Let Go with Lo

Sending all of you so much love on this Valentine’s Day 💕💕

In light of recent events, I feel especially called to share this message of love, acceptance, and inclusion. These words are true for every single of you. Don't let anyone ever convince you otherwise. The Let Go With Lo community has always and will continue to be a place of safety, compassion, encouragement, and hope. We are all here to support and raise each other up, which is especially needed right now. Like and share this post to spread the love! And save it to read to yourself when the inner critic shows up or you experience anyone who plants seeds of doubt in your mind about how AMAZING you are ❤️ #letgowithlo

The winter can be challenging due to the lack of sunlight and cold temperatures, leading many to feel isolated and down. In the recent years, I have tried to focus on using winter as a time to rest, recharge, and turn inward more. I also like to find small ways to be kind and gentle to myself by focusing on self-soothing and comfort.

What are some ways you soothe yourself during winter and beyond? Comment below!

Vulnerability alert! ‼️

The issues that I work with clients on are the same things that I actively work on in my daily life too. Therapists are humans too so I think it’s important to share that we’re all in this healing work together. Some days are easier than others, and we are all works in progress.

Which one or more of these issues do you want to work on in 2025? Share in the comments below!

We often talk about feeling and validating our emotions, but what does that actually look like? In this post, I break down the differences between resisting/avoiding emotions and choosing to get curious, explore, and accept our experiences (even when they are uncomfortable and unpleasant). These ideas take consistent practice and we won't always get it right. But that's okay! Just keep trying because every moment is a new opportunity to shift and make a different choice. #letgowithlo

Happy New Year’s Eve to all! I hope you get a little time to reflect on the last year and think about your intentions for 2025.

Rather than goals, I like to think about how I want to FEEL in the new year. More joy, peace, energy, fun, etc.? And what small consistent actions can I take to cultivate those feelings?

Wishing all of you a wonderful New Year! Looking forward to continuing to learn and grow with all of you here in 2025 😀

Happy holidays to all! I hope you have a wonderful week and remember to be kind and gentle to yourself. Sending you all so much love and good wishes ♥️

try out one of these ideas as we head into this holiday week! remember that taking 30-60 seconds out of our busy day to pause, turn inward, and check in with our body will pay off. when we feel like we don't have time is often when we need it the most. sending you all lots of love ❤️ my personal favorite grounding technique is the self-hug (last one on the list). i also like breathing with a longer exhale to re-center :) #letgowithlo

There are so many different reasons why a person may choose to seek support through therapy. It is not for "crazy" people - a term which I do not like at all anyway. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather just some examples of concerns that regular people have throughout life. It can be helpful to have safe place to vent freely (without judgment). get objective support from someone outside your life, and learn new healthy ways of coping with life's challenges. We aren't meant to go through life alone. And by the way - therapists are humans too! We seek our own therapeutic support for a lot of the same reasons at various times throughout our life. Let's destigmatize the idea of making mental health a priority 🔥 #letgowithlo

Take as many as you need....not just during the holidays, but all year long! You are allowed to take care of yourself and make the decisions that are best for you (and only you know what those are). Others may not agree or understand, and that is okay. Let them be confused, sad, or even angry. And yes, it will feel awkward, uncomfortable, and nerve-wracking....I totally get it! But do it anyway because you deserve to feel good and take care of yourself. Rooting for you always! #letgowithlo

One of my favorite things to do (especially as we close out a calendar year) is to reflect back on my clients' progress with them. I love celebrating and feeling proud of all their hard work and dedication! So often when we think about what growth and healing look like, we expect perfection from ourselves. We think that progress should be linear and we should never have setbacks or else it "doesn't count." Here's the truth: progress is often small, incremental, and messy. This work is hard AND those small victories really matter! This post identifies some of the ways that I help my clients (and myself) to recognize and feel good about the ways in which they've grown. I hope it helps as you reflect on this past year and set goals for 2025 ❤️ #letgowithlo

I am currently working on this big time! Even though I do this work, I still find myself reverting back to avoiding or pushing down uncomfortable feelings. Share what helps you to feel safe, seen, and soothed when you feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable? #letgowithlo
