There's power in connection, especially when it comes to healing. Attachment-Based therapy therapy isn’t about fixing something that feels broken – it's about diving deep, uncovering those wounds, and rewiring how we relate to ourselves and others. If you're tired of feeling stuck in those same old patterns or relating, it's time to get down to the foundational level and shake things up.
I used to think that being in your 20s was for figuring out who you wanted to become, and your 30s were settling into the person you spent your 20s becoming; that being in your 20s meant you had to build a foundation for your life— the blueprints, if you will.
Emotional invalidation occurs when our feelings, experiences, or perspectives are dismissed, minimized, or denied by others. It can take many forms, from outright rejection and ridicule to more subtle forms of invalidation, such as gaslighting or tone policing. Regardless of the form it takes, emotional invalidation leads us to the same place: feeling unheard and unseen in our experiences. It causes us to become anywhere from slightly upset to being completely emotionally flooded. Here, we’ll explore some key strategies to help you navigate the journey of self-validation and create a safe space for your emotional well-being. Together, we'll uncover the forms and effects of emotional invalidation, and empower you to reclaim your voice, honor your emotions, and shine your light brightest in the world.

Navigating the landscape of therapy is akin to exploring a vast toolkit, with each approach serving as a unique instrument designed to address different facets of your mental well-being. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely known and stands as a prominent tool, it's essential to recognize that therapy is multifaceted, encompassing a rich array of interventions.
In this blog post, we will explore the importance of actively retraining the mind and body to feel safe in the present moment, as well as the role of therapy in providing corrective emotional experiences that support healing.
As someone trying to support others experiencing difficult times, or navigating aspects of loss and grief, it can be hard to know what to say or do. So, what do you say or do?
We've all been there. You see someone you like, they say they like you, sparks begin to fly, and then … nothing. You don't hear from them. Days turn into weeks and they stop answering your texts. The dread-induced butterflies that once danced around in your chest suddenly have been replaced with a slight feeling of nausea. You desperately check Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and their favorite bars/restaurants on a weekly basis until … you find a match on Tinder or Hinge who ends up breaking your heart again by ghosting you.
Learning that your ‘BFFs’ turned out to be ‘Best Friends For Now’ is a challenging yet transformative process. In my mid-twenties, I was kicked out of the college group chat and I learned some of the most important lessons of my life. These lessons have helped me grow and become a better person, and I hope they can help you too.
