Struggling with mental health and finances? Therapy is one badass way to transform our lives. I’ll be offering sliding scale rates on Thursdays. If you could benefit from talking with someone, check me out below. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!

Sometimes we avoid conflict because we don’t know how to deal with it, we have fear or we just don’t want to be bothered/add any more stress to our lives. And conflict is a natural part of life, that arises because change is being called for. When we avoid it, we also avoid opportunitiesto grow, to deepen intimacy and connection, and to heal and be free. It’s toughest to practice with loved ones. With alternative dispute resolution, support, guidance and practice it can be super enriching.

I love this...how often do you really want to connect yet are too afraid or unable? Feeling stubborn could signify a wound that needs healing, the need to feel seen/heard/understood/cared for. If we have these sticky places, they will block us from the freedom, and the connection, that our hearts (aka our inner little kids) desire.

Easier said than done, especially on one’s own. It’s taken me blood, sweat, tears, and a lotta years. It really does take a villageand it is sooooo worth it!!!

Some of us have struggled with trying to convince others to change in order to save ourselves. And because we care and it hurts to see loved ones in pain. The problem is that this rarely works, and can destroy relationships. Love and acceptance heals. When people are allowed to be who and where they are, we are more motivated to allow ourselves to be bettered. When we’re scorned for our faultsand we are all imperfect, it can push people further into the brink of self-destruc...tion. If we tend to our own garden we can be powerhouse examples and lighthouses for others who are struggling. We all have our own path and journey, and nobody else can walk it for us. You can’t save someone from their experience. When we try it can really hinder another’s growthwe increase the barrier. If this is something that you are currently facing, reach out and get support for yourself. We can only truly love and care for others when we can actually offer that nourishment to ourselves. I can assist you in exploring what is blocking you and show you how to communicate from your own experience. It’s an inside job first See more
