Gaslighting can be a manipulative form of communication. Instead of being accountable for their own behaviors or words, someone might try to place the blame on the other person. There are more effective ways of responding to show care and accountability. If this becomes a problem in your relationship, it might be a great thing to work on in couples' therapy.

Feel that tension in your shoulders? What are those negative thoughts and emotions you are holding on to?
Let it go... Breathe deep and visualize it lifting off into the air... Find the helpful, positive thoughts to focus on instead.

Hold on to what matters.

Adolescents do not always show depression and anxiety symptoms in the same way adults do. Look out for constant tiredness, lack of motivation, heightened irritability, and apathy. We can't punish them out of these moods. Check in with them frequently to encourage self awareness and communication about what they need.

It's also normal that they might not want to talk to their parents about much.
We got you!
We have males and females who are awesome at connecting with these teens.

Therapy can look different for children and we are ready for it! If you are bringing your child to therapy, a few things to keep in mind:

- It's ok if they are shy or quiet 🦋
- Session times can vary depending on their attention level
- If we want you involved, it's not because we think you are a bad parent, it's for support and continuity of care 💛
- Play has a purpose. They are expressing. We are watching. They are learning. We are reflecting. They are processing. We are assessing. It's all intentional, not dismissive.
- And for teens or even adults ... believe me, everyone loves a good basket of fidgets! That can be soothing to our brain as we talk through the heavy things.

OK mammas, cute pictures....but how are you really doing? Ready to clean that house? Focus on work? Enjoying lunch with friends today? Some of us might be terrified for our kids starting a new school year. It's wonderful when they can have clean shoes, fresh supplies and a clean slate in classes. But it can come with a lot of anxiety of the unknown and all that's to come in the next 9 months. Don't be afraid to say it feels heavy. You're probably not alone in that. We got this.
