💕The best gift for Valentines Day is secure attachment.💕

Throughout the healing process, we want to kick on autopilot and feel healed with a switch. Healing looks like being able to feel pain, experience rejection, feel overwhelmed, and then come back to a baseline of regulation. Healing actually requires us to meet the pain and experience what we are avoiding, and prove to ourselves we can always make it back. It’s messy, failures happen, and we can still be healing. ⛅️

As the year winds down, The Center wants to say Thank you for an incredible first year. Opening a new business is always a leap of faith. Finding a therapist is always a leap of faith. It doesn’t go unnoticed when our clients trust us. As I reflect over the first year, I’m just left with gratitude. Enjoy the rest of your December and celebrate in all the ways that bring you joy.
Thanks again for EVERYTHING.

Knowing versus feeling. Nurture your wounded, child parts in the way a child needs the love. 🫂

Anxious attachment. It’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy rooted in early experiences, and often leading to a deep fear of abandonment. It can make emotions feel very intense, and wreak havoc on relationships and mental health. Good news, you can rewire it. ❤️‍🩹

This is root healing. You can leave a partner that’s not good for you, or set boundaries with friends who don’t align with your values and needs, but until you address the WHY, you’ll meet every version of that same person.

Let’s talk about our friend the Fawn.
Self betrayal and abandonment are key players with the Fawn response. We sacrifice our wants and needs for safety. We think the opposite of fawning is aggression or “not being nice”, when in reality, the Fawn tells us we aren’t worthy and we choose friends and partners who treat us accordingly. Un-fawning, looks like this!

Your body holds what you repress. It becomes the blueprint for emotional responses and daily functioning. It may manifest through attachment issues, physical symptoms, or reactions, but just managing symptoms is only the beginning.

September is recognized as su***de prevention month. Every therapist you meet, using any modality, in any location, from the greenest to the most seasoned, is urging you to remember your worth. Your life has endless value. If we could offer any guidance, it would be to never suffer in silence. There’s help in a time that feels so dark and hopeless. We don’t expect you to see it now, but we would love the chance to hold the light while you find your way out of the darkness. 💜💙
