I remember waking up a morning after a disagreement with my boyfriend (now husband) staring at my nightstand of self help books, fighting the urge to check my texts to see if he replied, and had a huge realization that knowing I was triggered wasn’t helping me to feel any better.
I had sat on professional couches for years explaining my family history, read the "suggested books", and while they helped me to understand what was happening, none of them really helped me to behave differently when I really wanted to.Â
Recently, all I see is teaching why you’re anxious, but not how to do something differently when those triggers happen.Â
One of my clients got engaged, and when we were reflecting on her journey, we were remembering how she went from white knuckling her week pretending she was ok...
into being able to be fully present for the tiny moments that made their connection stronger than ever. That’s what this is for.Â
You can’t think your way out of overthinking, you’ve got to practice the steps to walk out of it.Â
That’s what we’re doing inside the Secure Love Lab.
