The pace can speed up this time of year — more plans, more noise, more expectations. Pausing isn’t falling behind. It’s giving your nervous system a chance to reset.

Even a few slow breaths, a moment of stillness, or choosing one less thing can help your body feel steadier.

You don’t have to do everything to be enough.

If this season feels like a lot, therapy can be a space to slow things down and make sense of what’s coming up. Learn more or book an appointment at www.risetherapy.net

You don’t have to know what to say in therapy.

Many people worry they won’t explain things “right” or that they need a clear goal before starting. You don’t.

Therapy isn’t about having perfect words.
It’s about exploring what shows up — thoughts, emotions, pauses, and patterns — together.

Not knowing what to say is often where the work begins.

If you’ve been waiting until you feel more certain or prepared, you don’t have to. Learn more or schedule at www.risetherapy.net

It’s okay to have mixed feelings.

You can feel relieved and sad.
Hopeful and scared.
Grateful and overwhelmed — all at the same time.

Emotions aren’t meant to be tidy or singular.
Making space for complexity is part of emotional health.

You don’t have to choose just one feeling to be “valid.”

If you want help understanding or holding those mixed emotions, visit www.risetherapy.net

Progress in Therapy Doesn’t Always Feel Like Progress

Sometimes progress looks like:
• noticing patterns you didn’t see before
• feeling emotions more clearly (even when it’s uncomfortable)
• pausing before reacting
• setting boundaries that feel awkward at first
• realizing what no longer works for you

Growth isn’t always calm or obvious.
Often, it feels messy before it feels better.

That doesn’t mean therapy isn’t working, it means change is happening beneath the surface.

If you’re curious about what progress could look like for you, learn more or book at www.risetherapy.net

The Holidays Can Be Hard When You’re Grieving

The season can amplify what’s missing.
Traditions may feel different.
Joy and sadness can exist side by side and that’s okay.

If you’re grieving, you don’t have to force cheer or pretend this season feels the same. Your experience is valid, even when it doesn’t match the mood around you.

Grief doesn’t mean the holidays are broken.
It means love is still present.

If the season is bringing up more than you expected, therapy can offer space to process and navigate it. If you are interested in learning more or booking an appointment visit www.risetherapy.net

Start of week check-in
Before the week fills up, take a moment to notice:

• How does your body feel right now?
• What feels heavy — or tender — today?
• What would help this week feel just 5% easier?
• What do you want more of as the week begins?
• What emotion is asking for your attention this week?

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Awareness is a form of care.

If you’re noticing patterns you want to understand or shift, therapy can help you move through the weeks with more steadiness. If you are want to learn more or schedule an appointment visit www.risetherapy.net

Therapy works because your brain is changeable at any age.

Your brain is not fixed. It learns, reshapes, and rewires itself throughout your entire life, a process called neuroplasticity.

That's why therapy is effective:
- New coping skills = New neural pathways
- Emotional safety reduces stress responses
- Naming emotions helps the brain regulate them
- Practicing boundaries strengthens decision-making circuits
- Healing relationships rewire attachment patterns

You’re not “too old.”
You’re not “too stuck.”
And you’re not “too late.”

If something in you wants to grow or change… that’s already your brain beginning the process.

If you want help rewiring old patterns or building new ones, therapy can support you in that work. Learn more or schedule at www.risetherapy.net

Why You May Feel Off When It's Dark and Cold Outside:

If you’ve been more tired, low-energy, or unmotivated lately, there’s a real reason for it.
Shorter days and colder weather shift your biology in ways you feel:

• Less sunlight → lower serotonin (your mood + motivation chemical)
• More darkness → increased melatonin (your sleepiness chemical)
• Cold weather → the body conserves energy (fatigue increases)
• Less time outside → reduced grounding + movement

So no, you’re not lazy.
Your brain is adjusting to a seasonal environment that demands more energy than it gives.

Be gentle with yourself as we move through this darker stretch of the year.
And if this season feels heavier than expected, our therapists have immediate availability and you can schedule easily at www.risetherapy.net

Trauma isn't just a story, it's a sensation.
The brain stores overwhelming experiences in the body first:
tightness, numbness, pressure, racing heartbeat, shutdown, heaviness.

This is why talking about the trauma sometimes isn’t always enough.
The deeper layers live in the nervous system, not just the narrative.

Brainspotting and EFT work directly with these stored sensations, helping the body release what it’s been holding so you can finally feel settled again.

If you’re ready or curious about therapy that works with both mind and body, our trained providers have immediate availability and you can book at www.risetherapy.net

You’re not behind.
You’re not failing.
You’re not “supposed” to be further along than you are.

If the holidays stirred up emotions, slowed your pace, or left you feeling scattered,
you’re still allowed to start again today.
And again tomorrow.
And as many times as you need.

You’re human. You’re trying.
And that counts.

If this season feels heavier than you expected, our providers have immediate availability and would love to help you.
You can schedule your appointment anytime or learn more at www.risetherapy.net

Micro-Habits to Finish the Year Calmly.

The end of the year can feel overwhelming- holidays, deadlines, family dynamics, and self-reflection all at once. Small, intentional habits can help you stay grounded without adding more stress.

1. One-minute breathing breaks
Take 60 seconds to inhale for 4, hold for 2, and exhale for 6. A simple reset for your nervous system.

2. Daily Mini-Reflection
Write down one thing you are grateful for or one small win from the day. It keeps perspective alive in the chaos.

3. Small Boundaries
Say "no" to one thing that drains your energy. Even small boundaries protect your calm.

4. Quick Body Scan
Notice tension in shoulders, jaw, or chest. Release what you can. This signal safety to your nervous system.

5. One Intentional Pause
Before answering texts, emails, or requests, take a short pause. This keeps reactions intentional and not automatic.

Gentle reminder: You don't need to do everything perfectly. Small, consistent habits create calm more effectively than trying to overhaul everything at once.

Looking for some extra support to navigate the holiday season?
Our providers have immediate availability, you can schedule and learn more at www.risetherapy.net
