✨ **Speaking at History, Haunts & Legends!** ✨

I'm heading to **Jefferson, Texas** Tomorrow **Saturday, April 11** to speak at the History, Haunts & Legends conference—and I'd love to see you there!

This is where paranormal enthusiasts, investigators, and curious minds come together. I'll be sharing what I've learned about paranormal trauma, how to recognize it, and the evidence-based therapies (EMDR, EFT) that actually help.

If you've experienced something unexplained, felt dismissed by traditional therapy, or just want to connect with others who understand—this is YOUR event. No judgment. No skepticism. Just real conversations about real experiences.

**See you in Jefferson!** 👻

**How I Manage My Own Mental Wellness 💜**

People sometimes assume that because I'm a therapist, I have it all figured out. Spoiler alert: I don't. And I'm here to tell you that's okay.

**Here's my honest truth:**

I practice what I preach. I use the same tools I teach my clients. Some days are harder than others, and on those days, I lean on these practices:

✨ **Grounding techniques** when anxiety creeps in. The 5-4-3-2-1 method is my go-to.

✨ **Mindfulness & meditation** to quiet the noise. Even 5 minutes makes a difference.

✨ **Movement** because my body holds stress. A walk, yoga, or just stretching helps me reset.

✨ **Boundaries** with work, technology, and people. This one's non-negotiable for me.

✨ **Connection** with people I trust. Isolation feeds anxiety; community heals it.

✨ **Self-compassion** when I mess up. I'm human. You're human. We're all doing our best.

**The biggest thing I've learned:** Mental wellness isn't a destination. It's a practice. Some days you nail it. Some days you just survive. Both are okay.

If I—someone who specializes in mental health—still struggle sometimes, then you're not broken for struggling either. You're just human.

And that's enough.

Let's work through this together. Book your free 15-minute consultation.

**3 Signs You Might Be Experiencing Paranormal Trauma 👻**

Not sure if what you're going through is paranormal trauma? Here are some key signs:

**1. Physical Experiences You Can't Explain**
Feeling touched when no one's there. Scratches or marks appearing on your body. Sudden chills, shivers, or nausea without a medical cause. Hearing footsteps, voices, or sounds that others don't hear. These aren't imagination—they're real sensations that deserve real support.

**2. Emotional & Psychological Impact**
Intense anxiety or fear, especially at night or in certain rooms. Sleep disruption or nightmares. Feeling unsafe in your own home. Hypervigilance (always on alert). Shame or embarrassment about what's happening. Depression from feeling isolated or misunderstood.

**3. Daily Life Disruption**
Avoiding certain rooms or times of day. Difficulty concentrating at work or school. Relationship strain from not being able to explain what's happening. Feeling like no one will believe you. Isolation because you're afraid of judgment.

**Here's what matters most:**

Whether your experience is paranormal, psychological, or somewhere in between, **your suffering is real and valid.** You deserve compassionate, evidence-based care from someone who believes you.

That's where I come in. At Amyris Counseling & Wellness, we treat paranormal trauma with the same clinical rigor and respect as any other trauma.

**You're not alone. You're not crazy. You deserve help.**
