The gift of pain is one of life’s strangest alchemies. It carves deep hollows within us, but these empty spaces transform into vessels perfectly shaped to hold the pain of others. When you’ve navigated your own darkness, you gain an intuitive ability to recognize it in another’s eyes.⁣

There’s a sacred moment in that recognition. A quiet but powerful connection: “I see you. I know this shadow you carry.” Often, we reach out because we remember what it felt like to stand alone in our storms, longing for someone to offer shelter or light. That shared humanity becomes the bridge between wounds, creating a space for healing.⁣

This kind of compassion is precious, but it can also be consuming. If you’re not mindful, the same heart that wants to carry others can collapse under the weight of too much. Supporting someone doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself. Boundaries aren’t walls, but bridges offering self-preservation, allowing you to keep showing up without losing yourself.⁣

Compassion is a renewable resource, but only if you care for its source. You can’t be a sanctuary for others if your own foundation is crumbling. To honour someone else’s pain without abandoning your own healing is an act of wisdom and love. Real compassion isn’t about martyrdom; it’s about walking alongside someone while staying rooted in your own needs.⁣

Finding this balance allows you to give from a place of abundance, not depletion. It ensures that your kindness doesn’t become self-erasure and that your gift of holding space remains as healing for you as it is for them.

Sources tell NPR that more than 100 employees have been laid off at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had some cuts reversed late Saturday.

As many of you know, aside from my practice, …I lead a large team of therapists for the SAMHSA, 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline and NFL hotline. Though our agency based out of New York City has not been affected to date. This is deeply disheartening. This is a travesty. We are moving backwards in this country while on the brink of a mental health crisis. It’s a devastating step backward at a time when our nation is on the brink of a mental health crisis. We cannot afford to turn back the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve.
