Hey friend, if you feel like you’re spiraling right now, it’s understandable. There’s a lot going on right now. Remember to take a deep breath. You are safe.

Your feelings may feel big, but they’re like waves — they rise and they fall. Your thoughts may feel loud, and remember: thoughts are not facts.

Come back to your breath. Inhale slowly, exhale gently. You don’t have to figure everything out right now. You don’t have to carry this alone.

You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough.

This week is Su***de Prevention & Awareness Week.

If you’re holding pain right now, I want you to know: your life matters, your story matters, and help is available.

If you are in immediate danger, please call emergency services. If you’re in the U.S., you can call or text 988 any time.

If you’re supporting someone who’s struggling: listen, check in often, ask directly (“Are you thinking about harming yourself?”), and help connect them to professional support.

Small, steady presence saves lives.

Masking can help you “fit in”—but at a cost. The pressure to hide your natural responses, hold back stims, or force eye contact can lead to deep exhaustion and anxiety.

In counseling, we make space for the unmasked version of you—without judgment. Learning to notice when, why, and how you’re masking can open the door to self-trust and rest.

You don’t have to constantly perform to be worthy of understanding.

Autism counseling isn’t about “fixing” anyone. It’s about support, clarity, and helping you thrive as your most authentic self.

Whether it’s sensory overload, social misunderstandings, masking fatigue, or burnout—therapy is a space to explore these challenges with compassion and real tools.

If you’ve felt misunderstood or dismissed in other spaces, I get it. You deserve to be supported in a way that honors your experience.

Breathing techniques, journaling, or going for a walk might bring temporary relief — and that matters. But if you’re carrying deep wounds, trauma, or patterns shaped by years of hurt, coping alone won’t heal that pain.

Sometimes what we call “coping” is just surviving.

Healing goes deeper.
It involves safe spaces, honesty, boundaries, grief, and often support from others — therapy, community, faith, or all of the above.

Don’t settle for surviving. You were made to heal.

How are we already heading back to school?!

Whether you’re a teacher, a student, or a parent to students the adjustment can be tough and overwhelming! Preparing ourselves and being gracious with ourselves and others can help set us up for the most effective transition as possible.

It’s all about grace and flexibility versus perfectionism!

How are you planning on prepping your kids and/or yourself for this change?

There are a lot of things to be on the lookout for when you’re trying to determine whether or not therapy is moving you towards your goals effectively.

Growth is not linear though. That’s definitely important to keep in mind.

But are you seeing yourself gradually move into new spaces?

Are you learning more about your habits and coping skills? Are you understanding other options to explore and try instead?

These are some (definitely not all!) of the things to be on the lookout for when you’re trying to gage where you are on your journey.
