Pause for a moment. Right here, right now.

How do you actually feel? Not how you think you should feel, not how you were feeling yesterday—but right now, in this moment.

What's been quietly sitting in the back of your mind, waiting for your attention?

And here's the important part: What do you need today? Rest? Connection?

Boundaries? Movement? Permission to feel what you're feeling?

Try this simple practice:
✨ Check in with yourself
✨ Name one thing that's been on your mind
✨ Identify what you need today
✨ Write it down or say it out loud

Speaking your truth—even just to yourself—is a powerful act of self-awareness. It's the first step in honoring your needs instead of bypassing them.

Your feelings are valid. Your needs matter. And taking a moment to check in isn't selfish—it's essential.

What do you need today? 💭

As we step into 2026, remember that new beginnings don't require perfection—they just require one small step forward.

Whether you're setting intentions, continuing your healing journey, or simply taking things one day at a time, know that wherever you are is exactly where you need to be right now.

Here's to a year of growth, self-compassion, and gentle progress. Wishing you peace and possibility in the days ahead. 💙

Kids Don’t Just ‘Get Over’ Trauma — They Heal With Help.

Kids are resilient — and they also need support.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, we help families navigate this process safely and compassionately.

Is EMDR Really Evidence-Based? Absolutely.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most researched and effective trauma therapies available — recommended by the American Psychological Association and World Health Organization.

It doesn’t erase memories. It helps your brain store them in a way that no longer triggers the same distress.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, all of our therapists are EMDR trained — and it’s one of the most common ways we help clients find relief and stability.

Myth vs. Truth: What Trauma Therapy Really Looks Like

Myth: “Trauma therapy means reliving everything in painful detail.”

Truth: Good trauma therapy helps you build safety first. You’ll learn coping and grounding skills before you ever approach difficult memories — and you’re always in control.

Effective trauma therapies are paced and structured, not overwhelming.

Think Trauma Therapy Means Reliving the Past? Think Again.

There are a lot of myths about trauma therapy — that it means reliving your worst memories, or that it’s only for people with “big” traumas.

The truth? Trauma therapy is about healing safely, at your pace, with the right support.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, we specialize in approaches like EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT that help you process, not re-experience.

Healing doesn’t mean reliving. It means reprocessing, reframing, and reclaiming.
