Just because a child had food, shelter, and family vacations doesn’t mean their emotional needs were met.

Many of us learned roles early on, not because we were difficult or broken, but because our feelings didn’t have space, safety, or attunement. Role theory helps us understand these parts as survival strategies, not character flaws.

When we stop trying to “fix” these roles and start listening to them with compassion, something shifts. Healing doesn’t come from self-criticism, it comes from understanding.

Happening next week!

Dissociation is a common, but often subtle, response to trauma, and it can show up in ways that challenge even experienced clinicians.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the full spectrum of dissociative responses, from zoning out and emotional numbing to complex structural dissociation. You’ll gain practical tools for recognizing dissociation in session, understanding its neurobiological and adaptive roots, and responding in ways that support integration rather than retraumatization.

Through discussion, case examples, and experiential exercises, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to navigate dissociation safely and effectively in your work.

Trauma isn’t always about what happened, it’s about what stays inside when no one witnesses your pain.

Many of us grew up learning that being “too sensitive” meant something was wrong with us, not that our needs were being overlooked. Experiential therapies like psychodrama, EMDR, and expressive art therapy give you a safe space to process that emotional backlog, explore your needs, and learn to meet them with care and self-compassion.

Healing happens when your experiences are witnessed and validated. You don’t have to carry it alone.

So many people start the new year asking,
“Why can’t I just stick with it?”

In psychodrama, we look at this differently.

Instead of assuming something is “wrong” with you, we explore the roles your nervous system has learned to play — the protector, the avoider, the striver, the part that’s exhausted.

When those roles are understood and integrated, change becomes more sustainable and less exhausting.

This is one of the reasons psychodrama can be such a powerful approach for creating a healthier year — not by forcing yourself to be different, but by working compassionately with who you already are.

Overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions? Try this daily observing ego exercise to tune into your internal experience without judgment. Practicing regularly strengthens awareness, builds emotional resilience, and helps you respond instead of react. 🧠✨

12/18/2025

When being “cute” was how your body kept you safe.

You didn’t learn to smile, please, or soften because you wanted to—your nervous system learned that care came easier when you were easy to love.

That’s called passive receptive mastery — when your body masters how to elicit care, but not how to receive it.
Healing is remembering you don’t have to perform to be worthy of care.

In therapeutic role development, we often begin with the observing ego because it offers the most safety.

As we access underdeveloped resilience roles, stress roles naturally activate and seek attention. The observing ego — being more cognitive — allows us to notice what’s happening without intensifying that activation.

Safety first. Depth follows.

12/15/2025

One of the defining features of the observing ego is the ability to notice our lived experience without getting pulled into shame or blame.

When we’re regulated, we can hold the both/and — and receive emotional information without being afraid of the emotion itself.

This is subtle work.
And it’s deeply transformative.

12/11/2025

Learning to notice discomfort without reacting is one of the most important skills we build in therapy.

This is the observing ego — the ability to recognize, “I’m anxious,” “I’m uncomfortable,” or “I’m worried about what this person thinks,” without immediately responding from that place.

Instead of acting on emotion, we gather information:
• emotional data
• somatic sensations
• cognitive thoughts

We observe first, then choose how to move forward.

With practice, this becomes integrated and natural. We don’t have to stop and consciously ask, “What would my observing ego say right now?” It simply shows up.

This is where real change begins.
