FULFILLMENT THERAPY - Marriage & Family Therapy, Self Mastery, Self Actualization, Unmet Needs, LDS Parent, Family Connection
Hey, Parents! Welcome to Fulfillment Therapy, your space for healing and personal growth, where you can nurture yourselves to enrich your family life. We know the drill - you’re constantly on the hunt for ways to be the best parent and spouse, but it often feels like there’s barely a moment to catch your breath. Balancing your duties, connecting with your kids, and tackling stress can leave you feeling completely exhausted. Mornings start with the best of intentions, but somehow, they often unravel into a whirlwind of arguments with everyone heading in different directions by the day’s end. It’s a stressful cycle, and it’s clear that something is missing. I’m Kendra, a mother and therapist who’s been there before. I’ve learned that to be the best parent you can be, you must prioritize self-care. When you stop ignoring and neglecting your own needs and well-being, you’ll find that you have more energy and less resentment to offer your family. In our relentless pursuit of being super parents, we often forget about the importance of self development and maintaining good mental health, which can lead to anxiety and depression. Balancing the responsibilities of family life while nurturing your personal growth can be difficult. However, it’s essential to become the best version of yourself to be the best parent and spouse. Fulfillment Therapy is about more than just refining your parenting skills; it’s about unlocking your full potential. It’s about rediscovering your values and faith, and creating a safe haven for both you and your family to flourish. In this podcast, we’ll learn tips on reducing stress, overwhelm, and depression, while showing you how to take better care of yourself without neglecting your family and core values. You’ll discover how to advocate for yourself--without shame--and how to nurture your individual worth in sustainable, healthy ways. By replenishing your own cup and meeting your own unmet needs, you can provide more for your family and, most importantly, yourself. We’ll work toward a life where peace, confidence, and a reduced guilt become the norm. You’ll soon discover that your dream of a balanced, joyful life will become your daily reality. It’s time to model healthy self-care, and tap into your unique gifts and talents to make family life more fulfilling than you ever imagined possible. https://fulfillmenttherapy.org Connect → fulfillment.therapist@gmail.com Facebook → http://bit.ly/fulfillmenttherapy Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/fulfillmenttherapy/

"ACT is like a roadmap to a more fulfilled life. It's about learning to dance with your emotions, rather than fighting against them." -Dr. Maya Patel
"Acceptance is like opening the door to self-compassion. When we accept our struggles, we pave the way for healing." -Dr. Mark Thompson
"Adaptation is the bridge between acceptance and achievement. It's where we find the strength to rewrite our narratives." -Dr. Lisa Chen
"Achievement is the outcome of commitment. It's about turning aspirations into actions, even in the face of challenges." -Dr. James Carter
“Repentance also requires change, which, at times, can be uncomfortable. But joy and comfort are not the same thing. Sin—including the sin of complacency—limits our joy.” -Craig C. Christensen
“When we choose to repent, we choose to change! We allow the Savior to transform us into the best version of ourselves. We choose to grow spiritually and receive joy—the joy of redemption in Him. When we choose to repent, we choose to become more like Jesus Christ!” -Russell M. Nelson
Leaves on a Stream Exercise:
During the leaves on a stream exercise, you will visualize yourself resting near a stream. Whenever
thoughts enter your mind, you will imagine placing them atop a leaf, and watching as they float away.
Instead of seeing the world from “inside” your thoughts, you will take a step back and view them from
afar. By doing so, you will gain perspective on your thoughts and feelings, reducing their power.
Approach all your thoughts and emotions with equal acceptance, regardless of whether they are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. The objective is to cultivate awareness of your inner experiences, without the intention of improving them or changing them.
With consistent dedication, the "leaves on a stream" exercise will progressively become more effortless and beneficial.

"Excessive fructose consumption can disrupt insulin sensitivity, paving the way for insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes. It's like a key that doesn't fit the lock anymore, leading to a cascade of metabolic issues." - Dr. Robert Lustig
"Fructose, unlike other sugars, doesn't trigger the same satiety signals in the brain. This leaves us feeling unsatisfied and more prone to continuous snacking, contributing to the cycle of weight gain and obesity." - Dr. Mark Thompson, Nutritionist
"High fructose intake can trigger inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, both of which are key players in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It's like throwing fuel on the fire of cognitive decline." - Dr. Maria Johnson, Neuroscientist
According to experts, including the American Heart Association, women should consume no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugars per day, while men should limit their intake to 9 teaspoons (38 grams). Sadly, the reality is quite different. On average, Americans consume around 17 teaspoons of added sugars every day, which is more than double the recommended limit. Harvard says that 4.2, or 4 if rounded, grams of sugar equals one teaspoon of sugar.

"When we laugh, our brain releases endorphins, the 'feel-good' hormones, which can alleviate stress, improve mood, and even temporarily relieve pain."-Dr. Emily Williams
"Humor therapy leverages the psychological and physiological benefits of laughter. It reduces the production of stress hormones like cortisol and increases the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with well-being." -Dr. Sarah Martinez
"It's not about being a comedian; it's about finding joy in the little things and learning to laugh at life's absurdities." -Dr. Michael Adams
"Laughter is a universal language that transcends barriers. It brings people together, fostering connections and promoting a sense of belonging, which are vital for maintaining good mental health." -Dr. Jessica Ramirez, Clinical Psychologist
"Neurologically, humor engages multiple regions of the brain, stimulating creativity and problem-solving abilities. It's like a mental workout that not only entertains but also enhances cognitive function." -Dr. David Collins, Neuroscientist
"Integrating humor into challenging situations can reframe perspectives and empower individuals to cope effectively. The ability to find lightness in the darkest moments is a testament to the human spirit's resilience." -Dr. Lisa Thompson, Positive Psychologist
"Humor therapy isn't about denying pain or discomfort; it's about embracing them with a lighter outlook. Laughter serves as a bridge between adversity and resilience, allowing us to navigate life's ups and downs with grace." -Dr. Jonathan Lee, Behavioral Scientist

Costa Rican Retreat Details
"Attachment science teaches us that beneath our actions and words, we all have a basic human longing: to be loved and understood. Recognizing and addressing this longing is transformative." -Dr. Sue Johnson
"Insecure connections from the past don't have to dictate our present and future relationships. We can rewrite our emotional scripts and develop the skills to create loving, secure bonds."-Sue Johnson
Dr. Dan Siegel: "Our past experiences become templates for our future relationships. But awareness can free us from repeating old patterns."
Dr. Sue Johnson: "In love, we need a secure bond that lets us know we matter, we're valued, and we're not alone."
Dr. Edward Tronick: "The power of healing lies in 'rupture and repair.' Learning to repair the inevitable disconnections in relationships builds resilience and deepens emotional bonds."
Dr. Marion Solomon: "Attachment healing isn't about erasing past wounds; it's about integrating them into our story with compassion. This integration fuels our ability to foster secure connections."
Dr. Diane Poole Heller: "Healing attachment trauma means befriending our own nervous system. Self-regulation and understanding our triggers empower us to co-create secure relationships."
Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style feel comfortable exploring their environment, as they trust that their caregiver will be available and responsive when needed. They tend to develop healthy relationships, feeling secure and valued in them.
Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment: People with this style often worry about the consistency of their caregiver's attention and affection. They may become overly dependent and seek constant reassurance in relationships, fearing abandonment.
Avoidant-Dismissive Attachment: Individuals with this style tend to downplay the importance of close relationships and prioritize independence. They may avoid emotional intimacy and find it difficult to express their feelings or needs to others.
Fearful-Avoidant (Disorganized) Attachment: This style combines aspects of both anxious and avoidant attachment. Individuals may desire close relationships but also fear getting hurt. They might experience internal conflicts when seeking intimacy, resulting in unpredictable behaviors.
