If you’re taking your child to therapy, you are

If you’re taking your child to therapy, you are winning. You heard me right. Winning. It probably doesn’t feel like it. It probably feels more like losing. It may feel like failure. Whatever events or factors that lead you to seek out therapy for your child are probably difficult and painful.⁣
⁣
I’ve seen people as young as preschool age all the way up to 80s. It’s never easy coming in. One thing I can say for sure is that therapy sooner than later is better. Much better. If you bring a child in when the issue starts, you catch it sooner before it grows. And mental health issues will typically grow, if untreated. Ignoring it usually feeds it.⁣
⁣
If you bring your child in, they get to learn positive and healthy ways of understanding, expressing, and coping with big feelings and even big problems. There’s an opportunity to learn it the healthy way the first time. If you catch the brain while it’s still developing, you’ll be able to impact his or her development, which sets the foundation of adulthood.⁣
⁣
My husband and I were children that needed to be in therapy. I was a very anxious child, a complete ball of anxiety. I had an alcoholic dad and lived in a codependent system. My husband watched his parents divorce and, then, lost his mother. As kids of the 80s/90s, many kids did not make it to therapy. But if we had, I’m sure healing would have happened much earlier.⁣
⁣
But, even if someone waits to seek therapy until the golden years, it’s not too late to heal. And if you’re a parent seeking therapy, you’re teaching your kids how to heal. A parent deciding to heal is a beautiful and powerful gift to one’s children.⁣
⁣
If you disclosed to family and friends about the choice of therapy, you may have gotten some disapproval or dismissive responses. But, hopefully, you found more care and support.⁣
⁣
And if this is the only support you find, you’re doing great! This is the best thing you can do for your child.⁣
⁣
You’re far from losing. You are totally winning. Winning so well that you don’t even know. So, go ahead, hold your head high, and take that kid to therapy. And teach that kid that it’s OK to be human.⁣

Yep.

HERE’S TO THE WOMEN.⁣
⁣
To the SAHM who never gets a break. The mama knee-deep in toys, chaos, and laundry. To the mama whose day is spent fielding questions from toddlers, ensuring hungry bellies are fed and tears are dried. The mama whose cup of coffee is empty, but whose heart has never been more full.⁣
⁣
To the working mama juggling her time between work and babies. To the mama whose heart is always in two places. Whether you work to pursue your own passions and have something of your own or you work to ease the financial burden at home, I see you.⁣
⁣
HERE’S TO THE WOMEN.⁣
⁣
To the single mama working two jobs trying to balance it all. To the mama who never rests, who is up all hours of the night being everything to everyone. To the mama who comes home exhausted, but still manages to give every remaining ounce of herself to her children.⁣
⁣
To the mama who has never carried a child of her own whether by choice or circumstance, but who mentors, encourages, and loves every child around her. To the mama who pours her heart into her community, dedicating countless hours, making an impact, and spreading joy wherever she goes.⁣
⁣
HERE’S TO THE WOMEN.⁣
⁣
To the mama anxiously filling out papers; dreaming and praying for the baby that will complete her heart and her family. Yes, it’s true, you may not share the same blood, but you know you share something far greater—love. You are theirs and they are yours.⁣
⁣
To the mama without her own mother. To the mama longing for one more conversation. One more phone call and “I love you.” One more chance to hear her mother’s voice.⁣
⁣
HERE’S TO THE WOMEN.⁣
⁣
Here’s to the women with fire in their souls. To the women building empires and raising babies. To the women advocating for their children with disabilities. To the women breaking down barriers and overcoming adversity. To the women who inspire and encourage.⁣
⁣
HERE’S TO ALL OF US.⁣
⁣
I see you and I applaud you. Every day, I am reminded of what each of us is capable of.⁣
⁣
You are FIERCE.⁣
You are POWERFUL.⁣
You are UNSTOPPABLE.⁣
⁣
Never doubt it. Never question it for one second.⁣
Because you are everything this world needs.⁣

When a rainbow baby graduates Pre-K, your heart wants to explode and crumble all at the same time.⁣
⁣
You remember the day you held a tiny face in your hands, but you also remember the day no heartbeat was found in your womb.⁣
⁣
You recall the nights that you rocked a tiny baby to sleep, but you also recall the sleepless nights wondering about how you could have done something different to save another baby.⁣
⁣
You think about their first steps and words, but you also think about the first steps you took out of a cold doctor’s office with a still ultrasound image.⁣
⁣
You wonder about who they’ll become one day, but you also wonder about who the other baby (or babies) would have grown to become.⁣
⁣
When your rainbow baby walks across a stage, you cry tears of joy because there’s proof that miracles still do happen.⁣
⁣
When your rainbow baby walks across a stage, you cry tears of sadness because that miracle came with heartache.⁣
⁣
When your baby graduates Pre-K, you celebrate the day because you remember that after a storm there’s always a rainbow.⁣
