🧠 Mental Health Monday🧠

Rest is a biological need—not something that has to be earned. 💙
When we live with chronic stress, the nervous system can stay in a constant state of alert, making true rest feel uncomfortable or even unfamiliar.

Taking time to reflect on what actually restores you—not just what keeps you busy—can help bring your mind and body back into balance. Support can also help reduce the guilt many of us carry around resting.

If rest feels difficult or out of reach, you don’t have to navigate that alone.

📞 Call our office at 256-266-1544 to schedule an appointment and get the support you deserve.

🧠 Mental Health Monday🧠

Using “I statements” can help reduce conflict by creating space for healthier conversations—without blame.
Instead of pointing fingers, “I statements” allow you to express your feelings and needs in a way that encourages understanding and connection. 💬💛

If you’re feeling tired of conversations with loved ones that turn into cycles of blame, therapy can help you build skills for more effective and meaningful communication.

📞 Contact our office today at 256-266-1544 to schedule an appointment with our mental health therapist, Mary Frances, and take the next step toward healthier conversations.

You don’t have to wait until things feel heavy to seek support—you deserve care at any stage of life.
✨ Investing in your mental health is always worthwhile.
