She Rises Counselling
She Rises Counselling provides a welcoming and affirming space for all backgrounds, cultures, identities, faiths & life experiences.
We are taught to be incredibly selective about romantic relationships but friendships?
Sometimes we're expected to keep them simply because we've known someone for years.
Longevity doesn't always equal compatibility and choosing your circle intentionally isn't selfish. Friendships have an impact on our wellbeing too.
One of the uncomfortable parts of adulthood is realising that growth can change your friendships.
You start saying no, you stop over-explaining, you become more confident, you stop being available for dynamics that once felt normal and suddenly, a friendship that once felt easy feels different.
It doesn't always mean either person is bad, but sometimes you've simply grown in different directions and sometimes growth reveals a dynamic you couldn't see before. 🤷🏾♀️

I've seen so many people struggle with friendship issues, but we don't talk about friendship heartbreak enough.
The changing dynamics, feeling left out, realising a friendship has become competitive, outgrowing someone you still care about, struggling to set boundaries or grieving a friendship that has ended.
These experiences can hurt just as deeply as romantic relationship issues and I want you to know that you can come to therapy for this too.
You don't need to be in crisis. You don't need to have all the answers. Therapy can be a space to unpack what's happening, understand your patterns and work out what you want from your relationships moving forward.
Your friendships matter too 💕
No caption needed...I'm gaaged!!!! 🤭
Sometimes the loudest support comes from people you’ve never met, while the people you know are watching like… 👀
Here is your reminder to keep showing up anyway. Your people will find you. ❤️
And, shoutout to the strangers supporting strangers. You’re the real MVPs 😂👊

No shade... I was genuinely looking forward to seeing you... but the relief when that cancellation text comes through? Unmatched 😂
Sometimes staying home, getting comfortable and having absolutely nowhere to be just hits different.
Anyone else secretly delighted when plans get cancelled? 👀

Boundaries will change some relationships, not because you’ve become difficult, but because you’re no longer as available for the patterns that required you to overgive, overexplain, or abandon your own needs.
Some people may be disappointed by the healthier version of you and that's okay, you’re still allowed to become her. 💕
POV: the friendship ends and instead of being heartbroken you’re just like… “AHHHH, so I WASN’T imagining that weird sh*t.” 😭😂
Sometimes the red flags are subtle. Sometimes your intuition picks up on things before you have the evidence to explain them. Trust yourself. Pay attention to what feels off. 🚩
Being on holiday just does something to me 🥰
Boundaries don’t always need a long explanation.
You don’t have to over-explain, justify or soften every boundary to make it acceptable to someone else.
Save this for the next time you’re struggling to find the words. 😉
