✨ Holiday wishes from us to you ✨

As the holidays begin, we’re sending you gentle wishes for a season that feels restful and supportive, whatever that looks like for you. This time of year can hold many emotions, especially if you’re far from home, creating new traditions, or choosing something quieter.

There’s no right way to do the holidays 🤍

We’ve shared a sweet holiday message from the Untangled team on our blog, reflecting on the year behind us, wishing you well, and offering a gentle reminder to care for yourself and those close to you during this season.

Take it slow, do it your way, and know that you’re not alone. You can read our holiday wishes on the blog now. 📖

With gratitude,
The Untangled team ✨

(Our office is now closed for the holidays and we’ll be back at the beginning of the new year. So, we will see you then again!)

For many, the last week of work and school has just begun 🤍

As we slowly sail toward the holidays and the new year, here’s a quiet reminder: you’ve made it this far, and that matters. Even on the days it didn’t feel smooth or easy, you kept showing up 🌊✨

Take what you can from this moment, move gently where possible, and remember that strength also looks like knowing when it’s time to rest

You’re doing the best you can, and that is enough. You’ve got this 🎄🤍

Relationships aren’t meant to be perfect… they’re meant to be nurtured, explored, and grown 💞

It’s okay to struggle sometimes, what matters most is how we come back together.
Tiny repairs, gentle honesty, and listening with openness can build connection in the moments that matter most.

💜 Speak from the heart, not from blame
🧠 Take breaks to calm, not escalate
🤝 Remember you’re a team, not opponents
🌼 Your needs deserve to be heard, and so do theirs
💗 Repair > perfection, always

If you’re finding it hard, you’re not failing, you’re human. And humans learn, heal, and grow together 💕

Healing isn’t a straight line, and that’s okay. 🪷

Every step, every pause, every “detour” is still progress.
Be gentle with yourself… you’re growing in ways you can’t always see. 💫

Take a breath. Celebrate the small shifts.
You’re finding your way back to your light, one moment at a time. ⭐️

Feeling stuck or unsure in therapy doesn’t mean you’re “bad” at it or doing something wrong 🌱💗 It’s alright to have some worries or wonders regarding starting or doing therapy.

These are not signs of failure, they’re often part of the work itself 🌸 Therapy can stir things up, move at an uneven pace, and feel messy at times, especially when you’re touching on sensitive beliefs, memories, or patterns 🌸 It makes sense that doubt, frustration, or self-criticism might sometimes show up alongside that.

If these obstacles start to feel heavy, it can be very helpful to name them directly with your therapist, your fears, expectations, guilt, or sense of “I’m not doing this right.”

Together you can slow down, adjust the pace, rethink goals, or find gentler strategies so therapy feels safer and more supportive for where you are right now. 🌸✨

You’re allowed to have conflicting thoughts and feelings about therapy and still be making meaningful progress.

Sometimes we forget that being human isn’t something to fix, it’s something to feel through 💗.

You’re not a problem that needs solving. You’re a person who has possibly carried more than some people will ever see, and that can take its own toll. Feeling tired, lost, or overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it may mean that you’ve been trying your best for a long time.

Healing isn’t about transforming into someone entirely new 🌱.
It’s about slowly returning to the parts of yourself that you had to set aside just to get through. The soft parts. The hopeful parts. The parts that haven’t had enough space, time, or warmth in a while.

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just finding your way back home to yourself, gently, patiently, one breath at a time ✨🤍

Guilt is one of those emotions that can feel heavy, almost like it’s wrapping itself around your chest. But guilt isn’t meant to punish you. More often, it’s your mind’s way of saying, “Something here matters to me.” 💛

Guilt can point toward your values, your capacity to care, and the parts of you that want to do better. Sometimes it invites repair, and other times it simply asks you to grow, learn, or soften toward yourself. 🤝

Not every mistake can be undone, and not every moment needs to define who you are. You are allowed to hold yourself gently while also taking responsibility.

When we treat guilt as information, not a life sentence, it can shift into something more empowering: clarity, accountability, and self-compassion.

It’s okay to feel it. It’s also okay to heal from it 💫💛

Sometimes the truth feels like a tightrope, and for those who struggle with compulsive lying, staying balanced can feel almost impossible.

In our latest blog gently unpack what compulsive lying really is.

💭 Inside the blog, we explore:
• Why compulsive lying isn’t simply “choosing to lie,” but often tied to deeper emotional patterns
• How the brain’s reward system can reinforce habitual dishonesty
• The difference between impulsive lies, habitual lies, and pathological lying
ÂĄ How these patterns can form as coping mechanisms
• What healing can look like, both for the person struggling and the people affected

This blog is written with compassion, curiosity, and science at its core. Whether you’re personally navigating this, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to understand human behavior more deeply, you’re not alone, and this post is for you. 💗

🕯 As the days grow ever so shorter and the nights longer, many of us feel the weight of the darkening season, especially those living far from home.

For expats, this time of year can stir up feelings of loneliness or nostalgia. Yet, it also offers a precious opportunity to create light, both literally and emotionally, in small, intentional ways.

Try bringing warmth to your space with familiar habits or rituals from your own culture:
🌙 - Light a candle or some incense that reminds you of home.
🌙 - Cook a comforting dish from your childhood.
🌙 - Listen to music or stories that connect you to your roots.
🌙 - Share these traditions with friends around you, connection can bridge the distance.

Psychologically, familiar sensory experiences help soothe our nervous system and remind us that we belong, even in unfamiliar places. The light we create, both within and around us, helps us stay grounded and hopeful.

So as November unfolds, ask yourself:
- What brings you a sense of comfort and light?
- How can you make space for warmth in your home, your routines, your relationships?

Even in the darkest months, there’s always a spark waiting to be kindled. 🌠

Sometimes, progress doesn’t look like big leaps, but instead, it might look like getting out of bed when it feels heavy, answering one email, taking a mindful breath, or simply showing up for yourself today. 🌷

These quiet moments matter. They’re signs of healing, growth, and resilience, even when no one’s clapping for them.

As psychologists, we often remind our clients (and ourselves) that small steps are still steps forward. You’re doing more than enough, even on the days that feel slow. 💌

Take a deep breath… you’re doing beautifully. 🤍👏
