"You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm." - Unknown
People avoid conflict because they do not want to lose the other person in the disagreement or they have learned to avoid negative emotions all together. The part people miss is that by avoiding conflict in relationships we also rob ourselves from the opportunity of digging deeper into our relationship and connecting further with others.

Healthy conflict is important to building relationships and getting to know one another. Is there a risk that when we call someone out on something that they will become upset? Yes. Is it possible that the conflict could lead to that person not being in your life? Yes.

Storms like in life cannot be avoided but we alone can decide how we deal with them. We can resolve the conflict by getting things off our chest or we can continue to live in the overthinking, rumination, and worry. It is not our responsibility to regulate the emotions of others nor are we able to, but we can assess whether this relationship is healthy for us. If the people around us cannot make the space for safe communication and resolution it is then important to decide whether we need a greater intervention or if the relationship serves us.

The thing I have learned over the years is that our brains will take the doctrine presented to us through our years and will store it as if it should be the parameters of how we live our lives not allowing us to stray from their even if it feels like an itchy sweater.

Our desire to fit in and be accepted overshadows our self identity and genuine living. We begin what is called cognitive dissonance. We began the mental battle in our heads that can often lead to anxiety and depression.
Sometimes what we have to do is take off that sweater and find one that feels right. Find those people who are safe and wont judge you, who allow you the freedom to explore your own identity without the fear of rejection and begin taking steps to a fulfilling life.

So today I encourage you to take some steps to release yourself from that self made cage and do things that you would judge yourself for. Do the things that you enjoy or think you would. The choices that many of my clients feel they have to be intoxicated to do. You can do it without liquid courage but you have to free yourself from judgement.

Would you let anyone walk into your home? No?! We can also be selective who we allow in out lives. This doesn’t make you a bad person it makes you someone aware of the impact others can have on your mental well being.

Yes being selective can mean we lose people in our lives but it also opens up the space for the right people to come into our lives. It can be scary to make changes but don’t let that stop you from having a Better Tomorrow.

Life is all about perspective. It’s easy to look at things from a negative perspective that’s how our brains are wired but we can find beauty even in the storms. Even if the beauty comes in an interest or a person that sits with us through tough situations, we just have to be open to shifting our narrative.

There is a scene in this movie after the core emotions are booted out of headquarters that they run into the imagination lab were imagineers are tasked with thinking and creating what the worst possible scenarios are if Riley makes a decision. This is called catastrophizing. When we are faced with decisions we tend to run to the negative outcomes that can arise from the possible choices we have.

Each choice we make has consequences but that doesn't inherently mean that all consequences are negative. Some can be positive.

The truth is we don't know what is going to happen after we make a decision. We have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best knowing that there are possibilities and options that can both be positive and negative. So don't let your fear of the unknown stop you from making a life altering decision that can lead to a greater Tomorrow.

Surround yourself with supportive people who will remind you that you are wonderful and you deserve good things. Then allow yourself to take a set in that direction and be open to the possibilities.

I find that people understand what coping
mechanisms but they don't always know how to use them. When they are actually in the storm they are in a panic and do not know how to regulate that overwhelming feeling that they are drowning or treading water.

This is when it is important to remember that anxiety is about a perceived fear and that we need to stay in the present. Thinking about the future and catasrophizing makes it worse. So do activities that get you out of your own head and help you regulate your breathing.

. I'm actually impressed with this blog post. If you struggle with your emotions and not knowing what to do with them check this out. Also I love feedback so share your thoughts with me after.

Often as a therapist I find that client's struggle with emotional regulation. Most people understand the concept of coping strategies and that they in fact are to help us cope through our struggles. The truth is that there are steps to coping and it isn't just a simple equation. There is this miscon...

Life gives us seasons where we are thriving and seasons where we are treading water. For a while now I have been trying my hardest to balance all my roles but I refuse to give up on myself or my clients.
So like I often say in sessions just because we can't do things on our timeline does not mean we throw goals away all together. My goal has always been to be consistent with my post. So here we go at trying to be consistent.
Also P.S in the mist of all this I have officially gained my MSTI S*x
Therapist Certification. I am beyond proud of myself.

I know it's been a while since posting but I have found it honestly increasingly difficult to pour into my business. Since my last post I have grown enough to have a steady case load along with my role as a mother and home maker. My son struggled in Kindergarten due to his neurodivergent brain and I...
