Sometimes in our family dynamics growing up we learn that our needs come last, that we need to sacrifice ourselves in order to be loved and accepted.

We become people-pleasers, we become very good at sensing what others need and giving it to them. We become masters of self-abandonment.

We carry this trauma with us into adulthood, and can see how the childhood trauma affects us in every relationship in adulthood. The anxiety of conditional love from caregivers has a profound effect on us.

Hey, do you want to know how to be a good parent? What is the best thing you can do for your child?

Hi, I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist in📍California, 📍New York and 📍Florida. I am also a certified trauma and couples therapist with a specialization in attachment trauma and parenting. I’ve seen clients since 2005. And if I had to tell you one, and only one piece of advice this would be it:

Make it safe for your child to tell you when you mess up. Because you WILL mess up. Then be humble and brave enough to take a look at your part and own up to it. Repair. Repair. Repair. You can be a good, loving parent and still hurt your child somehow. Their feelings are valid, what they tell you is valid even if you disagree. Why? Because feelings and personal internal experiences are not facts. We can experience the same situation very differently. And feelings are always valid. It’s better to love and be loved than to be right.

Everything starts and ends with human connection. Keep the authentic, safe connection with your child going. Model for them that it’s good to reflect, take accoutability, apologize, grow. That conflict or disagreements don’t end relationships but can make them stronger if there’s love, acceptance and understanding. And you teach them that by modeling it. 💛

You know that you have really moved on from a previous relationship when it holds no energy for you, it’s neutral. You don’t hate them, you don’t love them.

You can’t force yourself to move on if you aren’t ready. You can’t force yourself to forget someone. Healing after a breakup is painful. It takes time and can’t be rushed. What’s needed for healing is compassion.

How do you show yourself compassion after a break up? Let me know in the comments. 💭

Also share with me has it ever been difficult to leave a relationship even though that’s what you wanted to do? 💭

I’ll say it again because it's so important: compromising doesn’t mean giving up core needs.

According to Dr. John Gottman, the key to a good compromise is to first explore and decide what your core needs are on the issue and where you can be more flexible. A core need is a “must have,” not a “would be nice to have.” It ties to your values, your identity, and wellbeing.

Compromise means developing awareness about the things you can be flexible with, and meeting your partner halfway. It’s just as important to be truthful with yourself and realize what areas are inflexible for you. The idea of a healthy compromise is “we both give something up so we both can win.” The compromise will rarely feel perfect, and that’s okay.

When one partner hears, “I’m overwhelmed,” it’s easy to think she’s just talking about chores. But it’s rarely about the dishes — it’s about the mental load. The constant planning, remembering, anticipating, and carrying it all.

In this example, I’m using “husband” because it’s a common dynamic in cisgender, heteros*xual couples — but this applies to any relationship where one partner feels like they’re doing most of the emotional and household labor.

What actually helps isn’t saying, “Just tell me what to do.”

It’s taking ownership, offering empathy, and sharing the mental load.

💬 Save this for later and send it to your partner as a gentle conversation starter.

✨ You’re on the same team — sometimes you just need a reminder of how to play together again.

Love doesn’t just happen. It takes two people prioritizing each other, being brave and having difficult conversations, asking the right questions, truly listening and making someone feel seen and heard. It’s a choice to make daily.⁠

So many moms feel like they’re failing — not because they’re doing too little, but because they’re doing too much, alone.💔

You don’t need to do it all.
Your kids don’t need perfect meals or a spotless home.
They need connection, safety, and moments where you come back to calm.

If you’re exhausted, it’s not a lack of strength — it’s a sign you’ve been carrying too much.

Take something off your plate. Rest. Say no. That is good parenting. 💛

✨ Save this for when the mental load feels too heavy.
✨ Share it with a mom who needs permission to pause.

Everything we want to experience in life, such as joy, love, and freedom, could never exist without their opposites. There’s no rainbow 🌈 without rain 🌧️ and you can’t see the stars unless it’s dark.💫⁠
⁠
Our negativity about negative feelings in reaction to these events can destabilize us, make us feel stuck, make us feel differently about ourselves. You know you have healed when the past is neutral. It’s just an experience you had. It doesn’t direct your life. It no longer defines you. You are not reactive to any triggers reminding you of the past. You are free and you have taken valuable lessons from the past and directed them towards your growth.⁠
