So....you’re saving sex for marriage as a couple. Great! But that doesn’t mean save the DISCUSSION of Sex and Intimacy. A few points to discuss (note this is not an exhaustive list) -Pornography and Adult Entertainment (Strip Club etc.): Do you watch Porn? Have you ever watched Porn? Do you visit Strip Clubs? Etc. -Types of Content you’re consuming on a regular basis: is the content over sexualized or objectifying.... BUT ERIN....my mate is a good God fearing man/woman....I don’t even have to ask these questions. You would be surprised with how many Christian couples I’ve worked with where one of their major issues is Porn addiction. please don’t make assumptions, have open and honest dialogue. These factors play a HUGE role in intimacy and sexual satisfaction in marriage. Please don’t assume that because your mate is on the same page about the act of sex that you’re on the same page about these related topics. These can be sensitive topics so if you’re looking for a Licesned Professional to facilitate and support your relationship in these discussions please don’t hesitate to reach out: Amindfulhowse.com IG: amindfulhowse #LicensedProfessionalCounselor #Atltherapist #couplescounseling #premaritalcounseling

One of my favorite things about holiday season is witnessing so much LOVE and so many ENGAGEMENTS. But please remember that being in love does not magically erase: poor communication skills, poor boundaries, abandonment issues, insecurities and the list goes on. If you are getting married please get Pre Marital Counseling (and when I say counseling I don’t mean that 30 min meeting you have with the Pastor that is presiding over the wedding). Get everything out on the table now, because the unresolved issues will manifest themselves in your marriage. This Holiday Sale will last until Jan 8th, Feel free to message me or visit the website amindfulhowse.com for more info.

Victims of trauma and abuse are reading your posts and can hear the comments you make. Your words can either empower them to SPEAK UP or confirm their decision to STAY SILENT. #amindfulhowse #bemindfulofyourwordsVictims of trauma and abuse are reading your posts and can hear the comments you make.

PERIODT. You don’t need those materials, that relationship, dream job etc; all of those things can be great but they don’t add value to you. YOU ARE ENOUGH!

This episode of Insecure Nailed it! Postpartum Depression is REAL!!!! And it does not always come in the form of wanting to harm yourself or your kids or any of the other exaggerations we often see on tv. It is normal to feel overwhelmed. Let your loved ones know when you need a BREAK! And if the feeling persists get connected with a therapist. #youdonthavetobeSuperWoman #postpartum #MindfulMondays

Psychological Trauma: the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences. This can and does apply to a group of people who are constantly witnessing and exposed to their people being killed by those who are paid to serve and protect. We are NOT OK! #icantbreathe #sickandtired
