A breakup can leave you feeling drained;  in the blink of an eye, you become emotionally, mentally, and even physically exhausted. In the midst of heartbreak, it’s easy to focus on what you’ve lost, but this is also a powerful opportunity to turn inward and rebuild. Healing isn’t just about moving on; it’s about pouring […]

I remember going through a major life transition and feeling like my world was turned upside down. Even though I felt in my heart that the changes that were happening were for the best, and that I would most likely  grow and evolve into an even better version of myself, I still felt lost. I […]

It’s time to pack our lunches, load our overpriced school supplies into an overstuffed backpack, and dive into another year of education.

What does it feel like to have a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) session? For many, the experience is both deeply grounding and profoundly transformative.  Unlike a recreational psychedelic experience (or even a ketamine infusion clinic), KAP places the therapeutic relationship at the center, combining the neurobiological effects of ketamine with the guidance of a skilled therapist.

When we’re beset by problems as uncontrollable and immutable as the weather and the ceaseless march […]

Humans need love the same way we need warmth, food, water, and shelter. When we’re young, sometimes we can get by relying on others for our needs. We might rely on our parents for food and shelter, we may lean on our partners for love and affection, but ultimately it’s not reasonable (or possible) to […]

Thinking about quitting therapy can bring up a lot of mixed emotions, especially if you’ve already invested time, energy, and hope into the process. But when you’ve put in all that effort, sometimes there has been little or no reward and the prospect of quitting can start to look pretty appetizing.  But before you quit, […]

Reparenting yourself can be challenging work. After all, if parenting were easy, it probably would have been done 100% right the first time. As it stands, our upbringings are imperfect at best and traumatizing at worst. So for the untold many who have suffered either imperfect or traumatizing childhoods, there lies the great work of […]

AI is an increasingly prominent factor in all of our lives. It’s changing the ways that we read, write, research, and interact with the world around us.
