Grief doesn’t always arrive through absence. Sometimes it appears in continuity, in routines, memories, and ordinary moments that remain unchanged. A therapist reflects on how grief shows up quietly at the start of a new year, and why feeling weighted doesn’t mean something is wrong.

As the year ends, reflection is often encouraged. But what happens when we overthink our lives instead of living them? I reflect on year-end introspection, creativity, grief, and why stepping away can sometimes bring the clearest insight.

Before the mind explains, the body already knows. This reflection explores “felt sense” and why healing often begins with sensing, not thinking.

Grief doesn't need a tidy resolution. Some days it swallows you; other days it just watches from the corner. This is a note to remind you that both are okay, and you are not broken.

I used to draw houses with trapdoors and defenses, a child's blueprint for coping. Now, I see how those same patterns show up in adult relationships. Healing is about learning to open the gate.
