Holiday Depression Is Real

The holidays aren’t easy for everyone.

For some people, this time of year can bring up grief, stress, loneliness, or just a sense of pressure to feel happy when you don’t.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Truly.

A few gentle reminders:
✨ The “perfect holiday” doesn’t exist.
✨ It’s okay to set boundaries or say no.
✨ You can miss people and still find small moments of joy.
✨ Keep your routines — sleep, food, movement — they matter.
✨ And please, reach out if you’re struggling. You don’t have to handle it alone.

Be gentle with yourself this season. You’re doing better than you think. 💛

OCD is more than being “organized” or “a little picky.” It’s living with intrusive, unwanted thoughts and feeling the urge to perform rituals to quiet the anxiety.

✨ Tips for Supporting Yourself or a Loved One with OCD:

- Language matters – Avoid saying “I’m so OCD” when you mean “I like things tidy.” It minimizes a real struggle.
- Pause, don’t reassure – Offering reassurance (“It’s fine, don’t worry”) might actually reinforce OCD cycles. Instead, listen with empathy.
- Learn the facts – OCD affects people of all ages, and effective treatments like ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention) therapy exist.
- Encourage professional support – Therapy can be life-changing; resources are out there.
- Practice compassion – Whether for yourself or others, kindness goes a long way.

This week, let’s replace stigma with understanding and support.

It’s OCD Awareness Week!

October 13-19 is OCD Awareness Week — a time to lift up voices, share truths, and break the stigma surrounding obsessive-compulsive disorder.

OCD is more than “being neat” — it involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) people feel pushed to perform to ease distress.

Many people live with OCD without recognizing it, or dismiss it because of misconceptions.
Stigma and misunderstanding can delay or prevent people from seeking help.

At Mosaic Counseling, we have providers who specialize in using ERP to treat OCD as well as mental health nurse practitioners (with immediate availability!) for medication management.

Reach out to us today to see if one of our providers might be a good fit for you!

The numbers may surprise you—millions of adults and adolescents in the U.S. experience a major depressive episode each year. These statistics from the National Institute of Mental Health remind us that depression is far more common than many realize.

Behind every number is a person, a story, and a struggle that deserves compassion and support. Depression is real, it’s serious, and it’s treatable.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Reach out today, and we’ll help match you with a therapist who understands.

Today’s workshop with Megan Devine was such an important reminder: working with people in pain often means carrying grief of our own.

In a time of multiple mental health crises, provider shortages, and blurred professional boundaries, so many therapists are feeling overwhelmed and under-supported. Megan’s session named this reality—and offered practical ways to care for ourselves so we can continue caring for others.

✨ Key takeaways:
- Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re tools that protect both therapist and client in real time.
- Systemic issues in our workplaces and communities often fuel overwhelm—naming them helps us navigate them.
- Building a strong support system outside the therapy room is essential for managing the grief that arises from our work.
- Empathy is powerful, but without boundaries it can leave us depleted. Tempering self-disclosure and staying grounded helps us remain attuned without being consumed.

This was a deeply validating session—a reminder that caring for ourselves is not selfish, but necessary to show up authentically and sustainably for the people we serve.

This morning’s keynote with Dr. Thema Bryant was a powerful reminder that trauma recovery cannot be separated from culture, community, and context.

So often, therapy models focus narrowly on treating traumatic events. But as Dr. Bryant shared, healing is most transformative when it’s also culturally grounded and liberation-focused.

✨ Key takeaways from her keynote:
- Liberation psychology gives survivors back their sense of agency—healing is not only personal, but also sociopolitical.
- Culture itself can be medicine, through community support, spirituality, expressive arts, and even resistance.
- Marginalized survivors need models of care that don’t erase their identity, but honor it as central to recovery.
- Practical tools exist to integrate liberation psychology with traditional trauma therapy, bridging both worlds for deeper restoration.

This was a call to action: to see clients not just as individuals navigating symptoms, but as whole people whose healing is strengthened by community, culture, and connection.

This afternoon’s workshop took us deep into the intersection of developmental trauma, embodiment, and movement-based healing.

Drawing from Body-Mind Centering (BMC), pioneered by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, we explored how our earliest relational experiences shape not just our nervous system, but also our movement patterns and emotional landscape.

✨ Key takeaways:
- Developmental trauma lives in both sensation and movement, influencing how we regulate emotions and connect with others.
- Early motor patterns (like how we crawled, reached, or held ourselves) lay the groundwork for resilience—or highlight areas of vulnerability.
- Movement-based and somatic interventions can help bridge developmental gaps, restore regulation, and reconnect us with the body’s innate capacity for healing.

Breath, sensation, and mindful movement aren’t “add-ons”—they are powerful gateways into integration and recovery.

This was a reminder that the body doesn’t just hold trauma—it also holds the wisdom for healing, if we know how to listen.

This morning’s workshop was such a powerful reminder that true trauma healing requires both the body and the mind.

So often, therapy focuses on one or the other—but today we explored what happens when Somatic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) come together. The result? A holistic and embodied approach that helps clients not only reframe their thoughts, but also release what’s stored in the body.

✨ Key takeaways:
- Trauma impacts both cognition and the nervous system—healing must address both.
- Pairing body-based awareness with cognitive restructuring creates deeper and more sustainable transformation.
- Guided practices with movement, breathwork, and thought reframing can help shift clients from dysregulation (fight/flight/freeze) into resilience.

When we learn to identify and shift automatic thought-body patterns, we open the door to healing on every level.

My biggest takeaway: trauma recovery isn’t just about changing the way we think—it’s also about reconnecting with the wisdom of the body to move forward with resilience.

This morning at the Innovations in Psychotherapy conference, I had the chance to hear Drs. John & Julie Gottman share their research on one of the hardest topics in relationships: healing after an affair.

Whether emotional or physical, betrayal can feel like the end of trust and connection. The pain, confusion, and uncertainty can be overwhelming. But here’s what I was reminded of today: healing is possible.

The Gottmans’ research shows that with the right support, couples can:
✨ Work through the pain of betrayal in a safe and structured way
✨ Rebuild trust step by step
✨ Grow closer and more resilient than before

One message that really stood out: trust and connection are the heart of every healthy relationship. When those are broken, it can feel devastating—but when they are rebuilt, couples often find themselves even stronger and more connected than before.

Every relationship is different, and healing takes time—but infidelity doesn’t have to be the end of the story. With evidence-based support and intentional work, it can be the beginning of a new chapter.
