Being alone doesn’t mean something is wrong.
Sometimes it means you’re finally listening to yourself.

Authenticity grows in the spaces where there’s no pressure to impress, no roles to play, no noise to compete with.

It’s okay to take up space in your own life.
It’s okay to be alone while you do it.

Solitude can be grounding.
And choosing yourself is always allowed.

🎥 This video features Cristina DeFuria, LMFT, sharing a gentle reminder that being alone can be a powerful, healthy part of growth.

Take a moment. There’s no right answer.

The holidays can bring many emotions — joy, grief, stress, nostalgia, and everything in between. However this season feels for you is valid.

Tell us what helps make the season feel a little lighter for you.
And if you’re finding it hard, our team is here to help.

You don’t have to carry it alone.🤍

The holidays often bring love, laughter… and a lot of pressure. 🎄

The goal of the team at TCCFR is to reframe boundaries this time of year:
• Boundaries aren’t walls meant to keep people out.
• They’re guidelines that show others how to connect with you in ways that feel safe, respectful, and sustainable.

When you name a boundary, you’re saying:
✨ This is how I can show up fully
✨ This is how I stay regulated and present
✨ This is how our relationship has the best chance to thrive

Healthy boundaries actually increase closeness—because resentment decreases and authenticity grows.

They let others know where you end and they begin, so connection can happen without harm.
This holiday season, remember:
Protecting your nervous system is not selfish.
Clarity is not cruelty.
And honoring your limits is often an invitation to deeper, more honest connection.

Conflict isn’t the problem in relationships.
Communication is.

Research shows that certain communication patterns don’t just cause arguments, they slowly wear down trust, safety, and emotional closeness over time.

The four shown in this carousel are especially harmful because they shift conversations from connection to protection:
• Criticism turns a concern into a personal attack
• Defensiveness blocks accountability and understanding
• Stonewalling creates emotional distance through withdrawal
• Contempt signals disrespect and erodes safety

Most couples don’t use these patterns on purpose. They develop as ways to cope with stress, hurt, or feeling unseen.

The hopeful part?
When these patterns are recognized, they can be interrupted and replaced with healthier ways of communicating.

Awareness is often the first step toward change.

✨ Which one shows up most for you?

My Soul cohort. What we experienced together this semester was truly remarkable. I am so hopeful for the future of our field as I watch such beautiful souls embark on the journey of becoming healers. Such an honor to witness the beginnings of it all 🙏🤍

𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬.

Cristina, LMFT and founder of TCCFR, shared this one because it’s a powerful reminder of how rare it is to sit face-to-face with the people we love — without distractions, without busyness, without anything in the way.

In both life and therapy, those quiet, undistracted moments are often where connection begins again.

✨ Make space for them whenever you can.

It might be emotional overload — and it’s more common than you think.

The good news? With support, clarity, and the right tools, connection can return.
