Soul & Soil
There's a quiet kind of pain that comes from constantly showing up for others while leaving yourself behind. You might smile, stay agreeable, keep the peace--while deep down, something feels off. Over time, this pattern of self-abandonment can feel like you've gone missing inside your own life.
Often rooted in early experiences, codependency shows up as people-pleasing, over-functioning, difficulty experiencing our own emotions, taking ownership of other's thoughts, feelings, and opinions, difficulty knowing our own reality, self-esteem issues, and often over-functioning and performance-driven behavior.
Through trauma-informed therapy, we gently untangle these patterns with compassion and curiosity. Together, we make space for your voice, your needs, your story. We work toward healing the part of you that learned love had to be earned or that conflict meant danger.
Healing from self-abandonment isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you were before the world taught you to shrink. It's about listening to the whisper beneath the noise---the part of you that knows what you need, what you feel, and what you long for. When you begin to honor that voice, even in small ways, you begin to come home to yourself. And from that place, real connection--with others, with God, and with your purpose--can finally take root and flourish.
If you're in the Shreveport area (71101) or elsewhere in Louisiana and longing to reconnect with yourself, therapy can offer a way back. Not to a perfect version of you--but to a more honest, grounded, and whole one.
The middle of the year invites a kind of quiet clarity. We’ve made it through the rush of January intentions,
the shifting pace of spring, and now we stand here—
somewhere between who we were in those early months and who we’re still becoming.
In the rush of doing, we often forget to look back and recognize what we’ve already survived, built,
or healed. So, before you make another list or set another goal, take a breath and ask:
What am I proud of from the past six months?
What meaningful steps have I taken, even if they felt small?
Where did I show up more fully, more honestly, more bravely?
Gratitude grounds us. It’s not about pretending everything has been easy—it’s about acknowledging progress even in imperfect conditions.
Maybe you kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit.
Maybe you said no when your past self would’ve said yes.
Maybe you finally allowed yourself to rest.
Let that count.
This is also a chance to gently realign. If something isn’t working, you can shift.
If you’ve grown out of a goal, you can release it. If you’re craving more joy, more calm, more connection—
there’s still time to make space for that.
Healing isn’t just about what we fix. It’s about what we notice, what we nurture,
and what we choose to carry forward.
So, here’s your reminder:
You are allowed to celebrate. You are allowed to recalibrate.
And you are absolutely allowed to be proud of how far you’ve come
ready to get started?
