🎯 Setting Goals in Therapy That Actually Work

🧠 Therapy & Personal Growth

Focus on What You Can Control

Therapy goals work best when they're about your actions, not others'. “I want to understand my triggers” is more effective than “I want my partner to change.”

Start Small and Specific

Vague goals like “be happier” are hard to track. Try: “Identify one coping strategy for anxiety” or “Practice setting a boundary once this week.”

Let Your Goals Evolve

As you grow, your goals may shift. That’s not failure-it’s progress. Check in with your therapist to realign when needed.

  • 🧊 Why Emotional Numbness Isn’t “Laziness”

    🌿 Emotional Wellbeing & Self-Care

    A Protective Response, Not a Flaw

    Emotional numbness is often misunderstood as laziness or apathy, but it's actually a self-protective response. When your nervous system is overwhelmed by trauma, prolonged stress, or emotional overload, it may shut down certain feelings to keep you safe.

    Understanding Disconnection

    If you're feeling indifferent, unmotivated, or emotionally “flat,” this isn't a personal failure-it's a sign that your system is doing its best to cope. Numbness can be a signal that you've been carrying too much for too long without enough time or support to recover.

    Pathways to Reconnection

    Therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to gently explore what lies beneath the numbness. Together, you can begin to understand its roots and slowly reconnect with your emotional world in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
