Joan Didion once said, ‘Grief changes shape, but it never ends.’ Time does not erase the pain of losing a loved one or enduring traumatic events. I continue to offer free trauma therapy for victims of the Central Texas flood. Though it has only been two short months, the initial shock may have begun to fade, and for many, the deeper process of grief and healing is just beginning. Please know you do not have to walk through this alone.

In response, I’m offering a limited number of free trauma-focused therapy sessions for:
• Survivors of the flood
• Witnesses of the event
• Immediate family members of victims
• First responders and frontline workers

🔹 Up to 8 free sessions per person
🔹 Available to any age group
🔹 Sessions can be in-person in Southlake, Texas, or virtual anywhere in Texas
🔹 To be used within one calendar year

As a trauma specialist, this is my way of giving back to a community that means so much to me. If you or someone you love has been impacted, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Men’s Mental Health Matters 🧠

To every man out there:
You don’t have to always be strong.
You don’t have to keep it all inside.
You don’t have to “power through it.”

Struggling doesn’t make you weak.
Talking about what you’re going through doesn’t make you less of a man.
It makes you human. It makes you brave.

Mental health is just as important as physical health — and help is out there. Whether it’s a friend, a therapist, a support group, or a hotline, you’re never alone.

💬 It’s okay to say, “I’m not okay.”
💙 You matter. Your story matters. Your life matters.

Let’s break the silence. Let’s support each other.

Hi there! I’m Ravin Medina, Founder and Therapist at Fayebird Counseling, PLLC. My office is conveniently located across from Carroll Senior High School in Southlake, TX, where I see clients both in person and virtually.

I accept a range of insurance plans and also offer a competitive private pay rate. With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I’m passionate about supporting teens, young adults, mothers, and first responders. My areas of focus include trauma, behavioral concerns, crisis support, life transitions, and relationship skills.

My therapeutic approach is solution-focused and grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be a lifelong commitment—my goal is to help you build effective coping skills, process past experiences, and move forward with confidence.

I currently have immediate daytime openings and would be honored to support you or a loved one on the journey toward healing and growth.

Grief is a difficult journey. Everyone has different expectations and experiences, and your grief will not be the same as someone else’s. Be kind and allow yourself to process your losses, despite how “important” the world may deem them. You are the only one who can allow yourself to emerge out of the darkness stronger 🔆

Have you ever wondered why the ✈️ safety demonstrations say to put YOUR mask on first, and then help your children or others near you? You have to take care of you before you can successfully help others, this includes your mental health. The therapy journey can be a scary one, but it is imperative for you to prioritize yourself and rediscover what makes you uniquely you 👉🏼 Whether you are unsure where to find a therapist, what a therapist actually does or feel like therapy is not helpful, please reach out to me and allow me to provide additional insight! 💬💬

What an amazing and accurate analogy 😮

This post was found on The Jar of Salt FB page and was shared with me by my daughter. She thought it would be a good post for this group.

ORIGINAL POST:
I came across a video on BBC yesterday about an illustration of grief, how it truly changes over time and, in reality, always stays a part of us. My interpretation of that analogy and how I visualise it is like this: imagine that you are this bookshelf and grief were this thick, heavy and permanent book sitting in it.

Over time, that book doesn’t change in shape or size. It just stays there and becomes a part of you. As the days and years pass, your library grows around it as everything added to the shelf becomes another chapter and dimension in your life. The grief, even if you choose to gloss over it, is an indelible presence juxtaposed with the growing collection of things.

The spine might fade in the sunlight, yellowing pages will fall out, and its cover will definitely gather dust, but our grief is a book whose pages we can flip through and go back to when we feel compelled to. Without changing in weight, significance or meaning, it shall always and simply be another facet of our existence and one of many stories in our constantly changing life. ✍🏻
