Taking Care of Yourself (and Your Kids) During Difficult Times 💙

When the world feels heavy, here are some ways to protect your heart, mind, and spirit:

Limit screen time — step back from social media, news, or even texts if you need to.

Move your body — a short walk or stretching can release tension.

Practice grounding — try: name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste.

Reach out — call a supportive friend or try the free app HearMe, which connects you with trained listeners anytime.

Crisis support — text “HOME” to 741741 (Crisis Text Line, 24/7) or call/text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline).

💡 Remember, it’s healthy to set boundaries:

If someone sends you a disturbing video: “Please don’t send me things like this, I can’t watch it right now.”

If someone brings up a topic you’re not ready for: “I’d rather not talk about that today.”

If someone says something hurtful: “That was painful to hear, I need to step away.”

✨ It’s okay to not be okay. You’re not alone. Reach out for support when you need it.

🌿 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿

This month is a powerful reminder that mental health is health—and it deserves the same care, compassion, and attention as our physical well-being.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, you’re not alone. Healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to happen in silence.

I provide trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR and EMDR Intensives, to clients across Montana and Arizona, offering both virtual and in-person sessions. Together, we work to release the weight of the past and rediscover your strength.

💚 Let’s break the stigma.
💚 Let’s normalize seeking help.
💚 Let’s support one another in the journey toward healing and wholeness.

If you or someone you love is ready to begin that journey, I offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you explore your next steps.
