Love languages are an extremely popular way to learn more about yourself, your partner, your family, and your friends what you both need to do to make your relationship a success. They can even be used for platonic relationships or even just to better understand your own needs. While many people appreciate love being shown in multiple ways, according to Dr.Chapman(creator), each person has one primary love language which is the way they prefer to show and receive love. But what are the love languages, and how are they actually useful?  So let's talk about it!

Healing is a strange journey. Just as you take a few steps forward, you are knocked a few steps back. Trauma and upset have a way of MESSING UP our lives and shaping the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes we have to look back, but dwelling there too often can leave us tied to the mistakes. We must look back and understand the survival patterns that brought us to our current place in life. These adaptive styles inform everything from the way we form relationships to the way we communicate. Unlock these patterns and you free yourself to start over. LET'S TALK

IT'S YOUR GIRL BIRTHDAY WEEKEND AND I'M STARTING IT OFF RIGHT! I'LL BE BACK ON MONDAY

Everybody wants to matter. To make a difference. To stand out, be noticed, and admired (maybe even envied) by others. It starts when we’re children. “Hey Mom, look at me!” we shout. “Dad, watch me!” we say, anxious for our parents to pay attention, applaud and show us that we matter. What we don’t understand is that our parents already love us. There’s no need to perform. Most people’s minds are loud, chaotic, and full of self-judgments and negativity. Assaulted with a near-constant stream of worries and anxieties, many of us have learned to be afraid of our own thoughts. So we fill our time and attention with distractions and busyness to avoid getting caught with even a few spare moments of mental downtime. We all know this doesn't work...LET'S TALK!

Negative thinking can contribute to problems such as social anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. The key to changing your "NEGATIVE THOUGHTS"  is to understand how you think now (and the problems that result), then use strategies to change these thoughts or make them have less of an effect.

"Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all linked, so our thoughts impact how we feel and act. So, although we all have unhelpful thoughts from time to time, it’s important to know what to do when they appear so we don’t let them change the course of our day, LET'S TALK!

We’ve been sold this incredibly toxic idea of what the perfect or “moral” life looks like. We're pressured always to put others before ourselves. While it may be noble to care for others as you care for yourself, sacrificing is akin to self-sabotage when you leave nothing left for you. That’s because you can’t be fully there for yourself when you’re solely there for everybody else. You deserve as much of your time, focus, affection, and effort as anyone else does. LET'S TALK

With more people talking openly about mental health, gaslighting has become an increasingly common topic over the last few years. Gaslighting and other forms of emotional abuse have also shown up in popular media recently—for example, in the Netflix series Maid, the novel, and the movie.

But before you accuse someone of this behavior, it’s important to understand what gaslighting really means and how to look for the signs of gaslighting in a relationship.

Let’s take a closer look at the definition and origin of the word gaslighting, the mental health impact of this behavior, and how to tell if someone is gaslighting you. LET'S TALK
