when you’re feeling disconnected from your partner, what’s the hard thing you aren’t saying? when you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, what’s the hard thing you are ignoring? it’s simple but it’s not easy. closeness--to ourselves and to others--comes when we are honest about what’s going on inside (our thoughts, fears, dreams, desires, feelings).

learning to trust ourselves - instead of only using external validation / cues / data - is a *game-changer.*

‘mom, what does looking in the mirror mean?’ my daughter asks after our 17th listen to the new tswift song. (i don’t always have the best age appropriate answers but this one i handled okay. usually i end up talking about capitalism, the patriarchy, or white supremacy, regardless of what she’s asking me to explain. out of juice boxes? probably something to do with capitalism tbh). i’m trying to be a little more honest about my work/life balance which requires me to look at some hard things … not always fun.

how can you be a little more honest with you today?

Of course you miss them (or maybe just parts of them). What if you believed this was normal to miss someone? What would happen if you expected that you may feel that way? Could you be more open to just having the feeling if you knew it might be coming? What if it doesn’t mean anything except that you miss them?

Their response (aka something you have absolutely completely no control over) doesn’t get to determine if the convo ‘went well.’ How *you* showed up determines that. Did you stay true to yourself? To your message? Were you aligned and acting out of integrity? Did you speak up when you needed or stay quiet when that was right for you?

Sure, we can hope that our message was well-received, but that particular outcome isn’t the measure of a good or helpful convo.

It’s harder (damn near impossible, actually) to process our feelings when we’re thinking them. You’ll know you’re thinking your feelings if you’re judging them, trying to problem solve, or rationalizing away your feels. To practice actually *feeling* your emotions instead, start by noticing physical sensations in your body in the present moment.

Meet Lindsey.

This is me.

I love doing this work because I've been on the other side of it. I've experienced first hand the life long benefits of good therapy. I've been stuck in ruts where I've doubted my ability to make a change. I know how it feels to feel shame, sadness, and uncertainty in relationships.

The first time I ever went to therapy was after a breakup. I had initiated the split, so why was I so devastated? Turns out, it's actually really, really hard to walk away from someone you love. In fact, you'll hear me say that it's one of the toughest decisions you may have to make during your life.

I was hesitant and nervous about therapy, not knowing what to expect. Thank goodness I stepped out of my comfort zone and asked for help. You can, too.

Looking back, I cannot imagine how I would have made it through this tough time and difficult transition without a little guidance and extra support, encouragement, and accountability. Feelings of empowerment, independence, and joy replaced those feelings of shame, sadness, and uncertainty.

My path will not be your path. My experiences are not yours. But I do have some great insight (not to mention professional training) into what you might be going through right now.
