A lot of anxiety lives in the overlap between what we're worried about and what we actually have control over. Spoiler: it's usually a much smaller overlap than it feels like in the moment.

In your control: how you respond, the boundaries you set, how you spend your energy, whether you reach out for support.

Out of your control: other people's choices, their reactions, their timelines, the outcome, most of the future.

This isn't about pretending you don't care. It's about noticing where you're spending energy trying to control things that were never yours to control in the first place, and redirecting that energy toward what actually is.

Try it yourself: draw the circle. Sort your worry list, and see what's actually left.

A little birdy told us you've been "fine" for a suspiciously long time.

Not "having a rough day" fine. Not "needed a minute" fine. The kind of fine that's been going on so long it started to feel like a personality trait instead of a warning sign.

We get it. "Fine" is efficient. It ends the conversation before anyone has to ask a follow-up question.

But you're allowed to not be fine. You're allowed to say the actual sentence instead of the shorter one.

Just a friendly reminder from us (and our little birdy).

They didn't start out as the people who'd one day sit across from you in a therapy room. They started out as kids who paid close attention, who asked good questions, who somehow always ended up being the one their friends called first.

Some things don't change. They just get a license.

(And one of them just gets belly rubs. We don't make the rules.)

This is our team, then and now. Grateful every day that this is who shows up for our clients.

Meet Weezie. No appointment, no agenda, no performance.

Just pure, unguarded joy at being somewhere she feels safe.

Honestly, we want that for our clients too.

Not perfection. Not having the right words. Just walking through the door as you are, and being met with warmth on the other side.

Turns out that's not too much to ask for.

This week's question: what do you do with a client who struggles with people-pleasing?

Sarah's answer: It's hard to change a habit like that, as always. But the people who love you deserve to actually know you.

People-pleasing feels like keeping the peace, but it often means editing yourself before anyone else gets the chance to react. The hard part isn't just saying no, it's trusting that you're still worth staying for when you do. The people who love you aren't loving the version of you that never disagrees. They're loving you.

Got a question you've always wanted to ask a therapist? Drop it below or send us a DM, we might feature it in an upcoming Reel. Ask us anything (we mean it) 💙

The real horror isn't the monster under the bed, it's avoiding a hard conversation until it becomes a bigger one. Happy spooktober 🎃

It's OCD Awareness Week, and one of the most common misconceptions we hear is that OCD means being clean or organized. In reality, it often shows up as intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to sit with, and compulsions that feel impossible to resist, even when the person knows the thoughts aren't true or the rituals aren't logical.

A few myths worth retiring:

"OCD means you're just really clean." In reality, it's often about intrusive thoughts, not tidiness.

"OCD means you like things organized." In reality, compulsions are about relieving distress, not preference.

"Everyone's a little OCD." In reality, it's a diagnosable condition that can be debilitating.

"OCD is just anxiety." In reality, it has its own distinct patterns, and its own kind of support.

OCD is often minimized, joked about, or misunderstood, and that makes it harder for people to get the support they actually need. If any of this resonated, know that support is available, and you don't have to live at war with your own mind.

Land acknowledgments can start to feel like a formality... a sentence people scroll past. We don't want that for ours.

So today, instead of a single line, we're using the space to actually sit with it. Because acknowledging stolen land isn't just about naming whose land it is. It's about reckoning with a worldview that got erased in the process, one that saw land as a relationship, not a resource.

That erasure isn't ancient history. The Gabrielino-Tongva Nation is still here, still without federal recognition, still doing the work of being seen in a city built on top of their story.

We don't think a post fixes that. But we do think silence maintains it, and we'd rather be a practice that keeps choosing to name what's true, even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's not required of us.

Our full commitment (and the ongoing work behind it) can be found on our website.

Things people think are normal but are actually signs of relational trauma ⤵️

Over-apologizing: saying sorry for taking up space, having a reaction, or simply existing where someone else might be inconvenienced.

Difficulty receiving compliments: deflecting, downplaying, or explaining away praise instead of just letting it land.

Feeling guilty for resting: needing to "earn" rest through productivity, and feeling anxious or lazy when you stop.

Fawning in conflict: agreeing, appeasing, or over-accommodating in tense moments instead of saying what you actually think or feel.

None of these are personality traits. They're adaptations, mechanisms that made sense at some point in some relationship or environment to keep you safe or keep the peace. The problem is they don't turn off once they're no longer needed.

Relational trauma isn't always a single big event. Sometimes it's a pattern that got wired in slowly, over years, in relationships that were supposed to feel safe.

If any of this sounded familiar, that's not a diagnosis, it's just an invitation to get curious. We work with relational trauma every day, and there's language and support for this that goes beyond "just set boundaries." Link in bio to learn more 💙

Somewhere along the way, a lot of guys learned that "fine" was the only acceptable answer.

Not angry.
Not overwhelmed.
Not lonely.
Just fine.

Guys Night: A Hangout for Men is a space to drop that answer and try a truer one.

This isn't a circle where you're forced to share. It isn't a lecture on masculinity. It's guys talking honestly about work, relationships, pressure, and the stuff that's harder to say out loud, led by a therapist who gets it because he's one of you.

Masc-identifying, q***r, trans, and nonbinary folks welcome. There's no version of "man enough" you need to meet to belong here.

You don't need a crisis to show up.
You just need to be tired of pretending you're fine.

Guys Night meets every other Friday in Highland Park. There is still limited space available.

If this resonates, trust that.
Learn more and reserve your spot at the link in our bio.
