co, we help you understand and build those boundaries in a way that feels safe, real, and sustainable, so you can show up for others without losing yourself in the process. 🙌

When emotions feel too big, it’s not about being “too sensitive.” It’s your body signalling that something needs attention. 💛

Emotional regulation isn’t about shutting your feelings down, it’s learning how to be with them safely. That might mean slowing your breathing, taking a short walk, or simply naming what you feel instead of judging it.

Your emotions aren’t the problem, it’s the pressure to hide or rush through them that makes things harder. So next time a wave hits, try asking yourself: “What is this feeling trying to tell me?” 🤔💭

That simple question can turn overwhelm into understanding, and that’s where healing begins. 🌿

There’s a big difference between reacting and responding, and most of us only start to notice it when life feels overwhelming.

🔥Reacting is quick, it comes from emotion, from the heat of the moment.

🗣️Responding takes a pause, it comes from awareness, from taking a breath before you move.

When we’re overwhelmed, it’s easy to slip into reaction mode. We say things we don’t mean or shut down completely, not because we want to, but because our body is just trying to protect us. 🙅‍♀️

Emotional regulation isn’t about staying calm all the time, it’s about slowing down enough to understand what’s happening inside you. 🌿

That little pause before you speak, that moment you choose to breathe instead of push, that’s self-awareness in action. And the more you practice it, the more connected you start to feel to yourself again. 💛

🌿Emotional regulation isn’t about staying calm all the time or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about learning how to understand and manage your emotions in a way that feels kind and supportive, especially when life gets messy.

In real life, it looks like this:
✨ Taking a deep breath before reacting when you’re angry.
✨ Giving yourself space to cry instead of holding it in.
✨ Noticing that you’re overwhelmed and choosing to pause.
✨ Talking to yourself gently instead of critically.

It’s not about “controlling” your feelings, it’s about caring for them. It’s letting your emotions exist without letting them take over.Because being emotionally regulated doesn’t mean you never get upset.

It means you can feel things deeply and still know how to find your way back to calm. And some days, that might look like breathing through it. Other days, it might be a walk, a chat, a cry, or simply resting.

That’s what emotional regulation really looks like, being human, and meeting yourself with compassion through it all. 💛

When life gets heavy, we start to slip into survival mode. It’s that space where you stop thinking about how you feel and just focus on getting through the day. 🙌

You push aside your needs because there’s too much to handle. You stop doing the small things that usually make you feel like yourself – the slow mornings, the walks, the laughter, the moments to just breathe.

Bit by bit, you start to feel disconnected. Not because you’ve changed completely, but because you’ve been running on empty.

When we’re overwhelmed, we stop checking in with ourselves, and that’s how we slowly lose touch with who we are.

But you’re still in there. Under the noise, under the exhaustion, there’s still a you waiting to be noticed again. 💙🦋

And you don’t have to rush it, you just need to start with small moments of pause, care, and gentleness.

We often imagine self-awareness as this calm, wise, perfectly-together version of ourselves. But in reality, it’s much messier, and much more human. 💁🏼‍♀️

Self-awareness isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about noticing what’s happening inside you, pausing long enough to understand it, and choosing how you want to respond. 💭🤔

It’s the small, unfiltered moments, not the perfect ones — that show how self-aware you really are. 🌿
