Healing from trauma isn’t about “getting over it”—it’s about giving yourself permission to carry it differently. At Empower Mental Health and Wellness Clinic (EMHAWC), we see countless adults who have shouldered childhood wounds, coercive control, or unspoken pain for years, often without the tools to process them.

Why Trauma Stays With Us
Trauma rewires the brain, embedding survival responses that linger long after the threat passes. These aren’t flaws; they’re adaptive imprints from a time when protection was paramount. For adults, especially those navigating family law battles or relational betrayal, this unhealed weight shows up as anxiety, hypervigilance, or self-doubt—echoes demanding acknowledgment, not erasure.

Creating Space to Heal
Healing means reclaiming your narrative, one compassionate step at a time.

You deserve a sanctuary to unpack these layers without judgment. EMHAWC offers psychiatry and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults.

LSSU banished “6-7,” “cooked,” and “massive.” All good choices but I’m disappointed “low-key” wasn’t banished. What word did you want to see on the list?

Language is important. It helps us communicate, connect and understand one another and ourselves, but it can also trap us into how we think about ourselves and constrain our actions. For example, if you think of yourself as the responsible one, does that make it harder to be spontaneous and dance? Does it make you less likely to take a vacation?

What are the words that trap you and interfere with you living life to the fullest?

At Empower MHAWC, our mental health experts guide you to spot labels, observe thoughts and free yourself from constraints.

Imagine ditching those traps: spontaneous road trips with loved ones, laughing till your sides ache at improv nights, skiing fresh powder guilt-free, or simply saying “yes” to joy.

You deserve to break free from trapping words—to dances spontaneously, to take vacations without guilt, to laugh with friends until your sides ache, and to experience boundless joy.

The wordsmiths at Lake Superior State University have released LSSU's newest annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness.

Every year, Lake Superior State University releases its Banished Words List, calling out phrases like “game changer,” “era,” “100%,” and “utilize”—words that get used so often they lose their meaning. They sound impressive, but they don’t actually help us change anything.
As we step into a new year, that reminder matters.

A lot of people aren’t “old,” but they don’t feel like themselves either. The calendar flips, but energy doesn’t automatically return, clarity doesn’t instantly sharpen, and strength doesn’t rebuild on its own.

At Empower, we believe real progress doesn’t come from hype or buzzwords. It comes from supporting the mental, cognitive, and physical changes that come with life’s stressors and time passigg—so your body can better match the life you still want to live.

Maybe the most important thing to banish this year isn’t just a word.
Maybe it’s the idea that feeling worn down is something you have to accept.

Here’s to stepping into the new year healthier, stronger, and more vibrant—for the long run.

Jan 1, 2026, am hoping that “67”is banished. what words are you hoping will be banished?
