Dr. Georgina Smith expounds on Dr. Gretchen Schmelzer's concept of rethinking adulthood. What if we started thinking about adulthood as fixed ropes to climb with, and less as a destination you must arrive at one day?o

When adulthood is the destination, we forget we still need a village. We forget it's okay to have needs, that it's okay to not have it all together, that we can be changing and that our brain is very adaptable for that...

The more we can see adulthood, as Dr. Schmelzer said, as that place to climb and to not see that place as a destination as much as an ongoing experience where we can learn, evolve, have grace, and be connected.

It's a journey. We're all on the journey together and there's no destination, right? If we can see this as an ongoing adventure that the kid in us doesn't have to stop playing.

Sophie Pflaster, Program & Admissions Director, shares how it feels coming to work every day, and how the essence of that feeling is exactly what sets Revolve Recovery apart.

Steering into the skid isn’t just a driving lesson, it’s a profound metaphor for healing.

When life throws us into an emotional skid, anxiety, a trigger, a wave of grief, our instinct is to fight it. We jerk the wheel, overcorrect, and often end up feeling more out of control.

But what if we learned to lean in?

To steer into the discomfort with curiosity instead of fear? This isn't about forcing yourself into harm's way. It’s about building the muscle to stay present, to understand the message of the emotion, and to respond from a place of choice rather than react from a place of panic.

Healing isn’t about avoiding the skids. It’s about learning to navigate them, finding your traction, and discovering a state of flow on the other side.

We help you build that resilience.

What's one small "skid" you can practice leaning into this week?

We’ve all heard it in driving school: if your car starts to fishtail on a slippery road, don’t jerk the wheel away from the slide. Instead, steer into the skid.

In IFS, even resentment has a role. It often protects us from the vulnerability of old wounds, shielding us from vulnerability rooted in trauma.

With compassion and curiosity, we can uncover the deeper needs beneath it. Opening the door to healing, regulation, and connection.

🎗️ September is Recovery Month 🎗️ Every September, we honor the strength, resilience, and hope of those on the journey of recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. Recovery is not just possible, it’s real, and it’s happening every day in our communities.

💜 This month, we celebrate:

The individuals who’ve reclaimed their lives

The families who’ve stood by them

The professionals and peers who offer support and guidance

The power of community in healing

And those who we lost, but who still leave hope behind

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s amplify the voices of recovery. Let’s remind everyone: Recovery is for everyone. Every person. Every family. Every community.

📣 Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply want to be part of the solution—your voice matters. Share your story. Offer encouragement. Be the light someone needs.

Trauma leaves imprints that shape the patterns we live, the relationships we form, and the protective parts we carry.

Parts work (IFS) helps us recognize these patterns and parts, and reconnect with the Core Self… calm, grounded, and authentic.

TEIM™ supports this process through relational, trauma-focused care.
