🧠 5 Ways to Ground Yourself During an Anxiety Spiral
Anxiety can interfere with daily functioning—at work, at home, and in relationships. These 5 quick grounding techniques can help restore calm and focus:

1️⃣ Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method to engage your senses
2️⃣ Place your feet firmly on the ground to reconnect with your body
3️⃣ Practice box breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, pause)
4️⃣ Hold a calming object to shift sensory input
5️⃣ Listen to music or nature sounds to redirect anxious thoughts

Grounding techniques are a practical way to manage anxiety in the moment. But for lasting relief, therapy can help identify and heal the root causes.

Why Do Children Need Behavioral Therapy?

You’re at Target with your little sidekick. You just said “no” to Easter candy… and suddenly, there’s screaming, kicking, and a full meltdown on the floor. 😩

It’s been happening more often—and no matter what you try, it feels like things are getting worse.

If you’ve wondered whether something more is going on, you’re not alone. Early intervention can make a big difference for children struggling with social and emotional challenges. 💛

The longer these behaviors go unaddressed, the harder they can be to manage. Support now can help your child build healthier coping skills for life.

👉 Contact The Relationship Therapy Center today to learn how child therapy can help your family.

Nancy Ryan, M.A., LMFT and owner of the Relationship Therapy Center was recently quoted on the topic of AI in an article by Ms Karen Nyasha Marasha: The Impact of AI on Therapists and Their Work.

As AI technologies like chatGPT shape the working world, we asked therapists to share their thoughts and insights on the benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations of using AI for mental health. These are their responses to our questions on using Chatgpt and other AI tools for therapy.

Meet our newest team member at the Relationship Therapy Center., Rebekah Daly, AMFT, APCC

Rebekah sees children, teens, individuals and couples. My heart is to help you connect more deeply to yourself, to others, and (if you’re interested) to God. I provide therapy for:

"People describe me as calm, easygoing, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I am blessed (or maybe cursed?) with being able to see both sides of an issue concurrently, which makes me uniquely suited for working with couples and families. I always want to ensure that my clients feel comfortable and safe enough to be vulnerable, because vulnerability allows them to feel seen and known. And feeling known makes you feel a little less alone and a little more confident that maybe you’re not so different, after all. I bring my whole self to the therapy room, so I invite you to bring yours. Acceptance where you are, as you are, is always the starting point."

How to Stop Negative Thoughts - Thoughts are powerful.

Maybe you’ve noticed – the more negative they are, the more they command your attention.

Studies suggest that around 80% of scenarios that replay in the average person’s brain are negative. In fact, the reason you’re here today is partially because of negative thinking. Your ancestors used it to their advantage – they needed it to keep them on high alert from predators and other dangers – and it worked. It kept them alive long enough to procreate, and pass those genes down to you.

However, today’s world is vastly different from theirs, and much of what our mind focuses on now just causes unnecessary suffering.

We spend so much time worrying about highly improbable what if’s, robbing ourselves of the chance to think about pleasant things, and experience joy in the here and now.

If you find yourself trapped in negative thinking, here are some tricks you can use to part the clouds; make room for sunshine in your mind.

🧠💔 How Do You Release Trauma Stored in Your Body?

The reason traumatic events pack such a powerful punch boils down to survival. Back in the day, anyone who was blasé about tigers and other threats didn’t last very long.

Our brains are wired to obsess over a traumatic event because it thinks our survival depends on it. The clearer you remember the terrifying aspects of the event, the less likely you are to go through the same experience again.

The results of this are twofold: your mind obsesses over the event as if it happened yesterday, and your body reacts. You can feel your heart rate escalate as you replay the situation in your mind. You begin avoiding situations that bear even the slightest resemblance to the traumatic event.

When your body reacts, it triggers your mind, and images of the event flood your brain. This cycle can repeat indefinitely until you learn how to move through the trauma and release it.

But how, right? This seems like a pretty complicated process.

Here are some techniques that will help you release pent-up trauma that is stored in your body.
