There is truly nothing like an ice-cold coffee on a summer day. You’re sweaty from running errands, your emotional support sunglasses are on, and suddenly an iced vanilla latte feels less like a beverage and more like self-care. A little treat. A tiny spark of joy. A reason to continue answering emails. And friend, I get it!

After a bad experience in therapy, deciding to try again matters. It takes openness and resilience to come back to something that didn’t feel good the first time. While therapy can be a powerful and safe place for many, some people have bad experiences and often decide that means therapy isn’t for them. When you’ve been promised an opportunity to heal and instead been met with harm, that reaction makes sense.

What often sits just beneath that critical voice is something deeper: anxiety. The pressure to get everything “right.” The fear of falling short. The sense that if you’re not perfect, something will go wrong. Let’s take the next step together—learning how to loosen that pressure and begin moving forward, even when things feel uncertain.

Also known as compulsive sexual behavior, hypersexuality isn't just about having a high sex drive—it’s about feeling like your sexual thoughts or behaviors are running the show, even when you wish they wouldn’t.
