What if it’s still affecting you?
Why reactions are often about more than the moment itself Many women assume that if something isn’t actively bothering them anymore… they must be fine. But that’s not always how it works. I often tell clients it’s like a water bottle slowly filling. A hard conversation.Disappointment.Pressure.Holding back what you really feel. Even if you move […]
