But what If I fall apart?!?!” We think. What if I stay sad?! What if it doesn’t help? What if I don’t feel better? A friendly reminder to surrender. The soul knows exactly our timing to heal. Happy Wednesday 🌟

If you would have told me a year ago that I’d be making this transition for 1 year and counting I never would have believed you. Coming from someone who struggles with automatic phone updates, the world of virtual therapy did not seem possible.. or enticing OR healing to me yet here we are. I have been eternally thankful, inspired and impressed by my clients resilience and patience during this past year, not to mention their openness to engage in not only talk therapy but deep tissue trauma work, all over telehealth. Resilience demonstrated in real time. How lucky am I to be able do this work?? Shine on, people🌟

Back at it y’all! Which means I now answer emails and scheduling questions while snuggling a baby and the real question is: does black and white make me look more well rested? No. But does it make me look more professional and organized????? Sadly also no.

The partners we choose are based on our earliest attachment patterns and wounding. We are hardwired to attract and gravitate to what we know and what we feel is comfortable or familiar in relationships. This is completely subconscious. Luckily our wounding is really just a window to our potential healing, and the gift of it comes from when we are able to shift our subconscious behaviors and patterns to intentional, thoughtful patterns of communication and connection. When we do so we shift into a ventral or regulated state which is the only emotional state where true intimacy can happen.
Where to start? Practice meeting your own needs before asking or expecting your partner to do so.

I was fortunate enough to spend this past weekend learning about how to use brainspotting to treat traumatic responses in the body. As trauma therapists we learn that trauma is stored at a physiological level meaning that in order to treat trauma effectively we have to target physical responses as well as memories and mental images. If we don’t use the body to help they mind heal we are missing most of the puzzle.

What does it feel like to be “brain spotted,” as the client? As my client put it yesterday:
“WHOA - this is like next level meditation or some sh*t.” 😂

If talking to a lot of people has given me any perspective it is this: Many things have been very very fu**ed lately. Please be good to yourself.

Ever get so bogged down by the noise of the world that you find yourself disconnected from how you actually even FEEL?! Same. Friendly reminder that the way we feel about any given thing is never wrong. It will always guide us towards what we need and what we deeply know to be true. Our feelings and our intuition are our superpower so let’s practice tuning inward.

Did you know that most of the ways we respond to stress as adults are coping strategies and trauma responses we learned as children? Children are incapable of regulating their own emotions, and are only able to tolerate emotional distress when able to co-regulate with a functional adult, parent or care-giver. If our parents didn’t learn to regulate their own emotions, or had their own unresolved trauma... OR if our parents were just human and therefore imperfect and didn’t learn certain skills to self regulate, they likely weren’t always available to help us co-regulate. As adults, our healing begins when we stop pushing these parts of ourselves away and start listening, nurturing, affirming and validating.

This has been coming up a lot lately.. how do we shift our energy when feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Oftentimes people who tell me they struggle with anxiety really just struggle to tune into their emotions, (energy,) and then shift or release it.
Step one: tune in
Step two: name it “I feel anxious, tight in my chest, busy in my head etc.”
step three: shift your energy
Step four: repeat
Don’t overthink it - it’s more about intention than action. Happy Wednesday, folks.
