Connection is a healing path back to yourself. So reach out, let someone in, sit across from a friend, or share a moment with someone you care about. Because we’re not meant to do this alone; we’re meant to heal together.

Here’s a reminder, backed by science, that choosing connection is choosing health, happiness, and transformation:

🤝 55% of Communication Is Nonverbal — Sometimes it’s not what we say, but simply our presence that speaks volumes.

🤝 Disconnection From Others Leads to Increased Stress, Depression & Anxiety — When we feel isolated, we suffer. Togetherness helps ease that weight.

🤝 Lack of Connection Is Worse for Your Health Than Obesity, Smoking & High Blood Pressure — Relationships matter more than we realize. Our health depends on them.

🤝 Connection Strengthens Your Immune System & Helps You Recover From Disease Faster — Healing - physically, mentally, and emotionally - happens in community.

🤝 In-Person Connection Increases & Strengthens Social & Cognitive Brain Development — We grow, learn, and become more ourselves when we’re connected.

I’m thankful virtual options exist but these are some of the reasons why I generally prefer in-person therapy. Being in the presence of another person opens up the opportunity to build trust and be vulnerable in a way that can bring so much healing 💙
