This grounding tool may look simple, but there’s powerful science behind it.

Naming what you’re feeling increases awareness and helps shift your brain out of survival mode.
Validation reduces shame and reminds your nervous system that you’re safe — nothing is “wrong” with you.
Regulation brings the body back into balance so you can respond, not react.

When you move through Name. Validate. Regulate., you’re not bypassing emotions — you’re meeting them with curiosity and care.

✨ Reflection:
What happens when you meet your feelings with compassion instead of judgment?

This is a practice, not a performance. And support can make it easier.

Small, sustainable goals are often where the most meaningful change begins.

When goals are too big or rigid, they can quickly lead to pressure, guilt, or burnout. At Cedarhurst Counseling, we encourage a gentler approach — one that focuses on realistic steps you can return to, even on hard days.

Sustainable goals help build confidence over time. Each small win creates momentum, reinforcing the belief that progress is possible without perfection. Growth doesn’t have to be dramatic to be real.

If you’re setting intentions this season, consider shifting the focus away from “doing more” and toward doing what feels manageable right now.

What change feels realistic for you right now?

What small win today deserves to be acknowledged?

So often, we move through our days focused on what still needs to be done or what didn’t go as planned. In the process, we miss the quiet moments of progress happening right in front of us.

A small win might look like:
• Getting out of bed on a hard day
• Taking a breath instead of reacting
• Asking for help
• Showing up, even when it felt uncomfortable

At Cedarhurst Counseling, we believe growth is built in these moments. Small wins matter — not because they’re small, but because they’re real.

Before the day ends, take a moment to notice one thing you did that moved you forward, even just a little.

You don’t have to do everything.
You’re already doing something.

Therapist Spotlight: Scott Andersen, LAC

When he’s not working with clients, Scott enjoys binge-watching Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the Marvel series, making Muddy Buddies with extra peanut butter, and spending as much time outdoors as possible while he continues to adjust to Arizona winters.

Scott is a Licensed Associate Counselor and a graduate of Liberty University’s Counseling Program. With a background in both business and the military, he brings a grounded, practical approach to therapy. He specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy, supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Drawing from his own military experience, Scott is especially passionate about working with service members, veterans, and their families, offering care that honors the unique realities of military life. Married to his high school sweetheart for over 25 years and a proud father of two, Scott places a strong value on family and connection.

If you’re looking for a therapist who offers steady support, practical tools, and a deep understanding of life’s complexities, Scott would be honored to work with you.

5 Days Until Christmas – Release

As the holidays approach, many of us carry quiet pressure—
to show up a certain way, to meet expectations, to make everything feel meaningful or “just right.”

Today’s reminder is simple: you don’t have to carry all of that.

This season often brings joy and stress, connection and exhaustion. Releasing doesn’t mean giving up—it means allowing yourself to soften where you can.

Maybe release:
• the expectation to please everyone
• the pressure to keep traditions perfect
• the idea that your emotions need to look a certain way
• the belief that rest must be earned

Therapy teaches us that healing often begins with letting go—of unrealistic expectations, of self-criticism, of the stories that say we’re not doing enough.

Mantra: I can let go of what no longer serves me.

As you move through today, notice one thing you can set down—even briefly—and give yourself permission to breathe a little deeper.

If you recognize these signs, you’re not alone — these responses are your body’s way of trying to keep you safe.

Relationships can be beautiful, but they’re not always easy.

Conflict, disconnection, or communication breakdowns can leave you feeling distant from the one you love most.

Couples therapy is a space to reconnect, rebuild trust, and learn to communicate with empathy.

You deserve a relationship that feels secure, loving, and supported.
