POSTS STORIES REELS

The way we love, the way we attach, and the way we fear being abandoned often begin long before our first relationship.

Sometimes, the child who learned to be quiet, easy, helpful, or perfect just to receive love grows into the adult who overexplains, people-pleases, struggles to set boundaries, or feels they have to earn their place in someone’s life.

These are often attachment wounds formed in the relationships that were supposed to teach us that love is safe, consistent, and unconditional.

Healing begins when we recognize that the patterns that once helped us survive may no longer serve us. We can learn to stop chasing reassurance, tolerate the discomfort of healthy boundaries, and build relationships where we don’t have to abandon ourselves to feel chosen. by @twobostontherapists

The ADHD hobby cycle: obsession, research, buying all the supplies… and then suddenly, we’re onto the next thing. 😂

🧠The ADHD brain can be especially drawn to novelty, stimulation, and the excitement of something new. When that excitement fades, staying engaged can become harder.

But plot twist!!!! You don’t have to have ADHD to love novelty or lose interest in hobbies! That’s a human thing, too. With ADHD, it’s about a broader pattern of symptoms that can affect daily life, not just a collection of abandoned hobbies.

✨ The goal isn’t to stop loving new things. It’s to find ways to work with your brain. by @twobostontherapists

Your trauma was never your fault. But healing is not about blaming yourself for the wounds you carry; it’s about learning how to care for them so they no longer control how you live, love, and show up in the world.

Healing isn’t a punishment or a deadline. It’s a journey back to yourself. by @twobostontherapists

🎶 All jokes aside, sometimes the right song reaches places words can’t. In ketamine-assisted therapy, music can help create an emotional landscape for reflection, connection, and healing during your medicine session! The playlist isn’t just background noise; it can be part of the therapeutic experience. by @twobostontherapists

KAP preparation sessions are SOOO important!! These sessions focus on helping you feel informed and supported before your dosing session. Preparation sessions usually include intention setting, preference for your dosing day, exploring hope AND the jitters, and reviewing regulation skills for emotionally challenging moments that may arise during your ✨journey✨ by @twobostontherapists

Unfortunately, the brain doesn’t come with an unsubscribe button… BUT there may be other options. 👀

If anxiety, depression, or persistent negative thought patterns are taking up too much space in your head, ketamine therapy may be an option worth exploring. Let’s talk! by @twobostontherapists

Chronic stress and trauma can do more than leave us feeling overwhelmed, they can affect how our brains connect, adapt, and respond to the world around us!

The good news? Our lovely brains have an incredible capacity for change.

Ketamine-assisted therapy may support neuroplasticity, helping create opportunities for new neural connections and new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. When paired with thoughtful integration and therapeutic support, these changes may become a starting point for meaningful, lasting growth. by @twobostontherapists

Glimmers are really just the opposite of triggers. They gently teach our nervous system that not every moment requires us to be on guard. Over time, by noticing and savoring these moments, we can train our brain to soften its hypervigilance, release the constant anticipation of danger, and recognize that it’s okay to relax, breathe, and simply BE. by @twobostontherapists

Healing is learning to pour into YOURSELF, release what no longer serves you, and give yourself the love you once searched for in others. And then, somewhere along the way, you become a reminder to others that peace is possible, growth is real, and that healing takes time.

May we all become softer with ourselves, wiser through our experiences, and more compassionate toward others. by @twobostontherapists

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can create opportunities for meaningful self-exploration, and experiencing it in a group setting may offer unique benefits. 🙏
Note: These are potential benefits, not guaranteed outcomes. Group KAP should be facilitated by appropriately qualified professionals, with attention to screening, consent, confidentiality, and individual support. by @twobostontherapists
