CBT-I: Evidence-Based Sleep Support

🧠 What is CBT-I?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard treatment for sleep issues—more effective than sleep meds long-term.

✨ CBT-I helps you:
• Identify thoughts that interfere with sleep
• Build consistent sleep routines
• Break the cycle of worry + sleeplessness

If stress or trauma makes sleep feel impossible, CBT-I offers structure and relief.

Why Sleep Matters for Mental Health

🛌 Sleep is Mental Health
Struggling with mood, anxiety, or focus? Sleep might be the missing piece.

🧠 Chronic sleep disruption increases symptoms of:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Emotional dysregulation
• Poor memory and concentration

Therapy can help you identify sleep disruptors and reestablish a healthy rest rhythm—especially through approaches like CBT-I.

CBT in Therapy: How It Works

🧠 “CBT is More Than Positive Thinking”

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you:
✔ Recognize harmful thought patterns
✔ Build emotional awareness
✔ Learn new skills to shift behavior and mindset

It’s widely used for anxiety, trauma, depression, and self-esteem—and it works.

💬 CBT focuses on what you can change, not what you can’t.

Reframing: A Powerful CBT Tool

🧠 “Flip the Script: Reframe Your Thoughts”

Reframing is the process of looking at a situation from a different angle. It’s not toxic positivity—it’s a skill that helps reduce distress and regain control.

🔁 Instead of: “I failed, I’m terrible.”
Try: “I didn’t meet my goal, but I can learn from this and try again.”

💬 CBT helps clients learn how to pause, reflect, and reframe unhelpful thoughts.

🧠 "Your Thoughts Aren’t Always Facts"

We all experience cognitive distortions—habitual, negative thought patterns that impact how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

🔹 Common distortions include:
• All-or-nothing thinking
• Mind reading
• Catastrophizing
• Personalization

Becoming aware of these patterns is the first step to changing them.

💬 CBT teaches us how to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones.

Cheese Lovers Day!

Let’s talk about cheddar and chill.
Sometimes, comfort doesn’t come in the form of deep reflection — it comes in a grilled cheese sandwich, a cozy blanket, and a moment of pause.

🧠 Self-care can look like:
✔️ Saying yes to comfort foods
✔️ Allowing pleasure without guilt
✔️ Slowing down for simple joys

Today, if cheese brings you a little bit of joy — embrace it. Mental wellness includes room for delight.

🐾✨ Growing, Learning, Becoming — Myst’s Journey ✨🐾
Myst continues to grow and learn every single week. She’s officially in her late juvenile stage, which means big feelings, big instincts, and lots of learning happening all at once. 💛

Right now, she’s working on patience, navigating some (very normal) rebellious moments, and learning healthy boundaries — including a whole lot of intense teething. This stage can be challenging, but it’s also such an important part of development.

At the same time, Myst is spending more and more time in the office, learning how to settle, observe, and simply be present. She’s already such a source of comfort and support, and we’re watching her instincts sharpen as she learns when to engage and when to rest. 🐶🤍

Growth isn’t always linear — for puppies or people — but every day she shows us just how capable she is. We’re so proud of her progress and excited to keep supporting her journey as a future therapy dog.

🧣 Friday Focus — “What Healing From Trauma Looks Like”

It’s not always about “feeling better” right away.
Signs you’re healing:

You pause instead of reacting
You name your needs
You feel less hijacked by the past
You notice when you're safe

Recovery is a journey back to your most authentic self.

💬 “What Does It Mean to Process Trauma?”
Trauma healing doesn’t mean reliving every painful moment. It often begins with:

Naming what still feels “stuck”
Learning how the body holds stress
Reclaiming your sense of control

In therapy, safety comes first. We go slow — and you’re never alone in the work.

🧠 Trauma 101 — “Trauma Isn’t Always What You Think”

Trauma doesn’t always come from a major event. It can come from:

Repeated invalidation
Unstable childhoods
Unsafe relationships
Medical or systemic experiences

If your nervous system is still “on edge” — you’re not broken. You’re protecting yourself.
Therapy helps shift from survival mode to safety.

🐾 Myst Monday Update! 🌿

Our sweet therapy dog-in-training, Myst, continues to grow in confidence and skill each week!

Over the past few days, she’s been spending more and more time at the office — exploring the halls, becoming familiar with the building, and charming everyone she passes. She’s learning that calm curiosity is a superpower 🧠💛

Myst has also developed two major loves: tennis balls and soccer! ⚽🎾 If it bounces or rolls, she’s all in. She enjoys her regular trips to Jacksonville Commons Park for playtime and practice, and we’ve added frequent strolls to local stores as part of her socialization and exposure training.

We’re so proud of her progress as she continues working on focus, desensitization, and readiness for therapy work in session spaces.
