Trust isn’t about never messing up.⁠
It’s about showing up, taking responsibility, and repairing again and again.⁠
⁠
In relationships, it’s the small, consistent actions—apologies, follow-through, accountability—that build real trust.⁠
⁠
Your partner doesn’t need perfection.⁠
They need reliability, repair, and presence. ❤️⁠
⁠
Save this for when you need a reminder about what real trust looks like in love.⁠

Healing anxiety isn’t about eliminating fear or “fixing” your thoughts.

It’s about changing your relationship with them.
Anxious thoughts can show up—and you can still live a meaningful life.

You can feel discomfort and choose actions aligned with your values.

You can stop fighting your inner experience and start creating space for it.

This is not resignation.
It’s psychological flexibility—and it’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term mental health.

You don’t have to wait for anxiety to disappear to move forward.

Regrets. Been talking to so many people about what they could have, should have done differently in the past.

Some took the wrong path and life changed drastically.

Life moves fast. One day you wake up and it’s not exactly what you thought life would look like.

I am here to tell you that your life has a beautiful story and the ending is untold. You can still make changes towards things that matter to you.

Pursue that career.
Leave the toxic job that drains you.
Reach out to your loved one and pour your heart out.
Make that true apology even if you are scared.
Ask someone on a date.
Leave a bad relationship.
Start a new hobby.
Travel. Let go. Start again.

You’re not lazy.
�You were taught to believe everything comes down to willpower.�So when things feel hard, you shame yourself instead of supporting yourself.

But struggling isn’t a character flaw.�It’s a signal.

The parts of you that feel anxious, tired, scared, or stuck don’t need discipline — they need understanding.
�Change doesn’t come from silencing those parts.�It comes from listening to them.
You’re not broken.You’re human.�

Healthy relationships aren’t built on mind-reading or winning arguments.
They’re built on curiosity, gentleness, and emotional safety.

These are the skills couples therapy teaches — and they can change everything.

Save this for your next hard conversation 💛

Telling the truth sometimes can be difficult. Sometimes we think we are protecting our children from adult problems but we are not if we leave them alone with questions. Our job isn’t to protect our kids from the world. Our job is to walk alongside them and guide them. With love. With understanding. ⁠
⁠
It’s your loving presence and your acceptance that will be remembered by your child as they grow into adulthood. ⁠

Your younger self is still with you.

Not to sabotage you — but to protect you the only way they knew how.

The parts of you that people-please, doubt themselves, or stay quiet aren’t broken.

They’re carrying old beliefs from a time when you didn’t have the tools, support, or power you have now.
Healing isn’t about pushing those parts away.

It’s about building a bridge.

Sometimes that bridge looks like therapy.
Sometimes it looks like words your adult self offers your younger self — over and over again — until safety replaces shame.

Connection comes before change.

Save this for the moments your younger parts show up 💛

Most of your “symptoms” are a result of small and big traumas/painful experiences of the past, even if they happened when you were very little and can’t remember them. You may be surprised to find out that your mind and body react now just as they should-protecting you from harm by being hypervigilant, putting walls up, people-pleasing, shutting down, getting defensive, etc. Here are some facts for you. Early childhood trauma can be things that happened to you, or things that should have happened to you but didn’t. Trauma is stored in the right side of the brain. This part is emotional, behavioral, somatosensory, nonverbal and perceptual. So you may feel things before actually understanding what’s happening and why. This part of the brain develops first when you’re a baby. And they are remembered in our bodies and minds.

Trauma freezes the integrative process of the brain. 🧠 Information is stored in a fragmented form- visual, auditory, somatic, etc. This is where your current triggers live. Traumatized people also have a more active limbic system, which is responsible for fleeing, fighting, feeding, and reproduction. When faced with any threat, your mind and body will react. Everything about your concerns makes sense. Healing is possible for you.

What you are experiencing is normal because you are a human being. 💛

“Why can’t you behave like your big sister?”

“See, Betty has no problem finishing her food and saying thank you!”

“Look at Tom, he always does his homework with no questions asked.”

“Fred gets straight As and helps his mom clean up too!”

Now let me ask you this. If I pointed out everything that you, as a parent/partner/business owner/employee etc. isn’t doing that someone else is doing better, would that motivate you or would that make you feel shame?

Shame is never motivating. It’s hurtful. It dismisses our individual differences, nuances of situations and creates disconnection as well as breaks trust between people.

Thoughts? 🤔

Gaslighting doesn’t just “hurt your feelings.”⁠
⁠
Research shows it actively disrupts memory, self-trust, emotional regulation, and decision-making.⁠
⁠
People who are gaslighted often present with:⁠
• Chronic self-doubt⁠
• Confusion and mental fog⁠
• Hypervigilance⁠
• Emotional suppression⁠
• Difficulty leaving harmful relationships⁠
⁠
Not because they’re weak — but because psychological manipulation rewires how safe it feels to trust yourself. I see these patterns every day in my work.⁠
⁠
And one of the most dangerous parts of gaslighting is how invisible it can feel while it’s happening.⁠
⁠
This isn’t about learning how to tolerate toxic behavior better.⁠
It’s about learning how to recognize manipulative dynamics early, stop internalizing the damage, and safely exit environments that are harming you.⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it really that bad — or am I overreacting?”⁠
That question alone is often the result of gaslighting.⁠
⁠
Follow for more education on:⁠
• gaslighting and psychological manipulation⁠
• trauma-informed healing⁠
• rebuilding self-trust⁠
• leaving toxic relationships safely⁠
⁠
You’re not imagining it. And you don’t have to navigate this alone.⁠

Your child isn’t just learning rules, routines, or words.⁠
They’re learning who they are in relationship.⁠
⁠
Every early interaction quietly answers lifelong questions:⁠
Am I lovable?⁠
Do my feelings matter?⁠
What happens when I’m upset or make a mistake?⁠
⁠
These experiences shape attachment—⁠
which influences how your child regulates emotions, builds empathy, forms relationships, and sees themselves well into adulthood.⁠
⁠
This isn’t about being a perfect parent.⁠
It’s about being present, responsive, and willing to repair.⁠
⁠
Small moments.⁠
Lasting impact.⁠
⁠
💛 Save this for the days you’re doubting yourself.⁠
💛 Share with a parent who needs this reminder.⁠
⁠
In healing,⁠
