Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! Have you ever found yourself agreeing to something you didn't want to do, simply because you couldn't muster the courage to say "no"? If so, you're not alone. Many of us struggle with the idea of rejecting requests, often at the expense of our own well-being. But what if I told you that saying "no" could actually be one of the most empowering things you could do for yourself? Yes, you heard it right! Learning to say "no" is not just about being assertive, it's about respecting your own time, energy, and personal limits. It's the Power of Saying No!

I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
