I think it’s amazing that God designed our bodies with amazing ways to cope with strong emotions, and/or regulate a bodily stress response. The distance between mental chaos and peace is often shorter than we realize.

Stepping outside, taking a shower, eating a snack, doing some quick exercises…these are all ways we can bridge the gap between chaos and calm.

Quote from the book, Signals by Cherilyn Orr

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Choose your hard?”

Relationships are hard, but isolation is far worse. We were built for community and to live in close relationships with others. To know and be known. It is uncomfortable at times and always costs you something. Everything of value has a price. In most cases, it is worth it.

Isolation, however, costs you everything and leaves you with nothing in return.

We have to keep choosing each other in a culture that wants to cancel everyone and build higher fences. ❤️

The book “Relationships: A Mess Worth Making” by Paul David Tripp and Timothy Lane is an excellent resource that dives deeper into the nuts and bolts of making relationships work.

Many things in life are difficult, but good. Wrong belief robs the goodness from the difficulty.

Connection shouldn’t be something a child has to earn.
It’s how they learn to feel safe, regulate, and grow.
When we lead with warmth and presence—even during tricky behaviours—we’re guiding them from the inside out. 💛

Genuine love for others requires humility, gentleness, patience, and an ongoing “bearing with.” Only God Himself can endow us with such a love for others.

Your everyday communication influences the shape, quality and direction of your relationships. - from Relationships: A Mess Worth Making

The best relationships are built on good communication. Good communication is kind, honest, clear, direct and respects the dignity of others.

If we’re honest with ourselves, most of us could benefit from developing our communication skills. Thankfully, like any other skill, good communication can be learned, strengthened, and improved upon.

We can help! Our mental health professionals work with individuals and couples to strengthen communication and improve the quality of relationships. Reach out to us to through www.healinghandschristiancounseling.com or call 701-952-5566 for more information!
