โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that sometimes I still have days where self-doubt creeps in. Healing isn’t a straight line โ for any of us.

โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that I used to feel guilty setting boundaries. Growth often starts with discomfort.

โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that I once confused familiarity with emotional safety. Healing taught me the difference.

โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that I thought healing meant becoming someone ‘better.’ It actually meant accepting the person I already was.

โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that some days, even the basics (like resting without guilt) are a practice, not a perfect.

โ As a therapist, I’m not ashamed to admit that healing isnโt about never struggling โ it’s about coming back to myself faster each time.
