It is a time of reflection and remembrance for Southwest Florida as we reach the one year anniversary of Hurricane Ian. This was a life changing, catastrophic event for our area which can still be felt in many ways one year later. Anniversaries of traumatic events can stir up emotions, memories, images and even body sensations for those who face them. At this one year mark let’s remember what was endured, honor those lives lost and keep in our prayers the ones who are still rebuilding or healing from this day.

The emotional toll is heavy.

Remember to care for yourself. Recognize and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings. Connect with supports. Let stress reactions flow through you so they can pass. Breathe. Rest. Move your body.

If you begin to feel worse, this can be a normal response to a traumatic event. Reaching out for professional help is sometimes what is necessary. Our therapists are here to help.

Healing is sometimes incremental but always cumulative. Keep collecting those moments of self care and compassion to build the internal resources you deserve. And if you waver, fall off track or even get fully derailed you can always return to the process. You can’t ungrow or unknow. Keep showing up for yourself!

This is an interesting way of looking at why people change from John C. Maxwell. It aligns with the therapy process beautifully.

1. People tend to wait to start therapy after enduring months or years of discomfort and pain. They finally feel they’ve had enough and take the step to reach out. A therapist is there to accept you in your hardest moments and help you begin to make a way through.

2. Through the therapeutic process you gain insight. You learn to self reflect, to see yourself in new ways. Your therapist will also see aspects of you that you can’t quite see yet, helping you feel inspired to make healthy changes.

3. Therapy offers new information, education and perspective that allows you to understand yourself and your experiences differently. This opens up new possibilities and desire to do things differently.

4. Therapy is a place you receive support, guidance, validation and where you feel seen. This acceptance and environment of care makes things feel possible and in reach allowing you to develop capacity to make changes.

At Renew, we meet you where you’re at, in whatever season you’re in. We’d love to help when you’re ready.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to support your mental health is to simply stop for 5 minutes, scan your body and take some deep breaths. The state of your nervous system drives everything you think, feel, perceive and decide. If you have an active trauma response, live in a frenzied/frantic state or are conditioned to operate in fight or flight, this is imperative for you. By stopping and giving your nervous system a chance to regulate, you are giving yourself a chance to think, feel, perceive and decide from a calmer and more controlled state. Your nervous system will downshift if you give it a chance. It really only takes a few minutes for the body and then the mind to reap the benefits of this simple exercise. Regular use of this will recondition your nervous system to operate as it was designed…to help you survive a threat not live in a constant alarmed state.

As we focus on the people and things we are thankful for today, we must take a moment to acknowledge our clients and community.

From our families to you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
