3 Reasons you should go to Therapy..

 So before I start writing this blog for the second time, Can you believe my phone decided to delete all of the bomb information I had for you guys. So yea, You can see how my Sunday is going! 


Are you going through a major life change? Going through a breakup or adjusting to who you are becoming or even still dealing with childhood trauma? I believe these are all great reasons to consider going to therapy..We all have different ways that we choose to deal with life, but going to therapy has really helped me in healing childhood wounds and forming healthier relationships.


A lot of people don't want to admit that they are toxic or need professional help because they are in denial. I'm here to tell you there is nothing to be ashamed of. I spend a great deal of my early 20's reliving the past and being unhealthy in my relationship and with myself. It wasn't because I was a bad person, it was because I didn't understand what healthy relationships or being healthy to myself looked like. I remember nights I cried and prayed to god because I desperately wanted to be better for myself and for those around me. 

I constantly was triggered when people said certain things to me because it brought me back to a point in my life that I did not want to remember. I was constantly battling my emotions and didn't really understand them. As I began therapy, I later understood why I reacted the way I did to certain things. I believe a part of healing is having those difficult conversations about how you contributed to your own painful circumstances.


3 Reasons you should consider Therapy


1. You want to change something about your life-

This is the one! I think this was a part of the reason I decided to go to therapy. There were certain things about myself I wanted to change. Let's face it! I don't know anyone who fully loves the way they are all the time. I believe it's certain things some of us look at and know we can improve. If you are anything like me and obsessed with bettering yourself you are always looking for new ways to grow and evolve into who you're meant to be. Therapy can help you with becoming better in certain areas of your life.



2. Your childhood trauma is affecting the way you are as an adult-

Maybe your family always bullied you, and now as an adult, you are treating people poorly. A lot of is don't realize that there was a certain way you should treat people, but it is. To be exact a healthy way to treat people. As an adult, it's not cool to treat people poorly or disrespect them, at least in my opinion. Whatever your childhood trauma is, try to relate that to your adult life, and if it is affecting you and your relationships this is another great reason to go to therapy.



3. You are adjusting to a major life change-

As someone who is always moving to a different state every 2 years, I can definitely relate to this one. Adjusting to a major life change can be tough. Whether you are moving, getting married, or having kids. This is a new chapter for you and you deserve to feel great about the decisions you are making. Therapy if a great way to get a positive perspective on the decisions you are making that support your next chapter in life.


I genuinely hope that this blog encouraged you to seek therapy if you are considering it because it has really changed my life.

Holding yourself Accountable & Letting It Go!

  Are you going through some s***? Me too! I hope you are holding yourself accountable but also letting the past go! Holding yourself accountable gives you an opportunity to reflect on what you did wrong so you won't make the same mistake twice. Letting it go is important for your mental health! Definition  ( Accountability):  Accountability is the acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions. Benefits of  ( Letting Go):  Letting go can improve your overall health and prevent long-term health problems. Holding on to things can cause stress and stress can put us at risk for heart disease and other health issues. Omg, y'all!  Things have been super rocky in my personal life lately. A few times I wanted to say f*** it and hide under a rock but I was reminded that no matter what life throws at me I caused on myself. The conversation stopped being "Why me?" & it became "How do I fix this?". My Experience: I got tired of blaming others for why I went...

Please don’t take life to serious!

  I know we’ve all heard someone say “ Life is not a game ”. I am here with a unpopular opinion. “ Please don’t take life to serious ”. If you are stressing over financial problems, relationship breakup, difficulties at work or school, injury or illness. You are making things harder for yourself and the healing process. Maybe you are going through a hard time financially, you are going through a breakup, maybe a health scare or family drama.   We all know we go through things so why must we make things more difficult than what they are? By having your everyday life issues at the top of your mind how will it help you? I’m not saying to ignore life’s issues but at-least make the best out of them because it’s only temporary. We are all human and we have our moments of uncertainty, moments of weakness and moments we need to heal etc but why not try to still live a fulfilling life despite what’s going on?  I believe going through difficult moments and finding ways to keep you ...

Becoming Someone Different - Aligning with your Future Self

Are you becoming who you desire to be or are you stuck?   I think this is the most challenging thing to ask. It is important to get clear on what you want so that you don't fall into the trap of becoming what you don't want to be! Everything we say we want must align with the decisions we make.  REALITY CHECK. You want to lose weight -> Did you change your diet? You want to save money -> Did you create a savings plan? You want a healthy relationship -> Are you actively working on yourself? It's okay to want to become someone different, better, positive, optimistic etc. Whatever you want to become you are only one decision away from becoming! Is everything you want aligning with your actions? If you answered NO, you are doing it all wrong. I know we often talk about manifesting but manifesting will not work if we don't put actions behind the things we say we want. We are in NOVEMBER, I challenge you to say “NO” to the things that no longer align with what you wa...
