For anyone who worries about what others really mean — this is a reminder that some relationships are safe. Some people speak with honesty. And you’re allowed to trust the ones who show you they care.

When They Say Yes 💙

I ask, “Are you sure?”
though you’ve already said yes—
not because I doubt you,
but because I fear the space
between your words.

Insecurity whispers
that kindness can hide truth,
that people protect feelings
they don’t speak aloud.

But your yes is yours,
not a code I must solve,
not a burden I must carry.

So I breathe,
and choose to believe you—
and when trust finally settles in,
quiet finally finds a place to land.

The Power of Building Your Own Family and Memories

As Thanksgiving approaches, many of us are reminded that family isn’t defined only by blood, but by the people who show up, grow with us, and love us through every season. There is a quiet magic in creating your own circle—whether it’s with relatives, lifelong friends, or new connections who feel like home.

Making memories with the people we love becomes the heartbeat of our lives. It’s in the shared meals, the inside jokes, the late-night talks, and the traditions we create—some passed down, others brand new. These moments become our history, our comfort, and the stories we carry forward.

This Thanksgiving, may we honor our experiences—both the gentle and the complicated—and make space for the family we are choosing and building today. Here’s to warm tables, full hearts, and memories that last a lifetime. May this season hold room for your story—unchanged or evolving—and the relationships that support your well-being.

The Quiet Work of Self-Awareness 💙

Sometimes the answer is there, quietly waiting in the corners of our awareness, but we move past it as if it were invisible. Not because it lacks clarity, but because seeing it would require us to confront something we’re not yet ready to face.

Looking inward can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory. It asks us to pause, to listen, to sit with thoughts and emotions we’ve avoided. So we protect ourselves from the “unseen answer,” as if not acknowledging it could keep it from being true. We build distractions, explanations, and routines around the very things we’re trying not to notice.

But life has a way of removing the blinders for us. A moment—sometimes gentle, sometimes jarring—brings everything into focus. The truth we pushed aside steps into the light, no longer content to be ignored.

And in that moment, even if it’s uncomfortable or overwhelming, there’s an opportunity for clarity.
For growth.
For finally seeing what was there all along.

Cindy Dehne
Resident in Counseling, M.Ed.-LMHP-R

I obtained a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William & Mary.

I am client-centered and committed to helping clients achieve their goals. I am a U.S. Army veteran and served in both the Army Active and Reserve Components.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages who are navigating daily challenges and life transitions and the military and veteran community. As a military veteran, I am familiar with the unique challenges that the military, veterans, and their families face.

I am dedicated to helping people change their lives, heal previous trauma, and navigate barriers preventing them from achieving their goals. My goal is to empower clients through a strengths-based, person-centered approach.

I also possess experience helping clients navigate grief, depression, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and I have experience implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I will tailor interventions based on your unique needs, issues, and goals.

I am currently seeing clients via telehealth. I am under the supervision of Wayne Powell, LPC.

🌿 The Weight of Perfect

Perfection wears a smile.
It wakes early, stands tall, and never spills its coffee. It hides the shaking hands beneath the table.

It whispers, “If you do everything right, they’ll stay. You’ll finally be enough.”

But perfection is a cage —
gold-plated, quiet, lonely.

You polish every corner of yourself
until there’s no room left for warmth.
No room for laughter that cracks wide open,
for tears that come without permission.

Being perfect looks beautiful from far away,
but up close it costs everything:
sleep, peace, joy, self.

So let the edges show.
Let the line break.
Let the mess live.

Because the world doesn’t fall in love
with perfect people —
it falls in love with the ones
who are real.

✨ What would happen if you stopped trying to be perfect — and started allowing yourself to be seen?

🌿 The Quiet Return

There are hurts that never said goodbye.
They live quietly beneath the surface —
in the pauses of conversation, in the way your chest tightens at certain memories.

Trauma leaves fingerprints on everything —
the way you love, the way you protect yourself,
the way you sometimes flinch at softness.
It teaches you to stay alert, even when you’re safe. It changes how you move through the world.

But healing isn’t forgetting.
It’s remembering with softness.
It’s holding what happened without letting it define you.

To heal, you must look — not to relive, but to finally see it for what it was.

You face the moments that made you doubt your worth, and realize you’re still here — breathing, trying, learning how to feel safe in your own skin again.

Forgiveness is part of it — not the kind that excuses, but the kind that releases.

You whisper to your younger self,
You did your best. That was enough.

And slowly, you begin to return.
Not as someone new, but as the person you were
before fear took the lead —
before the noise, before the pretending.

Healing isn’t a transformation.
It’s a homecoming.
It’s remembering the sound of your own voice
and trusting it again.

☕ Real-World Saturday Grounding

You don’t have to fix anything today.
Just take a minute to breathe and be here.

Quick grounding check-in:
• Feel your feet on the floor.
• Unclench your jaw.
• Breathe out longer than you breathe in.
• Notice one small thing that’s actually okay right now — maybe the warmth of your mug or the quiet in the room.

Then just stay there for a few breaths. That’s it.
No cosmic energy, no performance — just presence.

🌿 A gentle reminder to follow us for more mindful grounding moments.

✨ Remembering Who You Already Are ✨

I’ve been so touched by how many hearts felt this reminder — that healing is remembering who you already are.

Thank you for the love, the shares, and the amens. 💛

May we keep returning to the quiet place within, where healing begins.

If this message speaks to you, you’re welcome to follow Mindful Healing for more gentle reminders of peace and self-compassion. 🌿

Letter to the One Fistfighting with Fire 🔥

Hey you.
Yeah, you.
The one who’s been fistfighting with fire.

You keep asking when it will end —
when the heat will finally ease,
when you can stop pretending you’re okay.

I know.
You’re exhausted from carrying everything that keeps burning.
From trying to find meaning in pain
that won’t give you straight answers.

But listen —
sometimes the fire doesn’t end.
Sometimes it just changes color.
And your job isn’t to conquer it.
It’s to stay present long enough
to see what it’s trying to show you.

It’s okay not to understand it all.
You’re allowed to stand here,
a little raw, a little lost,
and still call it healing.

You don’t have to rise beautifully.
You just have to rise honestly.

The Rightness of Now

We spend so much time preparing for what could fall apart that we forget to notice when things come together.

When things go right, it’s not always loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet —
a steady heartbeat of ease, a breath that doesn’t catch.

It’s not luck.
It’s alignment.
Your effort finding its rhythm.

When things go right, let them.
Don’t shrink from the good.
Don’t question the calm.

Pause. Feel it.
This is what it’s like when the world hums with you.

You’re allowed to rest
in the rightness of now. 🤍
