The Power of It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

Are you feeling like you have to hold everything together, even when life feels overwhelming? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an associate marriage and family therapist at Roubicek and Thacker. With my extensive training in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I believe in the healing power of acknowledging our emotions and embracing the truth that sometimes, it’s okay not to be okay.

Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where we explore the challenges we face in life and how to approach them with self-compassion. Today, we’re diving into the power of accepting our struggles and giving ourselves permission to not have all the answers. This video is about normalizing the ups and downs of life, showing that vulnerability can be a strength, not a weakness, and learning how to sit with discomfort as part of growth.

In previous videos, we’ve talked about self-worth and the role of emotional connections in our well-being. Building on that foundation, this discussion invites you to release the pressure of perfection and explore how embracing your feelings—good or bad—can lead to deeper self-awareness and a more authentic, fulfilling life.
