Therapy can feel intimidating, like showing the parts of yourself you usually keep hidden. But at Trident, we’re not here to judge — we’re people, just like you. We keep it real, stay relaxed, and walk beside you through it all.

Anyone else relate to this?

If distractions derail you, try these quick tips:
1️⃣ Break tasks into 10–15 minute chunks or smaller measurable goals.
2️⃣ Park non-urgent ideas on a sticky note and come back to them later.
3️⃣ When focus slips, use a reset ritual—stretch, take a deep breath, or stand up. If calm activities aren’t enough, try something active: jumping jacks, high knees, or cross-body movements (like touching your right hand to your left foot, then switching). These “wake up” your brain and may help you get WAY more accomplished! 🙌

✨ Have a kid that struggles with focus? These work for them too!!!

Small steps = big progress. 💙

Su***de has no ethnicity. No age. No gender. No status. It can affect anyone—and that’s why prevention matters for everyone.

World Su***de Prevention Day reminds us that anyone can be affected by su***de, and we can all play a role in preventing it. Visit the Missouri 988 page to get involved and find resources for su***de prevention. ***dePreventionDay

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or “stuck” in overdrive?

Your nervous system is always working to protect you — but sometimes it gets stuck in survival mode and you get stuck in reactions that seem bigger than necessary, anxiousness that seems more than is required, exhausted when you haven't really done much of anything, or wired in a way that makes it difficult to focus on anything you're needing to get done.

The good news? There are some very simple ways to help your body shift back into balance.

Check out this guide to regulating your nervous system:

Reminder: Regulating your nervous system isn’t a luxury—it’s a need.

Here are just a few options to try:
1) Take a 5-min Break outside and just listen to your surroundings
2) Play some Music (Scroll back to last week's post!!!)
3) Box Breathing is a great technique! Don't feel it works for you? Well, there are tons of different breathing exercises to consider, just search in google and find one that works for you!
4) Saying "NO" can be incredibly free-ing (as long as you aren't saying no ALL the time!). So if this weekend is incredibly busy, just pick something to set the boundary and say "NO" and choose something you love to do instead (for me it's reading!).

Remember - Good stuff can still be overwhelming.

Give your body a chance to settle periodically to prevent getting completely overwhelmed. Here's to a Summer of Staying Cool - Inside and Out ☺️
