“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl Rogers

Welcome to The In-Between

A reflective space between the outside world and the therapy room—perfect for transitions.

Soft Starts & Still Moments

  • Journal Prompt

    What part of myself am I learning to accept right now — even if it feels uncomfortable?

    What does that acceptance sound like?

    What might shift if I let go of resistance?

    If I stopped trying to “fix” myself and started listening instead, what might I hear?

    The Bridge Between Who You Are and Who You're Becoming

    Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a river — behind you is everything you've been, ahead is the next version of yourself. A bridge begins to form, but it's incomplete.

    If one part of that bridge was yours to build today, what would it look like?
    Would it be made of stone, rope, words, memory, hope?

    Draw or describe one piece of that bridge.

    What does it represent?

    What are you building toward?

    What do you need to keep going?

    You don’t have to cross all at once — you just have to keep building.

    Noticing the Space Between Acceptance and Change

    Begin by finding stillness.
    Place both feet on the ground — not to move, but to feel.
    Let your body settle.
    Let it be exactly as it is.

    Gently press your toes into the floor, then your heels.
    Notice: the ground holds you — without asking you to be any different.

    Now breathe.
    Let your breath move gently through you, like a quiet reminder:
    You are already enough to begin.

    Ask yourself:
    — Where in my body do I feel a sense of quiet permission — to be, to rest, to begin again?
    — What shifts when I stop waiting to be “ready” and start trusting this moment?

    Let that be your starting point. Nothing more is required.

Into the Pause

Simple, grounding, and inviting you to return to this moment, one breath at a time.

This short practice is here to help you gently settle your thoughts, connect to your body, and arrive more fully into the present. No pressure. No fixing. Just a breath… and then another.

Press play when you're ready to begin.
