Grief is a reflection of your love.

What needed affirmations!

One of the most important aspects of affirmations is creating a safe environment for you to believe them. Set boundaries with the people who make you feel the opposite of these things. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people and your affirmations will reflect and reinforce that love.
“It is safe for me to need and ask for help.”
“My needs, feelings, and emotions are valid.”
“I am proud of myself. I am doing a great job.”
“It’s okay to make mistakes. Mistakes don’t mean I am bad.”
“I deserve to feel safe in all of my relationships.
“How I was treated was not my fault. It’s not my shame to carry.”
“My worth is not tied to how others treat me or feel about me.”
“I am lovable and deserving of tenderness and comfort.”

Sometimes things really are just hard....

After enduring trauma or mistreatment, it is common to struggle in the areas of safety, trust, power & control, intimacy, and self esteem. In Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we work to challenge cognitive distortions that keep us stuck or triggered. By stabilizing and challenging inaccurate thoughts, we will feel safer and more balanced in our surroundings and thus better be able to handle each situation as it arises.

It's easy to think someone who doesn't appear sad or who is smiling is done grieving. But grief lasts as long as our love for that person, so in a sense it's never-ending. Sometimes people present well when they really are beyond overwhelmed. They hide behind a smile for a multitude of reasons, and because often our society is less accepting of grief or even sadness. 

Other times, the smile is genuine and they may simply be allowed in the moments naturally which is a very healthy way to grieve. We see this most often in children who will cry one moment and then playfully run around the yard the next. Kids are smart enough to give themselves "grief breaks." If someone you know has gone through a loss recently, it's important to realize they're likely still grieving and can still use all the love and support they can get for a long time to come.

It's okay to not want to buy into Valentine's Day.

It's okay to be very sad, missing your loved ones this Valentine's Day.

It's okay to absolutely love the holiday and celebrate to your heart's content.

Be where you are today. 

And if you're not sure where you stand, feel free to be like Lily who doesn't love Valentine's Day, but who loves Love and all that it stands for.

Yes! With trauma therapy, you don't necessarily always just move on. We assist you in making amends in order to heal.

Today is Lily's Gotcha Day! Five years ago I adopted this adorable and sweet girl. Since that time, she has charmed and barked her way into the hearts of our family and so many clients. We love her very much! Happy Gotcha Day, Lily!

DFW is among a handful of cities that are experiencing a winter storm. We hope everyone stays safe and warm tonight.

This is one of the countless examples as to why many individuals fear not only medical treatment, but mental health treatment.

If we're in the business of healing, we need to gain a better understanding of racial traumas. Only then can genuine healing begin.

If you are ready to take that first step in combating transgenerational and racial traumas, reach out to The Growing Edge LLC @growingedgellc They have some very helpful courses.

Humans are capable of change. You don't have to be the smartest or the strongest there is in order to survive. As the Marines say, you just have to "improvise, adapt and overcome." Change is not always easy but it is POSSIBLE.

Today, on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we wish everyone love for themselves and others.

If we could follow this advice and learn to not only love ourselves, but accept ourselves, the world might be a significantly kinder place to be for all of us.

We are a couple days late, but did not want to miss an opportunity to show appreciation for our Law Enforcement Officers. Thank you for your bravery and all you do to ensure our safety.

As a trauma and grief therapist, a human, and a survivor, I was very moved by this movie. I'm so impressed with how deep they dove to depict how transgenerational trauma can impact everyone in the family. This post only touches on a couple of the roles, but transgenerational trauma impacts every individual in the family. If you can relate to this, you are not alone and healing is so very possible. We are here. Call us. 972-674-9166. www.FindingFreedomTherapy.com

Starting Therapy is always the New Year's resolution I love to hear the most! It can be a struggle to find the right therapist, but you will know when you've found the right one because you will experience growth and change. Even in the most dire circumstances growth and healing can be found in therapy. It may be the best New Year's resolution you ever make.

It's that time of year again when we try to create new habits & become better, healthier, more productive people. But what if the answer is not in doing more & being more? What if the answer is in doing less, being more present, & simply being ourselves?
