It's emotional exhaustion. Feeling disconnected from things that used to bring you joy. Going through the motions. Burnout affects every part of your life - relationships, health, motivation. If you're running on empty, it might be time to talk to someone. We're here to help.

It's not lying on a couch talking about your childhood for an hour (unless that's helpful for you). It's honest conversations about what's actually going on right now. It's learning tools to manage anxiety. It's processing grief or trauma at your own pace. It's figuring out patterns you want to change. It's a space where you don't have to pretend everything's fine. That's it. No magic. Just support, tools, and someone who's actually listening.

You don't need to be productive all week to deserve a break. You don't need to hit some arbitrary goal before you're allowed to rest. Your worth isn't tied to your output. Take the weekend. Actually rest. No guilt required.

So much of Dr. King’s work was rooted in community, care, and the belief that people deserve to be whole, not just productive.

Angel wrote today’s blog as a reminder that healing, rest, and mental health aren’t extras. They’re part of justice work.

If these reflections resonate, I’d love for you to stay connected.

Anxiety is really convincing. It sounds like your own thoughts, so it feels true. But anxiety isn't giving you facts. It's giving you worst-case scenarios disguised as reality. Learning to recognize when anxiety is running the show is the first step to not letting it control your life.

Friendly reminder from therapists:
🚫 Burnout is out.
🌿 Listening to your body is in.
Self-care doesn’t have to be earned — it’s allowed.

Listen First: Before speaking, listen to understand the needs and perspectives of those who are marginalized.
Empathize: Put yourself in their shoes to better advocate for them.
Act with Courage: Speak out even when it's difficult.
Be a Defender: Be an advocate for those who have no other advocate.

In times like these, many people are feeling overwhelmed, scared, angry, or exhausted and that makes sense. From a therapeutic lens, this isn’t about choosing sides. It’s about staying connected to our values: empathy, fairness, and care for those who are most vulnerable.

Speaking up can look many ways. Sometimes it’s advocacy. Sometimes it’s setting boundaries. Sometimes it’s listening, offering support, or refusing to dehumanize others, even when things feel tense.

Staying grounded in compassion (for others and yourself) matters.

Care for your nervous system. Care for your community. Both can exist at the same time. 💙

That conversation you keep putting off. The relationship that doesn't feel right anymore. The anxiety that's been quietly building for months. The career that's draining you. Sometimes we get really good at staying busy so we don't have to face what's actually bothering us. What would it look like to stop avoiding it?

Therapy gives you space to actually look at the thing you've been avoiding. To talk through what's really going on without judgment. To figure out what you actually want to do about it. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
