It’s your wisdom. Its the voice that stresses you the most. It knows what in the situation doesn’t seem right and it knows what you need. Listen well.

I see a lot of men in therapy. One of the common threads of the work is helping men to rewrite the story of masculinity. That vulnerability is a super human power. Put words to emotions they avoid. Round out the edges of the “acceptable” emotions, such as anger and frustration. Listen to what the emotion is saying and put words to it. Seeking connection as a balm.

The emotion I felt in this picture is what my dad evokes in me every time we speak. He is my hero. Happy Father’s Day to the amazing fathers out there! ❤️💫

My hero doesn’t wear a cape. He is the eternal optimist. His support is a balm for my soul in the face of uncertainty. My motivation to always do my best.

Thinking of the indelible impact fathers can have today. Happy Father’s Day! 💫❤️

Friendly reminder 🦋🦋🦋

Everyone has a reproductive story.

Unsuccessful attempts to conceive and other setbacks disrupt the story.

You might be wondering, “Why do I feel like crying when I walk past the baby aisle in the store?” “Why don’t I want to go to (yet again) another baby shower?”

These are common emotional reactions among those living with infertility. Common reactions to, “What was supposed to happen” in the reproductive story” didn’t happen in the journey to conceive and often without ways to cope with how to cope.

Women usually go inside, which increases isolation and loneliness.

What hurts more, is that no one else can see what you are going through.

I will discuss these issues and ways to cope with next Thursday 5/22 6:30pm Eastern. Hope you can join us! 🧡

This is the power of therapy.

Burying the story inside can seem like it’s the best survival strategy. When, in fact, sometimes the best way to transcend what hurts is to allow someone else to hold it with us.

The best way to manage shame is to talk about what hurts with someone.

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers, other mothers, those hoping to become mothers, those who have lost a mother, and to bonus mothers. Hope you get what you need from today ❤️🙏🏾
