"People come into sessions weighed down by expectations that were never theirs to carry. Parents, churches, teachers, and entire systems have told them how to live, how to think, and what to feel. They’ve spent years inside invisible prisons, believing the walls were real. For a long time, those walls can even feel like home. We grow accustomed to the weight of guilt and the illusion of control. We organize our lives around keeping the peace, pleasing others, or avoiding disappointment, and we call that normal."...

When Love Becomes a Drug: What Elizabeth Gilbert’s New Memoir Teaches Us About Codependency

“In therapy, we talk about codependency as a pattern of losing yourself in someone else’s emotions, needs, or dysfunction. You feel responsible for their well-being. You take their moods pers…

The brain science that makes true relief possible after years of pain. Last week, I mentioned a couple of therapy approaches—Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—that have been game changers for many of my clients (and for me personally). This week, I want to zoom out and talk about why they work so well. We’re going to take a little walk through brain science together, but don’t worry, I’ll keep it simple and practical....

"The home we grow up in becomes our very first version of the world. When you’re a child, there is no separation between your house and the larger universe beyond it. If home feels safe and nurturing, the world feels like a place where curiosity is encouraged and love is freely given. But if home feels unpredictable or threatening, that sense of danger gets projected outward."...

For years, I thought of junk food as a purely physical problem. Eat too much pizza or ice cream, and you pay for it on the scale or in how your clothes fit. It seemed simple enough: junk food was about the body, not the brain. But over time—both in my personal life and in my counseling practice—I’ve seen a very different reality unfold....

An open letter to parents about the quiet panic hiding behind so many first-day smiles. Dear Parents, Every fall, my social media feed floods with first-day-of-school photos—bright smiles, crisp outfits, brand-new sneakers. And I really do love those pictures. I love seeing the children of my friends growing up, watching how much they’ve changed year to year, and catching a glimpse of their excitement as they head into a new season of life....

"The truth is, most of us don’t wake up in the morning planning to play any of these roles. We don’t think, Today I’m going to be a Victim before lunch and a Persecutor by dinner. But the triangle is sneaky. It feeds on old patterns, unresolved wounds, and the parts of us that desperately want to be seen, heard, or in control."...
