When your therapist friends give advice, it’s not sugar-coated it’s soul-shaking. 💅 Sometimes you don’t need another opinion, you need the truth (with love, obviously). 💬✨

There comes a point when even the most devoted people pleaser hits their limit, that quiet breaking point where “it’s okay” turns into “I can’t keep doing this.”
People pleasers often minimize their own needs to keep the peace, convincing themselves their feelings are an inconvenience. But therapy helps you learn that your needs are not too much, they’re valid and necessary.

Here are 3 therapist-backed tips to start shifting the pattern:
1️⃣ Notice your “automatic yes.” Pause before agreeing to something, discomfort doesn’t mean danger.
2️⃣ Get curious about guilt. Ask yourself, “Who taught me I had to earn love through compliance?”
3️⃣ Practice boundary scripts. Start small: “I want to, but I don’t have the capacity right now.”

You don’t have to keep shrinking yourself to be accepted. Healing begins when you stop apologizing for existing. 💛

My teen clients humble me daily 😂
We’ll be deep in an “interactive activity”, aka a therapy game, and suddenly… they’re out here cheating like it’s a competitive sport.
The confidence. The strategy. The absolute chaos.

Therapy doesn’t always look like sitting on a couch, it can look like Uno, Jenga, or “Who’s secretly changing the rules again?”

When I first started in this field, my very first jobs were in substance abuse treatment centers.
I watched people detox. I watched them shake, sweat, cry, and fight for their lives.
And I’ll never forget how that changed me.

Addiction isn’t just about bad choices.
It’s about pain. Disconnection. History. Survival.
It’s about people who learned to cope the only way they knew how.

I wish more people understood that addiction isn’t the opposite of recovery
it’s the opposite of connection.
And when we start to see people for who they are, instead of what they’ve done,
healing finally becomes possible. 🤍
