Perfectionism isn’t a personality trait. It’s a survival strategy.

We often celebrate high-achievers and “perfect” performers, but we rarely talk about the why behind the drive. For many of us, being perfect wasn’t a choice; it was the only way to stay emotionally safe in our relationships.
This is Relational Trauma. It’s the kind of trauma that feels like a slow erosion of your safety until you’re left constantly walking on eggshells.

In my latest blog post, I’m giving this the air time it deserves. We’re breaking down: 🚩 The “Invisible Signs” like self-gaslighting and fawning. 🧠 How your brain enters “Safe Mode.” 🌱 Why choosing to heal is a birthright, not a luxury.

It’s the first Monday of a new year, and the pressure to go hard on your resolutions gets loud. 
Pause.
Let’s do this differently. Keep the enthusiasm high and the goals smaller.
If your goal is to feel stronger, start with 5–15 minutes of movement today. Not “25 lbs of muscle.”
Big goals matter, but steady action matters more.
Let’s do 2026 without burning out before we begin.
Slow and steady wins (boring, but true). Social media won’t tell you that part.

Does this sound a little too familiar? You think you should be over it, and you can’t seem to understand why you feel bad, especially because you’re doing everything ‘right.

Carrying these invisible expectations: stay strong, hold it together, be grateful, don’t cry over spilled milk….they can all compound weight. These expectations weren’t yours; they were shaped by culture, society, family dynamics, and a need to survive.

Therapy isn’t about getting over it.
We work together to help you learn how to feel safe in your body enough to heal yourself at your pace.

If this carousel sounds like you, here’s some gentle reminders: 
You have the innate ability to heal.
You’re not behind.
You learned ways to cope that helped you survive, & now you deserve gentler ones that help you actually live.✨⁠

I help people unpack this every day. If you’re ready to go deeper, feel connected to yourself again, and stop carrying emotional weight alone, click the link in my bio to get started. ❤️

Taking care of yourself looks like doing what you need to do when YOU identify you need it. Holidays are no exception.

Hi, I’m Surabhi! I’m a trauma, anxiety, and couples therapist supporting clients across Texas and Colorado.

If you’re looking to make real changes: to feel lighter, freer, and more like yourself, and you want a therapist who isn’t just a polite head-nodder…you found her.

I’ll laugh with you, be honest with you, and support you while also challenging you when needed.

If you’re invested in your healing, I’m invested right back.
I offer weekly sessions and extended EMDR + Brainspotting sessions — perfect if:
• You already have a therapist and want a targeted deep dive
• You’re craving faster, deeper shifts
• You want to move through stuck points instead of circling around them

If you’re ready to explore a different kind of therapy, check out the link in my bio for everything you need to know.

Happy Monday.

Whatever day you’re catching this on, I hope it finds you well. On my journey to be unabashedly honest, here’s my last post on Substack.

It’s an intro to my journey, what you can expect, and hopefully a taste of what I’m like. So come follow along, I know I’d love your company.
See you there!!

Hi, so I did a thing today. And I’m going to say I’m proud of me, because while I’ve had quite a bit of content that’s been waiting to be shared, I am a overthinking perfectionist who is in regular recovery, and this is one of those things that I haven’t done. But today I did.
So if you’re interested in my content, or want to see what else I might be saying, want a community away from IG or TikTok, come find me in Substack. I would love the support, and I hope to built a community with you. Link in my bio

Wanting acceptance and approval is human nature. We want to feel seen and praised- but when you’ve spent all your time following all the rules AND you still get criticized and rarely any of the positive feedback…you’re stuck in a never ending loop where you can try to follow everything and do it ‘right’….but they won’t be satisfied.
As much as you want to get that “good job, we’re so proud of you” moment, how unhappy are you in the process? How often have you kicked yourself for once again going against what makes you happy?

Culture thrives on propaganda.
It normalizes what’s not okay.
If it doesn’t feel good — it’s not for you.
If you’re unhappy — it’s not working.
You are not the problem.
Be willing to see the systems, beliefs, and expectations that are.

Let’s talk about narcissism

The word narcissist gets thrown around a lot these days. And while yes, some folks do show narcissistic traits, full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is actually pretty rare.

But here’s the thing — you don’t need a diagnosis to validate someone’s behavior is harmful to you.

Sometimes we spend so much energy trying to figure out what someone “is” that we forget the most important question: How is this behavior making me feel?

💭 Maybe they never take responsibility.
💭 Maybe it always feels like walking on eggshells.

You’re allowed to name those behaviors for what they are.
Not to slap a label on someone — but to give yourself clarity.
To say, “This is not okay, and I don’t deserve this.”

You get to focus on what’s in your control — setting boundaries, and taking care of you.

Do you struggle with labeling someone’s behavior vs. accepting how it made you feel? Drop a 💬 if you relate.

Sometimes, the last thing we need is another perfectly curated post reminding us how amazing someone else’s life looks. On it’s best days it can be inspiring, and on the tough ones- it can poke that feeling of not being “good enough.”

But I want humanity to show—this is mine.

Instead of chasing the perfect picture, I’m choosing to unlearn my people-pleasing, perfectionist tendencies. Because real self-care? It isn’t always pretty. It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s meeting yourself in the moment.

So if you take one thing from this post, let it be this:

Pause and ask yourself—What do I need today? What can I do to take care of my needs/ something I’ve been putting off?

Then, do it. Seriously, just do it. Leave the perfection need behind and act.

Life doesn’t fit into neat little boxes, no matter how hard we try. And that’s okay.

The mirror may feel like a place of judgment—highlighting everything wrong, everything lacking, everything that didn’t fit expectations. But what if the mirror wasn’t meant to criticize? What if your reflection was an invitation to see yourself with compassion, clarity, and love?

Mirror work isn’t just about looking at your reflection—it’s about rewriting the story you tell yourself. It’s about shifting the gaze from self-doubt to self-acceptance.

Swipe through to learn how mirror work can help you break free from the past and step into a more authentic, empowered version of you.
