Attachment injuries can occur when a person’s bid for emotional or physical support from their caregiver or partner is withheld or inconsistent. Similarly, it can be hard for individuals who have experienced attachment injuries to form lasting and strong connections with others. The cycle may repeat or similar relationship dynamics continued unless the cycle is acknowledged and consciously altered.

This classic saying means that accepting your child for who they are is key to nurturing healthy self-esteem. Having realistic expectations, nurturing your child’s emotional needs, fostering their individuality and authenticity helps to create a balanced wellbeing. By allowing your kids to be who they are, modeling appropriate boundaries and offering well meaning protection and guidance, you will foster positive growth and development.

Instead of ghosting someone, why not try being honest instead? Direct communication solves problems more clearly than silence. And lack of communication may be hard to recover from. It generally leaves lingering questions and confusion. And if someone ghosts and then returns inconsistently it can also be seen as confusing or manipulative. Sometimes there’s a legit reason to ghost, but if there’s not, consider a polite response, even if it is a rejection.

When in conflict with your partner or family member, ask yourself this,” Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?” Trying to prove that you are right ultimately becomes about a dominance/submission pattern. As Dr Alexandra Solomon (2025) highlights in her training on couples therapy. She suggests that ultimately you are trading “rightness” for connection. And, does it truly matter who is “right” anyway?

“You don’t need more self-care, you need less self-sacrifice.” Maureen Werrbach, owner of The Group Practice Exchange (2025), challenges us to think about taking more off our plates, doing less, not over-committing or burning ourselves out. Bubble baths and a long walk in the park will not solve the issue, though it may create a nice distraction. The solution is to do less self-sacrifice and not just bury our problems in “self-care.”

This quote is the ultimate inspiration. To embrace change, one cannot be pushed, cajoled, or manipulated. We only change when we truly feel we are welcomed and accepted as we are. I see you and feel you and accept you exactly as you are. Thank you for being you.🫶🏻

Devaluation is the precursor to discard in unhealthy relationship cycles. The devaluation phase severely erodes trust and there is no coming back or returning from the damage done. As a therapist, this is the most detrimental process I see in relationships.

If you notice a dynamic of constant “teasing” that is not nice, put downs could be at play. A put down is a power dynamic that elevates one person above the other, usually intended to bolster that individual’s self esteem. If you are feeling put down by a friend, family member or romantic partner, it’s time to set better boundaries. Many people will not stand up for themselves but you can also show that you will not accept what they say without pushback. Or alternatively, take space from the relationship. Many times, family relationships that are of a critical nature may be harder to distance from, but you can still set a boundary around how you will or won’t allow yourself to be treated.
