The Pros and Cons in the Big Picture
Are you finding that life doesn’t always go according to plan—and wondering how to stay grounded when it doesn’t? You’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an associate marriage and family therapist at Roubicek and Thacker. With my background in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and certification as a Brain Health Professional, I believe that emotional flexibility and presence are essential skills for navigating life’s unpredictable moments.
Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where I share thoughts and tools from both my personal experiences and my work as a therapist. In this video, I’m reflecting on a recent trip that, like much of life, didn’t go exactly as planned. But through that experience, I was reminded of an important truth: emotions like sadness and disappointment don’t need to be judged or fixed—they just need to be felt.
We’ll explore how to acknowledge emotions without overanalyzing them, shift from “why is this happening?” to “what now?”, and gently expand your capacity to adapt and grow in the face of change. Whether you're dealing with a canceled plan or something much bigger, this video invites you to honor your experience, stay present, and trust that you are strong enough to keep moving forward.
