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 ☺️

Ever had a song hit just right and suddenly feel your whole body relax? That’s not just a good playlist—that’s your nervous system responding.

I (Melissa) have been working on a new certification based in Polyvagal Theory—it’s blowing my mind. I’ve learned that certain types of music and sound can actually help rewire the brain to feel safe again. When we feel safe, everything works better—our brain, our sleep, our mood, even digestion.

The mind-body connection is wild… and I can’t wait to offer this service soon!

What’s a song that helps you reset? Drop it below—we’re building a playlist. 👇

It's International Day of Families!

The beautiful thing about family is:
Family is about who shows up—not just who shares your last name.

Whether your crew is biological, chosen, blended, barky, or a little bit chaotic (okay, a lot chaotic)—they matter. YOU matter.

So today, we’re celebrating the ones who love us even when we’re cranky, weird, or just really bad at replying to texts.

Tag your people & Let 'em know they’re your ride-or-die...Or at least your ride-to-Costco.

💚 Mental Health Check-In: Midweek Edition 💚

We’re midweek, mid-May, and maybe... mid-overwhelmed? 😅
Here’s your reminder from all of us at Trident Counseling:

Take a moment to pause and check in with yourself.

What truly has to be done today... and what can wait?

Look around—who might be able to help carry the load?
Sometimes, the people in our lives don’t offer to help because they see us killing it all the time. But that doesn’t mean we can’t delegate.

You don’t have to do it all alone. 💛

💐 Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

Motherhood isn’t just about biology—it’s about showing up. In the carpool line. In the tough talks. In the 2 a.m. worry and the 2 p.m. Target run for those last minute supplies they forgot to tell you they needed.

To those who nurture, love, guide, and Google “how to help a kid with big feelings” at midnight—we see you. And we think you’re doing amazing.

💛 From all of us at Trident Counseling, Happy Mother’s Day.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and today we’re sending out a gentle reminder:

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to ask for help.

At Trident Counseling, we believe healing isn’t just about big breakthroughs—it’s also about honoring the small, daily choices that support your well-being.

💬 What’s one small thing you’ve done today to care for your mental well-being?
Drop it in the comments. We want to celebrate the little wins together.

On my way to Springfield for a training on using plants in therapy…..it’s only fitting that I am greeted by these beauties this morning when I walk out the door!

Plants have incredible benefits to our mental health and I’m excited to further my understanding of this so I can share more!!

🌺 Show us your favorite plant/flower pics in the comments!

Here’s your friendly reminder from your Trident therapists: laughter IS therapy.

Laughter isn't just a reaction—it's a regulation tool. Yep, that giggle fit? It's your nervous system saying, "Hey, I'm safe here."

In fact, laughter activates the vagus nerve (the body's internal chill switch), helps release pent-up emotion, and reminds us that not everything has to be so heavy. Even in hard seasons, moments of laughter can create space for connection and healing.

So go ahead—laugh at that awkward text you sent, rewatch your favorite blooper reel, or get together with that friend who always makes you cackle (or if you're like me and my sisters....wheeze laugh!).

Because healing doesn’t always look like deep breathing and serious talks. Sometimes, it looks like snorting over a meme and remembering you're still human.

😄 What’s the last thing that made you laugh so hard you cried? Drop it in the comments—we're looking to laugh too!

A huge thank you to Geary County School District for the opportunity to spend Good Friday with your incredible team! Wendy and I were honored to lead conversations around trauma-informed approaches in schools—something we’re deeply passionate about.

We believe schools are often the first place where struggling students are truly seen. When educators are equipped to look beyond behaviors and recognize both unmet needs *and* hidden strengths, that’s when real transformation begins.

We see and appreciate the heart, effort, and dedication school staff pour into their students every day. Thank you for the important work you do—and for allowing us to be part of your training day!

And an extra thank you to those who left us such thoughtful reviews. Your kind words truly meant a lot!
