Romanticizing life in the 613. ✨ There is nothing a box of macarons and a coordinated outfit can’t fix. We skipped the basic coffee run and went straight for the patisserie vibes at . 🇫🇷🍬

This is your sign to go get macarons with your girls after you dress up for brunch!

Grief is a paradox. It is the loneliest experience in the world, yet it is the one thing that every single human being will eventually understand. 🌊

We often hear that “everyone grieves differently,” but it’s more than that. It’s the tension between the Universal (the heavy fog, the physical ache, the need to be seen) and the Unique (the specific silence of an inside joke or the way you have to relearn your Tuesday mornings).

Understanding this balance helps us give ourselves—and others—more grace. You aren’t “doing it wrong”; you are just navigating a map that was drawn specifically for you.
If the “unique” part of your grief feels too heavy to carry alone right now, we’re here to help you navigate it. Our therapists at Changing Tides specialize in holding space for both the universal and the deeply personal sides of loss.

What if Anne Shirley walked into my therapy room today? 🛋️✨

As an 11-year-old orphan arriving at Green Gables, Anne presents with incredible strengths—creativity, high verbal ability, and deep empathy. But she also carries the weight of her past: a “fear of being sent away” and intense emotional volatility.

In this fictional case conceptualization, we look at:
🌱 Relational Safety: Moving from “trial adoption” to a true sense of belonging.

🌊 Emotion Regulation: Learning to navigate the ‘Depths of Despair’ without staying there.

💪 Strengths-Based Care: Leveraging her 100/100 imagination as a tool for healing.

Success for Anne isn’t about becoming “quiet” or “sensible”—it’s about her knowing she is allowed to take up space exactly as she is.

Which fictional character should I ‘treat’ next? Let me know below!

I promise it’s a lot less intimidating than the “Inner Child Work” makes me sound. Just a human who likes spending time at the wheel, occasionally throwing a pot off-center (to my own disappointment), and helping you navigate the wobbly bits of life. 🍋🏺

If you’ve been nervous about booking that first session, consider this your sign that therapy doesn’t have to be clinical or cold. It can be just as grounded as a hand-thrown citrus juicer.

We don’t have to be perfectly centered to be functional and full of zest. 🫶😘

POV: You finally reached Secure Bae status. 💅✨

Being secure isn’t about being “boring”—it’s about being free. Free from the games, free from the “what did they mean by that?” spirals, and free to actually enjoy the person you’re with.

When you’re secure, you don’t need to “protest” and you don’t need to “deactivate.” You just... exist. And it’s the most powerful feeling in the world. 🌎

Standard clinical advice for a heavy week: Cry and shake some ass. Side effects may include: Feeling lighter, better glutes, and a regulated nervous system.

It’s not “mixed signals”—it’s an internal battle. ⚡️💔

Being Fearful Avoidant feels like having one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake at all times. You want the deep, soul-level connection, but the moment you feel it, the “Danger” alarm goes off in your head.

You aren’t “toxic” and you aren’t “broken.” You just have a heart that’s trying to protect itself from a hurt it hasn’t forgotten yet. ☁️

In your 30s your best friend will text you and say,
“Wanna rent office space together?”
And the wild thing is—you’ll say yes,
not knowing that one little yes is about to stop you dead in your tracks and stop you from playing small in your career.

A year later, I’m walking through these rooms and everything in me just… softens.
A place where my work stopped being a vision board and started being a lived thing.
A place where I finally felt my career click into place, like:
Oh. This is what I’m going to be doing. HEARD.

The walls have seen the late nights, the quiet victories, the “holy crap we are really doing this” moments that hit you right in the chest.
This space held my growth without demanding I rush it.
Our office let me expand, breathe, and actually feel the business I’m building instead of just thinking about it.

I’m so proud of us.
I’m so proud of this space.
And I’m so stupidly excited for what’s next!
Follow along for more sappy s**t from your local therapist 😂

Grief is wild because it doesn’t schedule itself. It doesn’t RSVP. It just shows up, taps you on the shoulder, and suddenly you’re crying on public transit like you’re in some trendy indie film.

This story is from my sister’s first birthday after she died in 2019. I shared it then, and I’m sharing it again now, because so many of us are carrying love that no longer has a body to land on. And that love still needs somewhere to go.

If you’ve ever been ambushed by a memory…
If you’ve ever felt the air leave your lungs out of nowhere…
If you’ve ever been struck by the sweetness and brutality of what used to be—
you’re in good company here.

Loss doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you loved deeply.
It means your heart remembers and yearns.

And if you’re grieving while also trying to function, parent, work, dream, heal, or just… exist?
You don’t have to do that alone.

💙 If you want support navigating grief, trauma, or the way life keeps shifting under your feet, we are here. 🫶
