Patience. Oh, this is a hard one at times. There are plenty of times when overlooking an offense is the best option. Extend some grace when needed. Maybe they are tired, hungry, or have had a terrible day. Take a deep breath, don’t take it personally. Walk away or just stay quiet. If a person consistently says or does hurtful things, that is different.

Do you need help improving your patience or knowing when to draw the line and stand up for yourself? Feel free to give us a call or make an appointment. You can go online at www.providencecounseling.org.

Is there something you need to acknowledge and celebrate? It can be something big, or something small you have been working on. Celebrating small steps as well as big steps are important. Notice what you or someone you care about is doing well and say something positive about it. Do you need help finding something good to acknowledge in your life?

To our fellow therapists, this says so well what we are all thinking and feeling. Our thoughts and prayers are with those closely impacted by this tragic loss.

Today, our mental health community grieves the tragic loss of Rebecca White, LMHC, who was killed Monday while serving her clients in Orlando.

Rebecca was doing what we all do every day - showing up to help those in pain, offering hope in dark moments, and creating space for healing. She was 44 years old. She was a licensed professional. She was one of us.

We didn’t know Rebecca personally, but we know her work. We know the courage it takes to sit across from suffering. We know the heart it requires to stay present with people in crisis. We know the calling that drives us to this sacred work, even when it comes with risks we don’t always talk about.

Our hearts break for Rebecca’s family, her colleagues, her clients who trusted her, and the brave client who tried to intervene and was also injured. We’re holding all of them in our prayers today.

To our fellow therapists: Please take a moment today to pause. To breathe. To acknowledge that what we do matters - and that sometimes, it costs more than it should.

Rebecca White’s life mattered. Her work mattered. Today, we honor her.

If you’re a therapist processing this tragedy, please reach out for support. You don’t have to carry this alone.

Rest in peace, Rebecca. 🕊️

Did you know that your children learn about themselves from you? It’s almost like you are a mirror for them. They look at you to learn who they are. They also listen. They listen to what you say. They play your words in their minds….for years to come. Even when you need to teach and train with discipline, choose your words wisely. Do you need help with your children? We have counselors trained especially to work with children and their families. To make an appointment, give us a call or go online at www.providencecounseling.org.
