Feelings add fullness, color, and depth to life. Resist buying into the myth that feelings are unnecessary or make things more complicated.

What story are your behaviors reinforcing?

Loved chatting with Moore Love Connection! We talked about relationships in a pandemic, the importance of self awareness and speaking our needs in relationships. Ladies, I even called us out a little bit and discussed how we say we want men to be vulnerable but then don't know what to do with their vulnerability! Thanks for having me, Moore Love Connection! https://podcasts.apple.com//uncomplicating-l/id1327176772

"When Dismissing is used regularly, a victim begins to feel unsafe emotionally with their partner, often in their own home. They begin to safeguard their hearts from their intimate partner because they learn that their own experiences, feelings, wants and needs won’t be valued or protected by their partner. In doing this, victims begin to stuff these things down deep, and they lose their identity and ability to recognize their own value.

Being an angry woman is a stereotype placed in the backs of women to keep them quiet and pleasing. Your anger is trying to tell you something. Listen, understand, and make changes accordingly.

Real talk: don’t give into the pressure we often feel as women to be happy and calm all the time. Your emotions- all of them- are valid, important, and necessary!

Loved doing this interview with Not Another Anxiety Show! We talked about everything from the majesty of the word "somethin'" to how anger is really a secondary emotion to how easy it is to hide in our lives. We touched on how emotional awareness is the truest form of self care and about the grave that is comparison. Hope you enjoy! https://podcasts.apple.com//ep-226-living-a-/id1175495815

Important information. So many women remain in unhealthy relationships because they have become numb and desensitized to the mistreatment, manipulation, and disrespect. Abuse and unhealth can manifest in many different ways. This is a great read from The MEND Project https://themendproject.com/exposing-secret-abuse-domestic-/

Understanding surge capacity and the effects of depleted surge capacity is so important to our self care right now!

One of the things I’ve found is that women struggle to really name and claim their strengths. We’re afraid of being seen as arrogant or coming across as she thinks she’s all that. When we downplay our strengths and achievements, we play small. And when we play small, we end up feeling bored, unchallenged, resentful, and dissatisfied with our lives. When we play small, we never get to experience our full potential. Friends, name and claim your strengths. Take up all your space. Don’t hide. Don’t play small to make others feel comfortable.

In my work as a therapist, I spend a lot of time discussing unhealthy relationships and destructive relationship patterns. One of the main barriers to getting out of an unhealthy relationship or stopping/healing destructive patterns is a lack of awareness and knowledge. Often times people accept unacceptable behavior because they simply do not know better. They have been living with this behavior, they have been exposed to manipulation, abuse, and gaslighting for so long th...at it is commonplace. The behavior is no longer signaling any alarm bells and so the person doesn't realize the house is on fire, so to speak. The Power and Control Wheel is an excellent resource to help educate ourselves on destructive relationship behaviors. Once you know, once you fully realize that what is going on in your relationship is wrong, you can begin the courageous work towards healing yourself and discerning boundaries for your relationship.

So honored to be on The Workplace Therapist today! Talking about anxiety, vulnerability, and sharing a little about my own journey. Hope you'll tune in!
