sometimes you know you’re feeling something, but you just can’t quite put your finger on what it is. but boy, sometimes we get some vivid images or metaphors that just make sense to us!

maybe you know you’re overwhelmed, everything feels too loud, your chest feels tight, or you just feel “prickly”. but when someone asks, “what are you feeling?” your mind goes completely blank.

you don’t have to have the perfect words for therapy to be helpful. sometimes we can start with what you do know - what you’re noticing in your body, what you want to do, what feels different, or even what the feeling reminds you of - and figure out the rest together.

our therapist sarah uses a neuroaffirming approach and loves working with clients who may experience emotions a little differently or have a hard time putting them into words. you can read more about her on our website: www.alyssajessetherapy.com

sarah currently has openings for new clients 🤍 if you think this might be a good fit, reach out to us!

in our group, we are relational therapists! relational therapy is basically about paying attention to what happens between us - not just what happens in your life outside of therapy.

we notice when you feel misunderstood by us, when something we say lands differently than we intended, when you feel really connected to us, when you’re frustrated with us, or when you notice yourself wanting to pull away. those moments can give us a lot of information about how you experience relationships, connection, conflict, trust, boundaries, and repair.

but!!! a large part of our work is to be warm, genuine, funny, and human. we will laugh with you, show our personalities, or occasionally self-disclose. but when we do, there should always be a therapeutic reason for it - it should add something meaningful to your work, not meet our own emotional needs or turn therapy into a two-way sharing experience. aka - the relationship can be real without being reciprocal in the same way a friendship is. 🤍

it means creating a safe enough relationship to explore how you relate to other people - by paying attention to how you relate to us. and in this work, a true relationship forms out of the therapeutic space: we deeply care about you, too.

interested in relational work? reach out to us today to get connected with someone who gets it ❤️‍🩹

our brains are really good at finding evidence for what we already believe.

sometimes, a painful belief leads us to protect ourselves in ways that accidentally keep the belief alive.

“i’m too much” → i hide my needs → people don’t know what i need → “see, nobody cares”

the goal isn’t to blame ourselves for these patterns. the goal is to slow down, get curious, and create space for a different story. is there a narrative you could be curious about changing? 🤍

we often think exposure has to mean doing something big or scary, but real change can start much smaller!

these tiny moments of choosing discomfort over avoidance help teach your brain that you can handle uncertainty, mistakes, rejection, or being perceived. over time, that’s how anxiety loses its grip.

find one that resonates with you to try over the weekend! after all, life is just one big exposure.. right?? 😉

finding the right therapist is about more than just availability, it’s about finding someone who feels like the right fit for where you are in your journey.

we currently have openings with emma, sarah, and joe - each bringing their own unique style, specialties, and perspective to the therapy space.

✨ looking for someone who is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental while helping you explore deeper patterns, trauma, and healing? emma may be a great fit.

✨ looking for someone down-to-earth, insightful, and focused on understanding how your past experiences shape your relationships and sense of self? sarah may be a great fit.

✨ looking for support navigating life transitions, emotions, relationships, and building healthier coping skills? joe may be a great fit.

therapy is personal, and finding someone you connect with matters. if you’re ready to start, we’d love to help you find the right match. 🤍

sometimes what we call “coping” is really just finding better ways to not feel things (because feeling things is not always fun!)

you might notice:
• it gives you short-term relief, but nothing really changes
• you stay busy so you don’t have to sit with your thoughts
• you understand everything logically, but still feel stuck emotionally
• you avoid certain conversations, decisions, or feelings because they spike anxiety
• your “self-care” leaves you more numb than grounded
• you’re constantly managing distress instead of actually moving through it

this isn’t about judging your coping skills - most of them started as protection. they probably worked really well at some point!

but coping isn’t supposed to just help you get through the moment. it’s also supposed to help you move through what’s underneath it.

if any of this resonates, get curious about the ways you tend to cope with difficult emotions or situations. is there room to explore this further?

so many people with bpd ask, “why do i keep ending up in the same relationships or repeating the same patterns?”

it’s not usually a lack of insight. it’s that these patterns formed for a reason.

when there’s a deep fear of abandonment or love has felt unpredictable, the nervous system prioritizes survival over security. this can look like people-pleasing, ignoring red flags, hypervigilance to mood shifts, constant reassurance seeking, or staying in unhealthy dynamics because being alone feels worse.

these aren’t signs you’re “too much” or incapable of healthy relationships. they’re protective strategies your brain learned to keep you connected and safe.

the hard part is that those same strategies can reinforce the cycles you’re trying to escape—people-pleasing builds resentment, reassurance seeking fuels anxiety, and staying in instability can normalize chaos as love.

breaking the cycle isn’t about overnight change. it’s about understanding the function behind the behavior, building tolerance for vulnerability, and slowly learning that connection doesn’t have to feel like constant fear.

healing is less about changing who you are and more about teaching your nervous system that safety in relationships is possible.
