👋🏾 “Hey y’all, it’s Keundra here at Obsidian Counseling.

It’s October — and you know what that means… 🥁 a new series!

This month, we’re diving into something I see all the time in therapy: cognitive distortions 🧠✨

These are those sneaky, automatic thought patterns that can make us see ourselves, others, and situations in ways that aren’t fully true. And let’s be honest — we all fall into them sometimes 👀

Every Wednesday, I’ll be breaking down a different cognitive distortion — what it is, how to spot it, and some practical ways to challenge it.

Then on Fridays, we’ll be spilling The Tea w/ Shelly the Skelly, where I’ll drop a reflection prompt so you can pause and check your own thinking.

So stick around, save the posts, and let’s grow together this month 🖤🦴🫖”

🌿 Confessions of a “Recovering” Crash-Out Queen 🌿

Confession: I once made spaghetti with ketchup + tomato sauce because the thought going to the grocery store again was going to send me into a spiral. 🍝🙃

At the time, I felt like the worst mom ever. But here’s what I know now:
👉 That wasn’t about spaghetti. That was about burnout.
When you’re stretched thin, even the simplest tasks (like one more errand) feel impossible.

💡 Burnout makes everyday parenting feel heavier than it should, and it’s more common than most of us admit.

✨ If you’ve ever had a “creative dinner” moment, know this: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to live in survival mode forever. 💙

When I’m chronically exhausted, the words ‘what’s for dinner’ feel like a personal attack.

📓 Exhaustion vs Burnout
Exhaustion (short-term):
• Tired after a long day
• Temporary rest helps
• Energy eventually returns
Burnout (chronic):
• Tired no matter what
• Rest doesn’t restore
• Leads to irritability, detachment, “crash-out” reactions

📓 Practical Permissions + Pivot
Practical Permission = Grace
👉 What you allow yourself to let go of in the moment.
• “I don’t have to cook a full meal tonight.”
• “It’s okay if bedtime isn’t perfect.”

Pivot = Shift
👉 The actual adjustment you make instead.
• “Cereal counts as dinner.” 🥣
• “Go to bed now, I will do the dishes tomorrow “

✨ Permission gives you relief.
Pivot gives you a plan.
Together, they protect your energy and your parenting connection.

Confessions of a “Recovering” Crash-Out Queen

It’s 7:45 AM. Purse on my shoulder. Already late. And then I get a text….
👉 “Mom…I forgot my Chromebook.”

Old me? Full crash-out mode: snappy words, raised voice, and guilt all around.
Recovering me? I’m learning to hit the 🛑 brake (calm my body) and shift ⚙️ gears (try a new response).

That’s what today’s Chalk Talk Wednesday is all about: building parental capacity.
Slide through to see how the Brake + Gear Shift can turn chaos into calm.
