Therapist here! Practicing for 12 years. Owning a group practice and supervising some of the best up and coming therapists.

Here, we focus on creating a lot of space for all of your emotions to exist.

Here, we start to build awareness around what your nervous system learned to feel safe, connected, and loved.

Here, we begin to create safety around speaking out about your feelings, your needs, your desires, your boundaries, your wants.. and we help you communicate those things to the people who are most important.

Here, we build safety within. We find our limits, our no-go’s, our tender spots, so that we can share them with others.

Here, we celebrate all the small wins when you lean into your wise self and begin to do the things that align with your values and true authenticity.

Babe, you can rest easy here. You can start building relational safety even if you’ve never felt that before.

Ready? When you’re ready, our team is here to help.

Sound familiar?!

This can happen early on when your nervous system learned a big lesson.

It wasn’t safe to have needs.

⚡️You learned to scan the room instead of scanning your body.
⚡️You learned to predict everyone else’s mood.
⚡️You learned that when you had a need, no one heard it or tended to it which left you feeling chronically let down or small.
⚡️You learned to stay low maintenance.
⚡️You learned to be easy, quiet, helpful, agreeable, or hyper-independent. (For more on hyper-independence, go check out my girl )

Your system did the smartest thing it could do. Shut down your needs in order to stay safe and survive.

💥That’s why now as an adult you’re not in touch with what you need in this moment or when you’re struggling in your relationship.
💥You can anticipate others needs, but struggle to ask for help.
💥Feel overwhelmed by your emotions or feel super needy at times.
💥Second guess yourself. A lot.

Healing now, babe is slowly teaching your body that it’s allowed to need. It’s allowed to take up space. And it’s allowed to ask.

“I had a great childhood! I had food and a roof over my head and there wasn’t anything crazy big that happened.”

Is what I hear from sooo many of my clients. Who are also saying “but I’m sooo anxious and depressed. I have low self esteem, and my relationships are suffering.”

As we unpack what their childhood looked like.. we slowly sort out traumatic experiences that just seemed normal to them.. but we’re less than ideal for their nervous systems.

When we view their symptoms through the lens of trauma.. it makes sense they would feel so incredibly anxious.. because they have been in flight or fight since they were a young child as they survived the unendurable.

There is space for you to be heard. To unpack what it was like for little you.

It’s not just “how it was”. It was s**tty experiences and your pain is valid.

How does this statement resonate with you 👇🏼

“I fu**ed up” vs. “I’m such a f**k up”

Because there is definitely a difference!

Guilt is a feeling you get when you did something wrong, or perceived you did something wrong. Shame is a feeling that your whole self is wrong, and it may not be related to a specific behavior or event.

When you feel guilty about the wrong thing you did, you can take steps to make up for it and put it behind you. But feeling shame is much more complex. You may have been convinced early on that YOU ARE the thing that’s wrong so it may feel hard to really “come back” to feeling more positive about yourself.

People who grew up in abusive environments, can easily get the message that they are undeserving, inadequate, and inferior.

Shame literally gets woven into your self esteem, self image, and self concept.

So how do we change this?

1. Talk about what you’re feeling with someone who is safe. (Support system or therapist)
2. Journal to really express and explore some of these deep feelings.
3. Have some self compassion for yourself, are we being a bully to ourself or a mentor?
4. Connecting with your inner child and being who they needed back then when they weren’t feeling like a “good kid”

Share with someone who may need this!

Time to check in about where you are with the boundaries you uphold, because we all fall somewhere.

When you’ve experienced trauma, you’re more often going to fall into either mostly rigid or weak boundary categories unless you’ve done some healing work.

If you’re finding yourself really unhappy in your relationships, you may want to look at your boundaries in these relationships.

In therapy, we look at the boundaries you’ve set (or haven’t) in the relationships that matter to you most and we tweak how you approach these.

One thing that has been most valuable for my clients is using this phrase:

“I know that in the past I have ___ but I’ve been working on taking better care of myself and that is why I’m going to ___.”

If you’re ready to work on your boundaries, let’s chat.

You’ve come to the realization that you’re stuck, you’re wanting to dig deeper, feeling anxious or depressed and unable to manage life like you used to or maybe things from your past are coming up more frequently.

Maybe you’re struggling in your relationship or with connecting with your child or managing your emotions when overwhelmed by your children’s emotions. Or maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and your self esteem has gone to s**t.

We got you. ✨

Balance and Bloom offers trauma informed modern therapy where you get to come as you are and find comfort and support as you work through life’s biggest obstacles.

We offer a wide range of experience with modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, CBT, DBT, IFS informed work and attachment based therapy.

We offer free 15 min intro calls where you can ask any and all questions and see if we’re a good fit.

I see you over there and I am so proud of the work you’re doing.

It’s hard. It can be lonely. It can feel never ending. It feels exhausting. There is grief that comes with understanding of past relationships. But with all of those hills you’re climbing… you get to reach some freedom at the top of the mountain.

You get to bask in the sun, feel the cool breeze, inhale what feels like growth, clarity, & peace.

Whether you’re in the trenches, climbing through unstable grounds, or at the top of the mountain, I’m proud of you and your journey. 🩷

Your inner child is a part of you and it may need a little TLC.

Your inner child is the child-like part of your unconscious mind. You may have picked up messages growing up that you are still clinging to as you may feel like it’s the only way to get love.

Meet that child. Name them. That child was good enough as is and worthy of all the love even if their caregiver didn’t know how.

You are worthy of love my friend and your inner child deserves to heal.

Which one resonates with you?

A therapist can really help you w**d through all this and if you want to work through it with me, the link is in the bio.
