Emotions can escalate quickly.
Most of us were never actually taught what to do with that.

Our DBT Skills Group focuses on practical tools for:
• distress tolerance
• emotional regulation
• mindfulness

This is a skills-based group—less talking about problems, more learning what to do in the moment.

NEW CYCLE BEGINNING APRIL 7TH
Tuesdays | Virtual | 6:30–7:30pm
$20 per session

In this clip, one of our clinical interns, Ren, breaks down a common misconception about boundaries. Boundaries aren’t instructions for how we want others to act. They’re commitments to how we will show up, what we will allow, and what we will do to protect our own capacity. They’re about our choices, not other people’s compliance.

Are you looking for an intentional practice this spring to ground yourself in the healing aspects of nature? We encourage you to check out our new Eco-Therapy Group where our clinical therapist Chelsi guides you through a somatically-oriented nature experience.

This will be held on Sundays at 10:30am, beginning on February 15th. It will be $30 per person and last approximately 60 - 90 minutes, where we will hike the Old Roadway Loop at Percy Warner Park. The trail is just under 3 miles and is a moderate paved trail hike with some pretty steep hills. This is an all ages group therapy offering. RSVP to chelsi@nashvillectp.com in order to complete the informed consent paperwork and attend.

Not all boundaries look the same. Many of our boundary styles were shaped by what kept us safe growing up. Now, they impact the way we relate to others and to ourself. Understanding your style is the first step toward creating boundaries that actually support your nervous system and the relational outcomes you hope for.

We all move in and out of our window of tolerance. Our window of tolerance is the space where we feel balanced, grounded, and able to handle life’s ups and downs. When we’re inside it, we can think clearly and respond instead of react.

Stress, trauma, or overwhelm can push us outside that window. Sometimes we go into hyperarousal where we start feeling anxious, restless, or on edge. Other times, we slip into hypoarousal, which is feeling numb, shut down, or disconnected.

The goal isn’t to stay calm all the time. It’s to notice when we’ve drifted out of our window and use tools that help us return to a sense of safety. Deep breathing, grounding, movement, connection, and bilateral stimulation all help bring us back.

Curious to learn more about your own window of tolerance? Our team of therapists would be honored to walk with you as you discern your nervous system's needs and limits.

Valentine’s Day is a lovely reminder to celebrate connection, and John and Julie Gottman’s research shows us what helps that connection last. These four practices are real ways couples strengthen their bond over time.

If you’re wanting to explore relational skills more deeply, the Gottman Institute offers wonderful resources, and some of our Gottman‑trained therapists would be honored to walk alongside you!

Every day, this room holds conversations that change people’s lives. This is just one example of our office space that is built for growth, reflection, and connection. It serves as a reminder that healing doesn’t have to happen alone. We’re honored to offer a warm, inviting place for healing to take place.

Bilateral stimulation is one of those deceptively simple tools that can make a meaningful difference for a dysregulated nervous system. By engaging the brain in a left–right rhythm, we create conditions that support grounding, reduce physiological arousal, and increase access to the parts of the brain that help us think and stay present.

For many people, this kind of structured, alternating input helps them move out of threat mode and into a more regulated state where processing feels possible. It’s not about “fixing” anything; it’s about giving the nervous system what it needs to re‑orient and settle.

When used within a trauma‑informed framework, bilateral stimulation becomes one more way to support safety, integration, and steadying the system. Want to learn more about trauma therapy?
