Your routine shapes your identity more than your intentions ever will.

If you keep doing the same things, you keep reinforcing the same version of yourself. The same thoughts. The same emotions. The same results.

Change doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from disrupting the patterns your nervous system has memorized.

When you change your routine, you send a signal to your brain that you are no longer the person who lives that old life.

New routine. New evidence. New identity.

You don’t become someone new overnight. You become them through repetition.

The life you want is built inside the structure you choose every day.

Self abandonment does not happen all at once. It happens quietly, in small moments where you choose disconnection from yourself in order to maintain connection with someone else.

Here are five signs you may be abandoning yourself in relationships
1. You ignore your own feelings to keep the peace, even when something hurts
2. You say yes when you want to say no, out of fear of disappointing someone
3. You prioritize their needs, moods, and comfort over your own
4. You suppress parts of yourself to be accepted or avoid rejection
5. You rely on their validation to feel secure or worthy

These patterns often develop as ways to protect relationships, but over time they can create emotional exhaustion, resentment, and a loss of connection with yourself.

Healing begins with awareness. When you start listening to your feelings, honoring your boundaries, and trusting your own voice, you begin rebuilding the relationship you have with yourself.

You deserve relationships where you do not have to abandon yourself to belong.

Most of us didn’t consciously choose our relationship patterns.
We absorbed them.

From caregivers.
From chaos.
From silence.
From inconsistency.

And then we wonder why love feels anxious… avoidant… intense… or hard to trust.

Awareness is the beginning.
But you don’t have to untangle it alone.

If you’re starting to notice patterns you’re ready to shift, therapy can help you understand where they came from — and how to build something healthier.

Our earliest relationships often become the blueprint for how we connect later in life.

By noticing patterns, understanding where they come from, and approaching ourselves with curiosity (not judgment), we create space for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Awareness is the first step toward change.

Schema Therapy is a deeper, integrative approach to counselling that helps identify and heal long-standing emotional patterns formed early in life. These patterns—called schemas—can influence how we think, feel, relate to others, and cope as adults.

At Iridescence Counselling, we offer Schema Therapy to support clients in understanding these patterns, meeting unmet emotional needs, and creating lasting change. It’s a compassionate, evidence-based approach focused on healing at the root—not just managing symptoms.

Difficult emotions aren’t a problem to fix—they’re signals to listen to.

Pause. Breathe. Let the feeling move through you, not define you.

You don’t need to rush healing. 🌿

Weekend Mission: surround yourself with positive vibes ✨
That can look like rest, movement, boundaries, laughter, or choosing people and spaces that actually feel safe for your nervous system.

You don’t have to earn peace — you’re allowed to choose it.
Let this weekend be about recharging, not proving. 💛

When you feel disconnected, start by pausing.

Disconnection is often a signal from the nervous system, not a sign that something is wrong with you. It can show up during stress, burnout, emotional overload, or after long periods of coping.

A few gentle things that can help:
🔹 Slow down and notice what you’re feeling.
🔹 Bring awareness back to your body through breath or movement.
🔹 Reduce stimulation and create moments of quiet.
🔹 Reach for one safe, low-pressure point of connection.

Disconnection doesn’t need to be rushed or forced away. Understanding it is often the first step toward feeling more connected again.

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated — it starts with small, intentional choices you make every day. ✨
From slowing your breath to nourishing your body, spending time outdoors, moving gently, and giving yourself permission to rest, these moments add up more than we realize.

At Iridescence Counselling, we believe wellness isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about tuning in, noticing what you need, and meeting yourself with compassion — especially on the harder days. Mental health is not one-size-fits-all, and your version of balance is allowed to evolve.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, support can help. You don’t have to navigate it alone. 🌿

It’s okay if the answer is “I’m not sure” or “not great.”
It’s okay if today feels heavy, confusing, or quieter than usual.

Not every feeling needs to be fixed, explained, or pushed away — some just need space to exist.

Checking in with yourself is an act of care.
Pause for a moment. Take a breath.
Notice what’s coming up, without judgment.

You’re allowed to meet yourself exactly where you are today.

Wellness isn’t about doing everything at once or getting it “right.”

It’s built through small, intentional choices made day by day.

Pausing when you need to.
Listening to your body.

Showing yourself a little more compassion than yesterday.

Those small moments of care add up. 🌿
