Starting this September, I will be offering a monthly Dance Circle in Barboursville. We are going to dance for the joy of it. Because I mean, who doesn't need that?!?! Hope you can join us.

Forget the treadmill, if you want to beat depression, just dance. That’s the message from a landmark Australian study analyzing data from 218 trials and over 14,000 people. Researchers found that while any kind of exercise helps, dancing delivered the biggest and most consistent drop in depressive symptoms, outperforming walking, jogging, yoga, tai chi, strength training, and even standard medical treatments like antidepressants or talk therapy.

Why is dancing so powerful? Experts say it’s the perfect combination of movement, music, and emotional expression. Dancing engages the mind as much as the body, releases feel-good neurotransmitters, and often includes a social component, whether you’re sharing a dance floor or just moving at home. This unique blend helps break cycles of negative thinking, boosts mindfulness, and offers an emotional release few other activities can match.

The best part: you don’t have to be a professional or even leave your house to reap the rewards. Whether you dance alone in your living room or join a group class, this joyful movement is one of the most accessible and effective mental health tools science has uncovered. Next time you’re feeling low, turn up the music, your brain and body will thank you.

We might be coaching them about boundaries with their toxic family.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
We might be feeding them self-help books.⁠
⁠
We might be trying to get them to fix their relationship with their sister.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
We might even be trying to get them to be better parents in blended families. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
We might be trying to sell them on therapy. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
When I see clients struggling with a partner who isn't psych minded - ugh. I get it. It's really, really tough, especially if that client is on a path. Sometimes, their partner eventually goes to therapy and things get better, sure, but what I'm describing here isn't about the outcomes. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Most of the time - their partner has zero interest and that is their choice. That's the brutal honesty. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Our work is to look at how we are trying to finish business with our parents, and a lot of that involves getting partners to wake up. That was my story. I projected my parents onto either unavailable or disinterested partners, so they could wake up and be more available to me. That's the core-wound stuff. There... I fixed it. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Sure, people can influence their partners in good ways, but we have to honestly ask ourselves.⁠
⠀⁠
Are we barking up the wrong tree? Are we controlling someone who isn't on our path?

Beautiful way to look at it.

“Every time I think I am healed, another wound whispers beneath my skin, another memory rises like smoke from the ashes of old versions of me, but maybe healing is not a destination, maybe it is the brave act of walking through your own ruins and still planting flowers.”

A moment I’ll never forget is when I said no to enabling.

At first, I felt a wave of guilt rush over me—deep, aching, and real. 💔
I asked myself, “Am I abandoning him? Am I being selfish?”

But then I realized...
I wasn’t turning my back on him.
I was turning toward truth.
Toward healing.
Toward peace, for both of us.

Saying no didn’t mean I stopped loving him.
It meant I started loving him in a healthier, stronger way—without shame, fear, or control.
