Welcome to The Learning Curve

Hi, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Ronelle, and I’m the owner of Jackson Therapy Consulting, LLC.

I’ve gone back and forth about starting a blog. Writing for a public audience has always felt a bit daunting. Yet my curiosity has a way of pulling me forward. It reminds me that many of us share the same impulse to understand ourselves and the world around us. 

Many of us wonder about the “whys” of life, the subtle layers of emotional experience and the ways our physical health influences our mental and relational wellbeing.

The Learning Curve is a space for that curiosity to unfold. It’s a place to explore mental health through the combined lens of psychological research and lived experience. It’s a space where knowledge meets reflection and transformation feels possible.

Why This Blog Exists

Many people come to therapy—or purchase books about therapy—because they want to understand themselves more deeply. They want to break unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional resilience and reconnect with parts of themselves that may feel lost or distant.

If you’re:

  • Considering starting therapy

  • Curious about mental health and wellbeing

  • Looking to develop emotional resilience

  • Wanting insight into relationships and patterns in daily life

Then this blog is for you.

Each post is designed to:

  • Inspire reflection and self-understanding

  • Encourage emotional growth and balance

  • Deepen understanding of the  patterns that influence how we think, feel, and connect

Topics You’ll Find Here

Topics are approached with both scientific understanding and lived perspective. The themes explored in this blog reflect my clinical work and the areas I feel most passionate about. I’ll share research, reflection, and practical insight on topics such as:

  • PTSD, trauma and emotional recovery

  • Hormonal health, PCOS, and their impact on mood and identity

  • The challenges of caregiving, compassion fatigue and boundaries

  • Anxiety, self-doubt and the pursuit of balance

  • LGBTQIA+ identity development, coming-out experiences and family relationships

  • Family dynamics and relational patterns

  • Women’s emotional health across different life stages

My hope is that The Learning Curve offers a moment to pause, reflect, breathe and to learn at your own pace and to engage in growth that feels intentional, manageable and real.

If there are topics you’re curious about, please feel free to email me or send a message. Your insights and curiosity help shape this space. I welcome the opportunity to explore the subjects that matter most to you.

Till next time! 

Ronelle
