🕯️ August 30 is National Grief Awareness Day 🕯️

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t look one way. And it doesn’t mean you’re broken. Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or even a version of yourself—grief is a natural and valid emotional response.

💬 Let’s change the conversation around grief. Instead of hiding it, let’s give it space. You’re not alone in your pain. You deserve support.

➡️ If you’re grieving, consider reaching out to us at LiveWell Psychology.
➡️ If someone you know is grieving, reach out and ask, “What does support look like for you today?”

💛 Let’s build a world where talking about grief is not taboo—it's part of healing.

🌿⛳️ I’m honored to share that I’ll be participating in the upcoming Healing Pines Golf Classic— an event dedicated to supporting women with cancer.

As a psychologist and a cancer survivor, this cause holds a very special place in my heart. I’ve witnessed — both personally and professionally — the courage it takes to walk through a diagnosis, the power of community, and the healing that comes when we show up for one another.

This tournament isn’t just about golf — it’s about hope, resilience, and making sure women facing cancer know they are not alone. 💜
I’m grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside others who believe in the same mission. Here’s to a day filled with purpose, compassion, and connection — on and off the course. 🏌️‍♀️🌸 Healing Pines Respite

For many BIPOC individuals, therapy with someone who shares their racial or cultural background can offer relief, safety, and affirmation.

As a non-BIPOC provider, I know I can’t offer lived experience — but I can:

🔹 Practice cultural humility
🔹 Validate experiences of racism and oppression
🔹 Refer to BIPOC therapists, when preferred
🔹 Continuously and consciously unlearn biases

Representation matters. And so does reflection.

🌱 SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL MILESTONES MATTER TOO

We often celebrate a child’s first steps or first words — and those are exciting!

But equally important (and often overlooked) are the social-emotional milestones:

💛 Learning to name emotions
💬 Practicing empathy
🌀 Managing frustration
🤝 Building connection

These skills may not come with a photo-worthy “first,” but they are the foundation of lifelong mental health, resilience, and healthy relationships.

Just like walking and talking, they need time, support, and nurturing environments to grow.

👥 If you’re wondering whether your child’s emotional development is on track — or if they need support building these skills — we’re here to help.
📞 Reach out to LiveWell Psychology, Dr. Jessica Tomasula is a caring professional who understands childhood from the inside out.

Across tantrums, tears, emotional wins, and confusing regressions — one truth remains:

Children are always learning.
Not just their ABCs, but how to be in the world. How to feel hard things. How to be close.
How to calm down — and come back.

And you, as their caregiver, are growing too.

You’re learning to pause before reacting. To choose connection over correction. To stay steady when things feel messy. That is the work.

💛 If you’ve been following along with us lately, thank you for being here. Every small step you take toward understanding your child — and yourself — matters more than you know.

If you’re feeling the weight of it all or simply want to explore new ways to support your child emotionally — we’re here when you’re ready.
