✨ What Couples Should Talk About Before Buying Gifts for Each Other ✨

Navigating gift-giving in relationships can bring up excitement… and sometimes stress.
Before you shop, try having a quick conversation around these topics:

🎁 1. Expectations
Are you doing small thoughtful gifts? Big gifts? No gifts? Getting clear prevents misunderstandings.

💰 2. Budget
Agree on a spending range that feels good for both of you. Avoid secret resentment later.

💞 3. Meaning vs. Material
Do you prefer sentimental gifts, practical gifts, shared experiences, or surprises?
Knowing each other’s love languages truly helps.

🗓️ 4. Timing
Will you exchange early? Morning-of? At an event? Simple clarity reduces anxiety.

🗣️ 5. Feelings About Gifts
Some people love surprises, others get overwhelmed. Share your comfort level so gifting feels safe and connecting.

Healthy communication is love.
And small conversations prevent big conflicts. 💛

Healing doesn’t always come from just talking. With EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), you can process traumatic memories in a powerful, research-backed way — and reclaim peace, calm, and stability. 🌿

At Placer Therapy, we guide you through EMDR with care, compassion, and deep expertise.
Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

✨Exploring Different S*xual Styles✨
S*x isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s an evolving expression of connection, energy, and embodiment.

Here are a few different ways people explore intimacy:

💫 Trance S*x — A meditative, slowed-down experience where breath, movement, and energy create deep presence and altered states of connection.

🤍 Partnered S*x — Focused on mutual pleasure, communication, and attunement to one another’s needs and boundaries.

🎭 Role Playing — A playful and creative way to step into different parts of self, enhancing safety, curiosity, and erotic exploration.

As a therapist, I see how understanding our unique s*xual style can open deeper healing, trust, and pleasure within ourselves and in relationship.

🪷 Therapy can support you in exploring s*xuality through mindfulness, embodiment, and compassion.

💔 Three Feelings Often Overlooked in Healing 💔

So often in the healing process, we focus on the symptoms — anxiety, insecurity, fear — but miss the roots underneath.
Three of the most painful, yet often overlooked, emotions are:

1️⃣ Betrayal – when trust is broken and the nervous system stays on alert
2️⃣ Abandonment – when love or safety was withdrawn and we learned to self-protect
3️⃣ Rejection – when our authentic self was unseen or unwanted

These experiences shape how we attach, how we love, and how safe we feel in connection.

As a therapist, I look for these roots to support deeper healing — not just coping, but transformation. 🌿

If this resonates, I offer EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy to help you gently reconnect with the parts of you that need repair.
