January in Amsterdam can feel heavy on your brain and your body.

That is why we often recommend small, accessible tools that help you regulate stress and support your nervous system between sessions.

These mental health apps can support you in daily life:

🧘‍♀️ Insight Timer
Guided meditations and breathwork to calm your nervous system.
You can also find meditations by Jeannette and Louis from Counseling Amsterdam, focused on stress release and body based regulation.

📔 Belle Health
Track your mood and hormones, gain deeper insight into emotional patterns, and make daily support feel easier and more accessible.

🌿 Headspace
Short mindfulness practices that support focus, better sleep and emotional balance.

📝 Moodpress
A simple tool to track emotions, notice patterns and build self awareness over time.

🌊 Rootd
Grounding tools and breathing exercises to support you during anxiety or panic moments.

Apps can be a helpful support, but they do not replace therapy.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, dealing with burnout, anxiety or emotional fatigue, Counseling Amsterdam is here to support you.

Be bored on purpose.

Your brain is not designed to be constantly stimulated by scrolls, notifications and noise.

When there is no space to pause, your nervous system stays in alert mode and true rest never happens.

Boredom is not a problem.

It is a reset point for your brain and your body.
It supports creativity, emotional regulation and mental clarity.

If you feel overstimulated, anxious or mentally tired, practicing intentional boredom can help your nervous system settle and recover.

Try it today:
📱 Put your phone down.
🚶🏻Sit, walk or breathe without distraction for a few minutes.

Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what your brain needs.

2025 was a year of listening.

To the body.
To the brain.
To what happens when stress stays too long.

Through Women’s Circles, workshops, workplace sessions, retreats and meditations, we witnessed how powerful it is when people feel safe enough to slow down and reconnect.

As we close this year, we want to thank everyone who trusted Counseling Amsterdam with their presence, their stories and their nervous system.
2026 is already taking shape.

More grounding spaces in Amsterdam.
More education around burnout and emotional regulation.
More moments where you do not have to do it alone.

If you want to be part of what is coming next year, send us a message or reach out by email.

We would love to hear from you.

Which of these emotions are you feeling right now?

The end of the year often brings mixed emotions. Excitement, pressure, gratitude, overwhelm, nostalgia or simply tiredness in both your brain and your body.

Using an emotion wheel can help you name what is actually happening inside you, so you do not carry it alone or let it build into burnout.

When you can identify your emotion, your nervous system softens because it no longer needs to guess what you are feeling.

If your winter feels heavy or confusing, we are here to support you with grounded tools that help you reconnect with your body and your emotional balance.

Men deal with stress differently. Many carry tension in silence and notice the signs only when their body starts sending stronger signals.

At Counseling Amsterdam we support men who feel overwhelmed, disconnected or pressured to keep everything together. A regulated nervous system creates space for clarity, energy and healthy relationships.

If you feel your stress is showing up in your sleep, focus or body, you are not alone.

Our next 🌸Women’s Circle🌸 is on 10 January 2026, a New Year special with journaling reflections.

Last Women’s Circle reminded us how much the body holds when life becomes too loud.
Together with Evelin from , we created a grounded space where women could release tension, reconnect with their breath and understand what stress and hormones do to their energy.
Many arrived tired in both their brain and their body, and left with more softness, more clarity and a feeling of not having to carry everything alone.

If your winter feels heavy or if you notice early signs of burnout or hormonal overwhelm, a space like this can make a real difference for your emotional balance and your nervous system.

Thank you to Evelin for guiding such a powerful breathwork journey.

If you would like to join future editions after January, send us a message and we will keep you updated quietly and personally.

November gave us powerful moments of connection in Portugal, days where the brain and body finally slowed down and everyone felt held by the group, the ocean, and the practices.

We are carrying that same energy into our next Resilience Retreat 12-16 June.

Spots are now open and only 3 are left. Secure your place for 2026 with a deposit and give yourself something meaningful to look forward to.

Phone addiction isn’t about willpower, it’s about regulation.
Putting the phone far away and setting clear boundaries is step one.
Then comes the hardest part: resisting the itch.
That moment when you want to check — breathe, pause, and wait.
It’s the same brain pattern as any other addiction.
Replacing the habit with something that actually nourishes helps the brain reset.
No shame, just awareness and structure.

If breaking the loop feels impossible, support can help.
