✨️Therapy Thoughts Tuesday✨️

Sometimes the deepest wounds come from the places we expected safety. When the people who were supposed to protect us couldn’t show up, it can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

Healing starts with naming what hurt. From there, we can build self-compassion, boundaries, and new ways of feeling safe and connected. You’re not broken for needing more and it’s never too late to learn how to care for yourself in ways you deserved from the start.

HAPPY FAMILY DAY TO OUR FIVE3 FAM🖤

🌟 Happy Family Day 🌟

Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of what makes our community so special – YOU. We’re beyond grateful for the incredible FIVE3 family that continues to grow and support one another. Together, we navigate life’s challenges, one step at a time, embracing inclusion, accessibility, and the power of therapy. 🖤

Did you know? Non-traditional families come in all shapes and sizes, and every one is unique in its own beautiful way. What truly matters is the love, care, and support we give each other. We're so lucky to have a family that goes beyond the conventional.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Without you, we wouldn’t be who we are. Let’s continue building, growing, and supporting each other – together! 🏡✨

✨️Therapy Thoughts Tuesday✨️

Hot Take 🔥

Ever feel like you’re on a hamster wheel in therapy...talking about the past, understanding it better, but not feeling different in your day-to-day life?

In therapy, understanding doesn’t automatically turn into trust, meaning, increased capacity, or the ability to sit with hard moments differently. Mental health support shouldn’t just help you make sense of your life, it should help you participate in it more fully.

At FIVE3, we aim to balance both:
🧠 Meaning-making and understanding
🛠️ Skill-building, capacity, and real-life application

Sometimes having language for your experience is powerful—“That makes sense” can feel deeply validating. And that’s important.
But it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

If you’ve found yourself questioning whether therapy is moving the needle, lean into that curiosity. Ask yourself:
How can I also use therapy to build skills that assign meaning to my own life?

Building commUNITY, one meaning-making moment at a time.

✨️There is no timeline for undoing what took years to form. Your healing isn’t late—it’s happening at the pace your system can handle.✨️

February loves a deadline.
Healing… does not.

If progress feels messy, nonlinear, or like two steps forward and one emotionally confusing step back you’re doing it right.
Growth isn’t a straight line just because the calendar says new year.

Gentle reminder: you don’t need to push progress to prove you’re healing.
Sometimes progress looks like pausing, noticing, and staying.

Slow still counts. 💭✨

✨️Therapy Thoughts Tuesday✨️

If care wasn’t freely given in your childhood—or past adult relationships—and was tied to your behaviour, you learned the rules early: stay quiet, keep the peace, manage their mood.

When connection felt fragile, your nervous system stepped in like a full-time project manager.
Monitor. Adjust. Protect.

The catch? You end up carrying responsibility that was never yours to hold.

If this feels familiar, it’s not a personality flaw.
It’s a survival skill that overstayed its welcome.

January is finally over — congrats, you survived the longest month of the year. 🥶✨

If your wellness goals didn’t magically kick off on Jan 1… you’re in good company. Healing, growth, and change don’t follow a calendar. They start when you feel ready.

At FIVE3 Therapy, we don’t believe in “behind” or “late.” We believe in meeting you exactly where you are — on Feb 1, or any day you choose to begin. 💛

Whenever you’re ready, we’re here.

✨️Therapy Thoughts Tuesday ✨️

Self-blame can feel safer than sitting in the absence of repair.
If I did something wrong, at least I have something to work on.
Waiting for accountability from someone else? Unpredictable. Uncomfortable. Rare.

Self-blame gives the illusion of control.
Repair requires someone else to show up—and that’s a risk.

If this hit a nerve, you’re not “too hard on yourself.”
You learned this to survive.

Growth doesn’t always feel good, obvious, or Instagram-worthy. Sometimes it just feels unfamiliar. And unfamiliar is often a sign that something is shifting.
