don’t have coffee before therapy

should we do my IFS session
before or after
my morning coffee?

*you ask me with a cheeky grin*

---

This is an IFS truth bomb
that will hit every woman
who’s ever stuffed her feelings
back into a bra
and gone to a team meeting.

If you’d rather sip your coffee than sit on your meditation cushion—
(even if it means you’re buzzing with anxiety all day)

If you’d rather check a box than be with that tender ache in your heart—
(even if it means that ache never really leaves)

If you’d rather risk burnout than slow down and take up space—
(even if it means your precious life keeps shrinking away)

this is for you.

we’re going to talk about
caffeine before healing sessions
and we’re going to talk about
how much time you take off
after sessions to recover.

how long do you wait
for your tears to dry
before you get back to work?

You don’t have to be emotionally available, Self-aware, and back in your inbox by 10am.

Let your body know: it’s allowed to be undone today.

Rushing your healing doesn’t speed it up. It shuts it down.

And rushing through your life?
That’s not productivity.

That’s avoidance dressed up in a cute little calendar.

What if therapy days were spa days?

Luxuriate in the depths.
Let it be slow and sacred.

ironically, i recorded this audio memo while speed walking on the treadmill.

listen to my fast feet delivering this slow message

inspired by a woman who’s starting private IFS sessions with me — learning to slow down and love her whole body….without caffeine.
