3 Journal Prompts for Trauma Healing
• Start with the Feelings Wheel — When you’re not sure what to write, scan the feelings wheel and choose any emotion that stands out. Let that be your starting point.
• Name Your Themes — If certain areas of life feel heavy (work, relationships, finances, etc.), write them as column headers and explore what’s coming up under each one.
• Let It Be a Data Dump — There’s no “right” way to begin. Free-write your thoughts, reactions, or sensations and let the entry unfold naturally.

Sharing some raw thoughts today on my own personal experience this past weekend. Taking the time to relax for yourself and your mental health, especially after a period of strain or stress can be so so hard!

🐾 A Gentle Goodbye 🐾

Some of you had the joy of meeting my beloved dog, Miley, whether she greeted you in person or made a surprise appearance on virtual calls. After 17 beautiful years, she has peacefully passed on.

She was more than a companion—she was a quiet presence of comfort, grounding, and unconditional love. I know her gentle spirit touched many of you, just as she touched me.

Grief reminds us of the depth of our connections. It is the price we pay for love, and though it hurts, it also speaks to the richness of the bond we shared.

Thank you for holding space with me in honoring her memory. 💜

In mental health, trauma refers to the emotional and psychological response to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from acute events, like accidents or assaults, to chronic situations such as abuse, neglect, or ongoing stress. Trauma can impact how people think, feel, and relate to themselves and others, often leading to symptoms like anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness. Healing from trauma involves creating safety, understanding its effects, and fostering connection and resilience.

It’s a new month, and we are shifting closer to the colder months, shorter days and longer nights. Change in seasons can be like all change in life, sometimes welcome and appreciated, and sometimes hard to balance.

If this seasonal shift feels harder than others know you are not alone in that. Take a deep breathe, and remember change comes and goes, and for better or worse everything is a phase - one that you can move through in strength.
