😮‍💨Pause here. Take a quick self-compassion break…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This post is inspired by Tara Brach’s R.A.I.N. for self-compassion concept.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌦️Here are 5 practices that you can use to cultivate an even greater sense of self-compassion:
1. Speak to yourself like you would a friend.
2. Visualize your inner-child.
3. Listen to a loving-kindness meditation.
4. Write your past-self an apology letter.
5. Journal without judging your feelings.

😖Anxiety and stress are two very common experiences that can have a BIG impact on our lives.

Both anxiety and stress can cause physical symptoms like fatigue, difficulty sleeping, tension headaches, irritability, etc. However, there are some important differences ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Stress is a milder, shorter-term response to a specific external trigger. For example, you may feel stressed about an upcoming deadline at work, but once the project is finished, the stress will go away.

Anxiety, on the other hand, is usually more severe and persistent than stress. It’s a more general feeling of unease.

With stress, you know what’s causing it. With anxiety, on the other hand, the source of your panic, worry, or fear may be less clear.

So the next time you’re feeling frazzled, take a moment to ask yourself: Is this stress or anxiety?

Around this time of year, you may feel that familiar mix of reflection and pressure. The urge to wrap everything up neatly, and at the same time the reminder that life does not really work that way.⁠

So before the year ends, try to slow down a little. Notice the ways you’ve grown. Give yourself credit for things you’ve moved through. Let go of the plans that did not unfold the way you pictured. And hold onto the small wins that mattered more than you realized in the moment🤍

✨Here at Tranquility we have 3 clinicians who have been trained in EMDR. If you have an interest or have any questions regarding the process, please call or text us at 661-379-0173✨

❤️‍🩹 EMDR is a widely recognized therapy that helps people process trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and painful life experiences.

💡 By using eye movements, sounds, or gentle tapping, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming — giving space for healing, calm, and clarity.

👉 EMDR is especially helpful for anyone who feels stuck in the past, triggered by old wounds, or held back by trauma.

🥶 Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year.

If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. These symptoms often resolve during the spring and summer months. ☀️

💪🏼 Don’t brush off that yearly feeling as simply a case of the “winter blues” or a seasonal funk that you have to tough out on your own. Take steps to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.

Anxiety isn’t just mental—it’s physical. When your body feels unsafe, it reacts: racing heart, tight chest, restless energy, stomach knots. 🌪️

That’s why anxiety recovery requires more than just “thinking positive.” It’s about learning to calm the body, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a sense of safety from the inside out.

This is where Somatic Nervous System Healing comes into play…

❤️‍🩹🧠Somatic healing is a therapeutic approach that treats, trauma and stress by using techniques like body awareness, breath-work, and gentle movement to release, stored, physical and emotional tension.

🫂 Understanding the difference between codependent thinking and boundary-led thinking can really change how we approach relationships.

​When we’re stuck in codependent thinking, we tend to put others’ needs before our own, have trouble saying “no,” and let our sense of well-being depend on how others are feeling. We might constantly seek approval, fear rejection so much that we neglect our own wellness, and get too wrapped up in other people’s problems, often crossing emotional boundaries.

​Boundary-led thinking, however, is about finding a healthier balance. It means taking care of your own needs as well as others’, feeling comfortable setting limits, maintaining healthy independence, and clearly communicating what you need.

​Switching to boundary-led thinking requires understanding that your needs are just as important as anyone else’s. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself while also creating relationships where both sides are respected and understood 🩵
