Therapeutic Attitudes You Might Encounter

  • This process isn’t about trying to “fix” you, improve your attitude, or modify your behavior.

    It’s about releasing burdens and blocks to healing, finding relief, coming back to life, and unfurling more and more of who you gloriously are. And sure, once you’re feeling better your outlook and choices may feel a little sunnier, but it will have come from you - from caring for yourself and tending to your needs rather than performing or conforming to appease some cultural standard.

  • Brain/body/spirit/emotion-based rather than thought or behavior-based

    Yes, you’ll end up learning what to do with your big emotions, negative cognitions, and shame-ey beliefs, which may help you feel less at the mercy of undesired habits or stuckness. But it happens organically through a loving understanding of your unique self & values rather than trying to fit a generic picture of what “healthy” is supposed to be.

  • We don’t need you to perform or "mask" around here

    You don’t have to give eye contact, you can put your shoes on the couch, you can slump into the pillows, you can burrow under the weighted blanket, you can play with fidgets, you can color, you can stare off into space… You don’t need to burn all that social energy that could be better spent on your healing. Take all the room you need to flow and be comfortable as you are.
