Step Out of the Should and Into the Moment
Written By: Rebekah Wilson, AMFT
Are you feeling weighed down by all the “shoulds” in your life—what you should have done, should be doing, or should feel? You’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an associate marriage and family therapist at Roubicek and Thacker. With advanced training in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help individuals understand the deeper reasons behind their choices and emotions so they can live more intentionally and with greater peace.
Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where I share insights and tools that support emotional clarity and growth. In today’s video, we’re continuing the conversation from my last blog, “Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself,” by focusing on what it means to truly step out of the should and into the moment. We’ll talk about tuning into your present experiences—your thoughts, sensations, and emotions—so you can better understand where your reactions come from and make conscious choices instead of judgment-fueled ones.
In previous videos, we’ve looked at how awareness and reframing can help reduce anxiety and promote a stronger sense of self. Today’s video builds on those themes by offering a grounded reminder: when you are truly present, you create space for self-awareness, self-compassion, and the freedom to choose your next step with clarity and intention.
