When you meet yourself with less shame, something powerful happens.

✨You stop escalating the spiral.
✨You stop fighting your own nervous system.
✨You stop treating your fear like the enemy.

And that’s when real safety starts being built,
not outside of you…but inside of you. 🤍

You don’t have to feel calm all the time to be healing.
You just have to keep shortening the distance between activation and care.

That’s what we’re practicing.
And you’re not behind.

✨ You’re in it.

Therapy supervisor: reads brain rot phrases

Us: fighting for our lives trying not to laugh 🤣
Because yes, we take mental health seriously… but not ourselves.

Stories that help kids name feelings, build courage, and grow confidence, therapist recommended 🤍

02/16/2026

The goal isn’t always calm, because let’s face it we are humans and we can’t expect ourselves or others to get it right every single time! It’s about approaching yourself with a gentle curiosity so that over time the small practices teach our bodies that we don’t have to panic to feel safe.

✨You are not failing!
✨ You are practicing!
✨ Your nervous system is paying attention!

Today’s fit is giving ‘tell me how that made you feel’ but make it fashion.

A great way to build connection is through play.

Jenga + meaningful questions = laughter, stories, and deeper conversations.

Therapy skills disguised as family fun.

Answering your Primal Question differently begins to bring about different feelings that allow you to catch on quicker, you recover quicker, and you don’t abandon yourself so quickly. It’s a beautiful gift!

Outfit of the day: therapist chic with a side of emotional support.

What do we do when we realize our Primal Question is running the show? Because awareness is powerful…
but most of us want to know:

How do I actually feel safer?
How do I stop spiraling?
How do I respond differently?

Here’s the Truth:
Your Primal Question isn’t something you think your way out of. It’s something you begin answering through safety, steadiness, and repair.

First, remember this:

Your Primal Question was formed in moments when your nervous system learned:
- Connection might not be reliable
- Needs might not be met
- Love might feel conditional
- Safety might require hypervigilance

So when it gets activated now, your body is not being dramatic.
Your body is being protective.

Read that one more time.

The goal isn’t to erase the question…
The goal is to begin answering it differently.

Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
Just gently.

Practicing radical acceptance with my clients like….

Radical acceptance is the practice of fully acknowledging reality as it is in this moment without judgment or resistance, so you can reduce suffering and respond with clarity instead of fighting what can’t be changed.

Emotion-Focused Candyland in Therapy

Every color represents a feeling:

🔴 Red = Anger
🔵 Blue = Sad
🟢 Green = Anxious
🟡 Yellow = Happy
🟠 Orange = Scared
🟣 Purple = Mischievous

Each time a color is drawn, pause to talk about a time that emotion was felt, what it looks like in the body, and how you usually respond to it.

Games like this aren’t “just for fun” they help lower defenses, build therapeutic rapport, and give kids a safe, playful way to explore big feelings that might otherwise be hard to name.

Because sometimes the best conversations happen over a board game and a handful of candy.

You can even play this at home with your kids, changing the prompts to different questions to build connection and memories.

01/26/2026

When we feel disconnected, our primal question is activated asking: Am I safe, secure, loved, wanted, successful, or good enough. When activated we may notice patterns of fixing, overdrive, shutting down, numbing out, snapping blaming, getting defensive, people pleasing, or over apologizing.  
But this aren’t character flaws, they are forms of protection. These are learned responses from childhood, from moments when we didn’t feel safe, seen, or secure. 
This small practice of pause, naming, and asking isn’t about forcing calm. It’s about creating a little space between the trigger and the spiral. Because healing often looks like this: learning to meet the moment with more gentleness and more choice.”
