Why Reflecting on 2025 Matters More Than Planning 2026
Before you rush into goal-setting for 2026, pause. What if the key to moving forward isn't another vision board, but honest reflection on what you've already experienced?
This post explores why reflection matters more than planning and how skipping this crucial step keeps us stuck in the same cycles. Unprocessed emotions don't disappear; they settle into our nervous system and resurface as triggers. The patterns we don't examine become the patterns we repeat.
Learn how intentional reflection helps you see what's really holding you back, process emotions you've been carrying, and build goals rooted in self-awareness instead of aspiration. Discover the role therapy plays in supporting this work and get practical questions to guide your end-of-year reflection.
Because the truth is: planning 2026 can wait. Healing from 2025 can't.

A cycle of self-doubt and negative self-talk that felt impossible to break.
