Let’s be real — therapy isn’t just for talking about stress or sadness.
It’s also the space where you can unpack the real stuff — the thoughts, habits, and experiences you’ve maybe never said out loud.

Here are 6 things you might hesitate to bring up… but absolutely can:
💬 S*x & intimacy
💬 Drugs & alcohol
💬 Religion & spiritual doubt
💬 Family secrets & resentments
💬 Money & financial shame
💬 Anger & those “dark” thoughts

Your therapist’s job isn’t to judge you — it’s to help you explore, understand, and grow from your truth. Every part of you is welcome here. 🌿

Our founder, Jummy Kirby, M.A., LPC, PMH-C, CMIP, was invited to speak at Kutztown University’s Psychology Career Conference! 💛

She joined an inspiring panel of professionals to share her journey as a psychotherapist and mindfulness-informed practitioner — encouraging students to pursue purpose-driven paths in the field of mental health. Nearly 100 psychology students attended, eager to learn, connect, and explore meaningful ways to make an impact in their future careers.

We’re so proud of the work Jummy continues to do in inspiring the next generation of mental health professionals to lead with empathy, intention, and authenticity. 🌱

Happy Wednesday, R&T Family!
We had such a fang-tastic time serving as a Ghost Host at Lansdale Borough’s Spooktacular Soirée last weekend! 🕸️✨

Our hearts are full seeing the community come together in such creative, joy-filled, and meaningful ways. Events like these remind us how powerful connection and laughter are for the soul — and how healing community moments can be. 💛

A huge thank-you to the Lansdale Parks & Recreation team for hosting such a beautifully spirited event, and to everyone who stopped by to share a smile, grab a treat, or simply creep it real with us! 🧡

Today, choose softness over survival.
🌱 Sip water like it’s a love language.
🌤️ Step outside and let the air remind you that you belong here.
💬 Text someone who feels like safety.
🪞Book the session you’ve been avoiding—because healing isn’t weakness, it’s courage in motion.

You don’t have to have it all together to deserve peace.
You just have to show up—softly, honestly, as you are.

It’s heartbreaking to see the Philadelphia Center Against S*xual Violence (formerly ) pause services amid the state budget impasse. Survivors deserve consistent access to crisis care, advocacy, and trauma-informed support — always.

At Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting, we have proudly served as a VCAP (Victims Compensation Assistance Program) provider for years.

For those unfamiliar, VCAP helps cover the cost of therapy and related expenses for survivors of violent crimes such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and homicide loss. When approved, VCAP pays providers directly so survivors can receive care without financial strain.

Our hearts are with the advocates, clinicians, and survivors affected by this news. Healing shouldn’t have to wait for a budget. 💛

If you or someone you know needs trauma-informed therapy or help applying for VCAP support, visit randtcounseling.com or call 215-422-3291 — our 24-hour answering service ensures someone is always available to take your call.

We are so proud of Zeely Edwards for sharing her voice and wisdom at The Level Up Experience (.experience), hosted by the amazing duo & .morganvictoria. ✨

This experience was filled with powerful conversations, authentic connections, and women pouring into one another. 💫 Zeely reminded us all of the importance of showing up as our full selves, walking in purpose, and embracing growth. 🌱

When women support women, we all rise. 💕

Sometimes we reach for quick fixes — new bangs, a different look, a fresh purchase — hoping the outside shift will soften the inside ache. ✂️🐸

And while those changes might give us a momentary spark, they rarely touch the deeper roots of what we’re holding: grief, anxiety, exhaustion, or that quiet ache that haircuts can’t reach.

Healing isn’t about covering up or trimming away parts of ourselves. It’s about learning to sit with our stories, honoring the hard days, and slowly cultivating compassion for the person staring back in the mirror. 🌱

If you’ve been carrying heaviness:
✨ Pause before judging yourself.
✨ Ask: what do I truly need, not just what feels quick?
✨ Remember that transformation is an inside-out process, not outside-in.

The bangs didn’t fail you. They just revealed the truth: that your healing deserves time, tenderness, and community support. 💚

You are not alone in this journey.

I really wish people knew that mental health is physical too.

Anxiety can feel like a racing heart.
Depression can feel like exhaustion you can’t shake.
Stress can feel like constant headaches or body tension.

Your body keeps the score, and it’s always communicating what your mind is carrying.

🌿 Remember: You don’t have to go through it alone. If you’ve been feeling the weight physically or emotionally, reaching out for support can be the first step toward relief and healing.

Your mental health matters. Your body matters. You matter. 💚

We’ve all had those moments:
Brain says no.
Wallet says no.
Even the universe says no.
But somehow, we still say sold!

Impulse decisions can feel good in the moment—but in mental health, quick fixes rarely lead to lasting healing.

Just like buying something we don’t need, coping with pain through temporary distractions—whether it’s overworking, overspending, or numbing emotions—might bring a moment of relief, but it doesn’t address what’s underneath.

Real healing takes patience. It means sitting with discomfort, asking hard questions, and building tools that strengthen us over time.

✨ Instead of “quick fixes,” try sustainable practices:
• Journaling when emotions feel overwhelming
• Talking openly with a trusted friend or therapist
• Practicing deep breathing before reacting
• Choosing self-compassion over self-criticism

It’s okay if progress feels slow. Healing isn’t about the quick buy now moments—it’s about investing in your well-being for the long term.
