The Therapy Parlor

ethically practicing… then ethically outside 🤭💅🏽

Clients don’t always need answers. Sometimes they just want be and feel heard. 💛

I love my clients… and talking with my hands 🤣❤️

Regulating my nervous system one recipe at a time.
Mocktail in hand. Boundaries intact. Stove on low. 💛

High-achievers are rarely “lazy”. �They’re exhausted from always being on.

Rest feels unsafe when your identity is tied to performance.
Slowing down can feel like falling behind.
And pushing throw becomes the default until your body or mind forces a stop.

If rest feels harder than work, it’s not a character flaw.
It’s a nervous system that never learned how to downshift.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need recovery that actually works.

💾Save this if it resonates.
🤍You’re not broken, your overextended

Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It often means something old no longer fits and something new hasn’t fully formed yet.

This space can feel uncomfortable, but it’s also where growth happens.

You’re allowed to take your time.

When your brain says, “You’re behind,” try responding with:
“I’m allowed to go at a human pace. What I’ve done so far is enough for today.”

Sometimes your nervous system needs reassurance, not pressure.
