Feeling nervous in social situations isn’t a personal flaw. It’s social anxiety, and it’s more common than people realize. This article breaks down practical ways to understand your triggers and work with your anxiety instead of letting it run the show. You deserve connection, confidence, and calm.

It's easy to spiral and feel anxious when you're on a first date, at your office holiday party or heading to your high school reunion. The stakes feel high and you want to make a good impression. But social anxiety can get in the way of connection, fun and feeling good. In this episode, we give you....

The holidays can magnify everything — joy, connection, expectations, and sometimes… spiraling thoughts.

Whether it’s:
* replaying conversations
* second-guessing family dynamics
* worrying about juggling traditions, travel, or boundaries
* or wanting everything to feel just right

You are not alone.

Sometimes our minds go into over-drive in moments that are supposed to feel special — and that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It just means you’re human.

This season, let’s give ourselves permission to slow down, breathe, and gently redirect our thoughts when they start to snowball.

Mark Garrett, LCSW-C, put together these 5 CBT-based tools to help stop overthinking, designed to support calm, clarity, and self-compassion — right when you need it most. Schedule your consultation at 866-635-6866 or email info@ccgrouptherapy.com.

Are you wondering whether the relationship you’re in is healthy — or whether narcissistic patterns may be playing a role?
For many people, the signs can be subtle at first: feeling criticized more often than supported, questioning your own memory after disagreements, or finding yourself working endlessly to keep the peace.

Narcissism in a relationship can show up through:
• Love-bombing followed by withdrawal
• Gaslighting or rewriting events
• Lack of empathy or accountability
• Intense reactions to even gentle feedback
• Cycles of idealization → devaluation → hoovering
• Feeling emotionally unsafe, dismissed, or “never enough”

At The Counseling Center Group, we work with clients across Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, New York, New Jersey, and Florida to understand these dynamics and reclaim emotional stability and self-trust.
Our therapists use research-supported approaches — including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and relational therapy — to help you:
• Recognize unhealthy patterns
• Strengthen boundaries
• Heal from emotional manipulation
• Build healthier, more fulfilling relationships
• Reconnect with your sense of worth and clarity

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.
We’re here to help you create meaningful change and a life you feel grounded in.

💛 You don’t have to do this alone.

If you grew up in an environment where keeping the peace was a survival skill, putting yourself last can start to feel normal.

But constantly managing other people’s emotions is not the same as connection.It is codependency. Healing begins when you learn to hear your own needs again and honor them without guilt. Therapy gives you the tools to practice healthier boundaries and healthier relationships.

You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to choose yourself.
