🌿 Take a Breath Tuesday 🌿

💬 What’s one small reset you can give yourself this Tuesday?

Life moves fast, and sometimes our minds get stuck on the go.
Today, take one intentional pause to breathe deeply and reset.

✨ Try this quick exercise:

Inhale slowly for 4 seconds 🫁

Hold for 4 seconds ⏸️

Exhale for 6 seconds 💨

Repeat 3 times

Just a few mindful breaths can reduce stress, boost focus, and bring calm to your day.

Let’s talk insecurity. Yeah, that annoying little voice that whispers “you’re not enough.”

Here’s the truth: insecurity doesn’t disappear if you ignore it—it grows. You address it by noticing it, naming it, and then choosing to act anyway. Confidence isn’t the absence of fear; it’s showing up in spite of it.

Next time that voice pops up, don’t fight it, don’t beat yourself up—just say, “Thanks for your input, but I’ve got this.” 💪

Own your worth. Always.

Here’s today’s Ask Michele:

Question: “Why did you choose to specialize in child and adolescent psychiatry?”

Michele’s Answer: “Kids don’t hide. They’re messy, honest, and real. I get to help them find their calm in the chaos, their strength in the struggle, and their voice when the world tries to drown it out. That’s not just a job—it’s my calling.”

💬 Send your question to Michele by direct messaging this page or email michele@psychsolutionsks.com! She will answer a new one every week.

💭 Talk It Out Tuesday 💭
What’s one thing on your mind that you’ve been holding in?

Sharing your thoughts—big or small—can lighten the load. A quick chat, a voice message, or even writing it down and reading it aloud to someone you trust can make all the difference. 🌱

Connection isn’t about having the perfect words; it’s about being heard. 💕

👉 Tag a friend who always makes you feel seen, or drop a 🤝 if you’re open to meaningful conversations today.

💡 Let’s Talk About “Gaslighting” 💡

I’m seeing the word “gaslighting” thrown around a lot lately — and often it’s being used for any kind of harsh or unfair behavior. But true gaslighting is much more specific.

👉 Gaslighting = a manipulative distortion of reality designed to make you doubt your own memory, perception, or sanity.

👉 Harsh criticism or venting = expressing frustration (even unfairly), but not altering reality.

A quick self-check:
📝 After a conversation, am I confused about what really happened? That’s closer to gaslighting.
💔 Or do I just feel hurt or angry? That’s criticism, not gaslighting.

Bottom line: Misusing the term “gaslighting” can water down its real meaning and make it harder for people experiencing actual manipulation to name it.

Let’s keep the language clear so we can better support those truly being gaslit — and also recognize when it’s just an argument, not manipulation.
