Feeling productive but mentally foggy? You might be experiencing functional freeze — a state where you appear to function well on the outside but feel numb or detached inside. In this blog, we explore how to recognize the signs and share three evidence-based methods to reconnect with yourself, move through emotional fog, and begin to feel grounded again.

OCD and anxiety can look similar, but they’re not the same. While both involve worry and stress, OCD is driven by unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors aimed at easing anxiety.

Sex worker affirming therapy creates a safe, non-judgmental space where sex workers are respected as the experts of their own lives.

Being authentic means living in alignment with your true values instead of conforming to external expectations.

Boundaries. They’re not about distance—they’re about respect, clarity, and keeping your home a space where you both feel safe and comfortable.

Coming out is not just a moment, in fact it is a deeply personal journey.
