Community check-in 💙 This week we are talking about emotional boundaries — and the two questions that begin to create the line between empathy and enmeshment. Watch the video then try this right now 👇 Think of the last time you left a conversation feeling worse than when you started. Then ask yourself honestly — Was that feeling yours going in — or did you pick it up from someone else? Share what came up. This is one of the most eye-opening questions I give clients. 💙 📞 Daniel Rubin, LMHC, LPC | 404-668-8369

It's about something I see come up constantly in this community — the "just push through it" mentality that most of us were handed growing up. That idea that real men handle things alone, stay tough, don't ask for help. And how that same story, the one that maybe protected us at some point, ends up being the thing that keeps us stuck in addiction, isolation, and patterns we can't seem to break no matter how hard we try. I wrote this from both sides — as a clinician who works with men in recovery every day, and as a man who has lived it himself. If you're in this group, this one's for you. Drop a comment below if it resonates. I'd love to hear where you're at with this. 👇 Read it here: www.transcendcounselingllc.com/mentalhealthblog/2026/6/9/breaking-the-just-push-through-it-myth-in-mens-recovery
