Siobhan Strickhart, LPC Psychotherapy & Counseling I work with adults who’ve spent a long time being the “strong one”—the helper, the overthinker, the one who keeps it all together even when it’s hard.

linktr.ee/insessionwithsiobhan If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. My style is real, supportive, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, DBT, and attachment-focused therapy—but more than that, I’ll actually show up and be in it with you. No blank stares or therapist clichés here. I’m the kind of therapist who gets curious, asks the hard questions gently, and helps you explore the stuff you’ve maybe never said out loud. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. Whether you’re ready to dig in or just testing the waters, there’s space for you here. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about helping you get back to you—in a way that feels doable, honest, and grounded in who you are. And above all, I’ll meet you as a real human—with warmth, care, and a deep belief that healing is possible, even if it hasn’t felt that way before.

A lot of women were never allowed to just be kids.

They were the helper.
The responsible one.
The emotional support system for everyone else.

They learned to:
• read the room
• manage other people’s emotions
• stay quiet to keep the peace
• take care of everyone but themselves

And people called them “mature.”

But what it really was…
was survival.

So today, on International Women’s Day, I want to say this:

To the women learning to
set boundaries,
feel their feelings,
and choose themselves for the first time…

That is real strength.

Healing generational patterns is not easy work.
But it is powerful work.

And it matters.

🤍 If this resonates with you, comment “me” or share this with a woman who is doing the work.

Your inner voice matters more than you think.

The way you speak to yourself shapes your confidence, your decisions, and even the risks you’re willing to take in life.

Negative self-talk often forms quietly over time—from criticism, past experiences, or environments where we learned to doubt ourselves.

But that voice can be rewritten.

Try replacing these thoughts:

“I’m not good enough.”
➡️ I believe in my abilities.

“I don’t deserve this.”
➡️ I am deserving of success.

“I’m not lovable.”
➡️ I am worthy of love, respect, and happiness.

Small shifts in language can create big shifts in how your brain processes self-worth.

And remember: affirmations are not about pretending everything is perfect—they are about training your mind to treat yourself with the same compassion you offer others.

Sometimes what’s holding you back isn’t a lack of motivation, discipline, or willpower.

It’s fear.

Fear of being seen.
Fear of outgrowing what’s familiar.
Fear of choosing yourself when you were taught to prioritize everyone else.

And that fear doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It often means you’re standing at the edge of growth.

You just need compassion for the part of you that learned to stay small to stay safe—and the courage to move anyway.

If this resonates, pause for a moment and ask yourself:

What fear am I learning to walk alongside right now?

Save this for the days you start doubting your growth 🤍

Did you know? 😊

Even a forced (or “fake”) smile can actually nudge your brain toward feeling happier. It might feel small, but the simple act of smiling can gently shift your mood and brighten your moment.

So if today feels heavy, try this:
Pause. Breathe. Smile — even just a little.

Sometimes the smallest actions create the biggest changes.

Peace feels alive: there’s softness, presence, and the capacity to feel—without being overwhelmed.
Numbness feels quiet but disconnected: the absence of pain, not the presence of safety.

One way to tell the difference:
If something meaningful happened right now, could you feel it?

Peace expands your range.
Numbness narrows it.

Trust isn’t built in big gestures.
It’s built in the small, consistent moments we often overlook.

Keeping your word.
Being honest about your feelings.
Staying regulated when things feel uncomfortable.

Emotional intelligence isn’t about never having feelings—it’s about understanding them.

When you can recognize what you’re feeling (and why), communication gets clearer, boundaries get easier, and relationships feel less confusing.

This is a skill you can build—at any age.

What your Valentine’s Day candy might say about you..

Is it science? No.
Is it accurate anyway? Possibly.

Conversation hearts = you like clarity.
Chocolate = feelings run deep and comfort is a love language.
Sour candy = tough exterior, soft nervous system.
No candy = boundaried… or self-aware enough to know sugar + emotions is a risky combo.

And if you bought your own Valentine’s candy?
That’s secure-attachment energy. :)

If boundaries feel hard, it’s usually not because you don’t know what to say.
It’s because your nervous system learned that protecting yourself wasn’t safe.

In therapy, I slow things down and start with curiosity, not scripts.

Here are four questions I often ask:
• What happens in your body when you think about setting the boundary?
• What do you fear might happen if you say no or ask for space?
• Where did you learn that keeping others comfortable was safer than protecting yourself?
• If someone is upset by your boundary, what does that mean about you?

Save this for the next time guilt or anxiety shows up.

When I was a new therapist, I thought being “good” meant
having the right words, the right tools, the right answers.

What I know now is this:

So much of healing happens in the space between words.
In the way you stay.
In the way you slow down.
In the way you don’t rush someone out of their experience.

You don’t stop being human when you become a therapist.
And honestly—that’s the part that does the most work.

If you’re early in your career and quietly wondering
“Am I doing enough?”
You probably are.

And if you’ve been doing this a while,
you know there are moments with clients that shape you just as much as you shape them.

DBT isn’t about controlling emotions—it’s about understanding them.

Many people assume DBT is only for extreme situations—but it’s actually about learning what to do when emotions feel overwhelming and your body reacts faster than your logic.

Most of us were never taught how to regulate emotions, communicate boundaries, or calm our nervous system in the moment. DBT skills help bridge that gap—so you can respond instead of react and move through hard moments with more steadiness and less shame.

Coping isn’t the goal.
Feeling safer in your body and more grounded in your life is.

Save this if it resonates.
