Happy 7th Birthday to the
Freeman-Burchfield Institute (FBCBT)!

Seven years ago, FBCBT began as a dream and today, that dream continues to grow in ways we are deeply grateful for.

In these seven years, we’ve grown into:
- A dedicated team of 31 incredible people
- Two thriving locations
- 8 certified clinicians
- Monthly internal clinical trainings that support learning and excellence.
- And now, successful external trainings, allowing us to share our work beyond our walls.

But the greatest growth isn’t measured in numbers!

The biggest dream has always been this:
to be a place of healing for anyone open to receiving it.

And that mission continues…every session, every training, every connection.

To our team, our clients our trainees, and our community: THANK YOU for being part of this journey. Your trust, dedication and belief make this work possible.

Here’s to seven years of healing, learning, and growth and to everything still ahead.

Happy 7th Birthday, FBCBT!

Here’s to a new year of kindness and care for ourselves and each other. 💚

12/23/2025

Sending care to those
who ache for someone they miss,
who wake up unsure of what’s next,
who sit with loneliness,
who carry health struggles quietly,
who feel like they’ll never be enough.

You are held. You matter.

Neuroscience shows that when we’re flooded with endless information, such as 20+ faces in a day, opinions, products, lessons, our amygdala (the brain’s threat detector) works overtime.

This constant activation raises cortisol, increases anxiety and keeps our nervous system in a low-level “fight or flight” state.

And the truth is, humans weren’t built for the nonstop content cycle.

Our brains are wired for small amounts of gradual information, not loads of content within minutes.

So feeling anxious isn’t personal weakness… it’s a biological response to too much input.

If the scroll leaves you feeling on edge, that’s your brain saying:
“Too much. I need a break.”

Listening to it is not avoidance, it’s neurological self-care.
