You finally got the time off. But instead of relaxing… you feel anxious, restless, or even more stressed than usual. ⁠
⁠
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. For many of us, especially those who’ve spent years in go-mode, rest doesn’t register as safety. It registers as discomfort.⁠
⁠
When your nervous system is used to coping, slowing down can feel unnatural, even threatening.⁠

You’re not imagining it. Rest can feel unfamiliar, even stressful, when your nervous system is used to being “on.”
⁠
If you feel edgy during downtime, guilty for doing nothing, or irritable when things are finally calm - this is for you.
⁠
These are often signs your body is still in survival mode, even when there’s no threat. It doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve learned to stay alert.
⁠
You’re allowed to slow down. You don’t have to earn rest.
⁠

For many of us, rest doesn’t come easy. It brings guilt, discomfort, or the sense we’re “wasting time.”
⁠
But here’s the truth: real rest isn’t lazy. It’s essential and it often takes unlearning years of survival mode.
⁠
Therapy can help you build a new relationship with rest. One that isn’t based on proving, performing, or earning stillness.

We often associate grief with death, but it shows up in many places:
– A career shift
– Moving away
– A baby being born
– Growing out of a version of yourself

These moments come with excitement and pride…
And also loss.

It’s okay to feel both.

Maybe you finally left the job that was burning you out.
Maybe you just had a baby or moved in with someone you love.
Maybe you're stepping into the life you always hoped for.

And yet, there’s grief.

These mixed emotions are valid. Life transitions can bring relief and loss at the same time. Joy doesn’t erase grief and grief doesn’t mean you’re not happy.

Honor the complexity. You’re not broken. You’re just feeling it all.

If this resonates, read our recent blog on navigating grief and joy after change.

After betrayal, it’s common to feel disoriented and emotionally out of control.
You might cycle between rage and longing… intrusive thoughts and emotional numbness… panic and shame.

This is your body trying to make sense of something deeply destabilizing.
And no, you're not overreacting.

In her recent powerful blog, Root to Rise therapist Kalie Pham, LMFT, explains how betrayal trauma can mimic symptoms of PTSD. Impacting your ability to sleep, concentrate, eat, or even trust your own judgment. When a partner violates emotional and relational safety, the trauma affects your entire system.

Kalie breaks down the emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms of betrayal trauma and reminds readers:
💬 Your feelings are valid.
💬 Your healing is allowed to take time.
💬 You deserve support, not shame.

If you’re in the thick of it, this post is a gentle place to begin.

Betrayal trauma has a way of shaking your entire sense of reality.

You might find yourself obsessively replaying memories, wondering what was true and what wasn’t, asking questions like:
“Was I not enough? Did they ever really love me? How did I not see it?”

This is the psychological aftermath of betrayal. It’s not “just heartbreak.” It’s a rupture in trust, safety, and emotional stability that can send the nervous system into a tailspin.

In her recent blog, Kalie Pham writes directly to the betrayed partner—offering validation, clarity, and calm. She breaks down the very real symptoms of betrayal trauma, how they show up in both the mind and body, and why the healing process can feel so overwhelming.

If you’ve experienced betrayal, this blog might feel like someone finally put your feelings into words.

August invites us to pause, soften, and slowly come back to ourselves. 🌿

After a season of movement, being “on”, and pouring outward—it’s okay to pull some energy back in. This month’s journaling theme is Return to Self… because tending to your inner world is just as important as showing up for everything else.

Inside this month’s prompts, you’ll find space to explore what you’re ready to release, what grounds you, and what it means to feel more like you again.

🖊️ Save this for your next quiet moment. Your return doesn’t have to be dramatic, it just has to be yours.
