Your brain is wired to keep you safe, and "safe" usually means "familiar." 🧠
When you step outside your routine, your system sounds an alarm. That feeling isn't a sign that you’re doing something wrong—it’s proof that you’re expanding. 🌱
When you're making a change or trying something new, discomfort might be part of the process. And that's okay. 💯
Therapy can be useful in helping you tolerate the discomfort, so you can achieve the goals you want.

Year-end reflection doesn’t have to be about what you accomplished. ✨
It can be about how you showed up -- for yourself, for others, and through moments that required courage, patience, and resilience.
Therapy can be a place to unpack that growth, honor it, and carry it forward into the new year. 🌱💫
