Staying Flexible While Staying Connected

There’s a subtle, but powerful shift that happens in therapy rooms when people realize:

“I don’t have to do all the work alone — but I do have to do my part differently.”

As a therapist, I often witness this in family or couples work. There’s a moment when someone softens — not because they’ve been convinced or coerced — but because their body stops bracing. A breath releases. The shoulders drop. The eyes come forward again.
