A lot of people assume DBT is only for extreme situations or “big” emotions.

But that’s not what it’s really about.

DBT gives you practical skills to:
• handle stress
• communicate better
• regulate emotions
• feel more steady day-to-day

It’s not about fixing you.
It’s about supporting you.

And it’s a lot more approachable than most people think.

Hyejin joined us back in November, and I finally had a chance to get a full acupuncture treatment from her.

I’ve been practicing acupuncture for over 20 years, and I’ve had a lot of treatments myself - so I pay attention when I’m on the table.

Her diagnosis was spot-on, and the treatment reflected that.

One thing I always come back to is how acupuncture looks at patterns, not just symptoms. It’s a more complete way of understanding what’s going on in the body.

Always good to be reminded what it feels like on the other side.

We’re taught to look for big breakthroughs.

The moment everything clicks.

The big shift. The turning point.

But most of the time… it doesn’t happen like that.

It’s quieter.

Less tension in the morning.
Recovering a little faster.
Catching things before they spiral.

Not fixed. Just… steadier.

And honestly, that’s the kind of progress that sticks.

A lot of people think massage is something that’s done to you.

But sometimes the best results happen when you’re involved in the treatment.

Here, Robyn is having her patient gently lift and relax her traps while she applies pressure to a tight spot.

That shortening and lengthening under pressure helps the tissue release more effectively and lets her work deeper without forcing it.

It’s a simple shift, but it can make a big difference in how your body responds.

He came in with a few different things going on - back, knee, neck, a bit of everything.

And this is where a lot of people get stuck.
They think everything needs to be fixed at once.

But it usually doesn’t work like that.

A good first step is figuring out what’s driving the most strain right now, and starting there.

From there, everything else tends to fall into place a little easier.

A lot of people picture therapy as something intense or uncomfortable.

Lying on a couch. Talking about everything all at once.

But most sessions don’t look like that. With Sarah, it’s a conversation.

Paced, collaborative, and built around what feels manageable for you.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come in.

After my shoulder assessment, Yang showed me one way we can start rebuilding strength with a bent over row.

This isn’t the right exercise for every shoulder issue - but when it fits, how you do it matters.

We focus on:
• A stable stance through the legs
• Leading with the elbow
• Letting the shoulder blade move toward the spine

Done properly, this helps support the shoulder instead of overloading it.

The right exercise, done the right way, at the right time.

Most people think treatment starts right away.

But the first step is understanding how your body is actually moving.

In this case, we looked at posture, range of motion, and balance - and it helped us spot where things were working harder than they should.

That’s what guides the treatment.

Not guesswork. Not just where it hurts.

If something’s been bothering you, there’s usually a reason behind it - and it often shows up in how you move.

03/23/2026

A lot of people hesitate to start therapy because they feel like they need to come in with everything figured out.

The right words. A clear story. A plan.

But that’s not how it works.

Some of the most meaningful sessions start with “I don’t really know how to explain this…”
And that’s more than enough.

Therapy isn’t about performing or getting it right. It’s about having a space where things can unfold naturally, at your pace.

If you’ve been unsure about starting, this might be your sign that you don’t need to be ready. You just need to be willing to begin.

A lot of people think tight muscles are the problem.

But more often, those muscles are just doing extra work to compensate for a joint that isn’t moving well.

That’s where approaches like CARs (controlled articular rotations) come in - not as a replacement for treatment, but as something that helps it actually last.

When joints move better, the body doesn’t keep falling back into the same patterns… and that’s when massage starts to feel more effective over time.

That’s the kind of thinking we value at Yellow Gazebo - not just short-term relief, but helping your body work better overall.

Most headaches aren’t random.

They’re often your body signaling a mix of tension, stress, and overload.

When we look at headaches clinically, we’re not just focusing on the head. We’re looking at the neck, jaw, shoulders, sleep, and overall stress load.

Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and reduce how often headaches show up - not just temporarily relieve them.

A lot of people also notice better sleep and less overall tension.
If headaches are becoming your normal, it’s worth looking a little deeper.

(Personal note: I’ve dealt with headaches most of my life. They show up far less when I’m consistent with acupuncture, eating well, moving regularly, and getting enough sleep.)

A lot of people think jaw treatment means seeing a specialist.

But many RMTs are trained to assess and treat TMJ dysfunction, including working intra-orally.

In this clip, Robyn walks through how she approaches it:

– clear communication during treatment
– working muscle by muscle (especially the masseter)
– adjusting pressure based on your feedback
– assessing how the jaw is actually moving

It’s a lot more collaborative and comfortable than most people expect.
