Root Cause Wellness

Root Cause Wellness Healing is a journey, not a race. During the session, the counselor will encourage the client to talk about their feelings and thoughts.

We provide a safe session where the counselor provides a non-judgmental and supportive environment for the client to discuss their concerns and problems. The session will prioritize the client's emotional and mental well-being and aim to help them identify and address the root cause of their issues. The counselor will also provide feedback, helping the client identify their strengths and coping skills. When it comes to discussing solutions and behaviors, the counselor will work collaboratively with the client to develop a plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. This plan will be realistic, achievable, and tailored to the client's unique situation. The counselor will also encourage the client to take small steps towards achieving their goals and celebrating their progress along the way. Identifying root cause issues is a crucial part of the counseling process. The counselor will ask open-ended questions to help the client explore their past experiences, relationships, and thought patterns. By doing so, the counselor can help the client identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to their current problems. In addition to identifying root causes, the counselor will also help the client develop strategies for addressing these issues. This may involve exploring different coping mechanisms, developing new habits and routines, or seeking additional support from other professionals or resources. Overall, this counseling session will prioritize the client's emotional and mental well-being, while working collaboratively with the client to identify root cause issues and develop realistic and achievable solutions and behaviors.

Research shows that when children ask to be carried, even though their legs can walk, it’s not laziness. It’s longing.

They’re not incapable.
They’re reaching for closeness.

Because here’s the truth:
A child can run around the playground for hours.
They can climb stairs, chase friends, and jump without hesitation. But suddenly, with mom or dad nearby, they raise their arms and plead, “Carry me.” And in that moment, it’s not their legs that are tired. It’s their heart that needs holding.

Why?
Because physical closeness is emotional fuel.

🧠 Attachment research shows that touch, holding, and closeness regulate a child’s nervous system, lowering cortisol and strengthening their sense of security (Feldman, 2010). Being carried tells them, 'You are safe.' You belong. You don’t have to do life all alone.

Why does this matter?

Because when we don’t understand it, we believe the lie: They’re spoiled. They’re manipulating. They should be independent by now.

But science is whispering: Independence grows out of secure dependence first.

Here’s what supporting that can look like:
→ Offering to carry them when you can, without shaming.
→ Meeting their need for connection through cuddles, hugs, and presence.
→ Remembering that “carry me” today becomes the inner voice of “I can carry myself” tomorrow.

The truth is, children don’t ask to be carried forever. But they will never forget how it felt to be held.

So maybe the question isn’t,
“Why can’t they just walk?”
Maybe it’s,
“What if their raised arms are really saying, ‘Hold me close so I can keep going?’”

Because the world doesn’t just need kids who walk strongly, it requires kids who know the strength of love that carried them first. 🤍
