🌿 June is PTSD Awareness Month 🌿

At Insight Wellness Center, we honor the invisible wounds that trauma can leave behind.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects millions—but healing is possible.

✨ Trauma isn’t just “in your head.”

Trauma is stored in the body.
Your body may carry memories your mind cannot explain.
Sudden anxiety, emotional shutdowns, or physical tension can be signs of the nervous system stuck in survival mode—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

🌊 Gentle Healing Starts Here 🌊

Imagine healing by the sea…

Our integrative approach includes both evidence-based and body-based therapies to help restore a sense of safety and inner calm:

✔️ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
✔️ CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
✔️ Breathwork & Somatic Awareness
✔️ BrainTap Technology
✔️ Reiki & Mind-Body-Spirit Integration

Your body remembers—even when your mind forgets.
Let us help it feel safe again.

📞 Reach out today for a trauma-informed consultation. 925-216-3510
You are not alone.
You are not broken.

Journaling is a powerful mental health tool used in therapy, especially in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ✍️ It helps you recognize and shift thought patterns that aren’t serving you, reflect on your inner world, and set meaningful intentions.

Writing things down slows the mind, reduces stress, and helps you feel calmer and more in control. 🧠💫
In CBT, journaling is used to challenge negative thinking, track mood shifts, and create space for change. It’s a daily habit that supports emotional regulation and healing.

Sometimes what feels like anxiety, depression, or brain fog might be rooted in something deeper—something physical.
At Insight Wellness Center, we encourage a holistic approach to mental health. That means looking at the whole person—mind and body.
💡 If you’re not feeling like yourself, it’s okay to start with a checkup:
✔️ Get your labs done
✔️ Check your vitamin D, iron, thyroid, and hormones
✔️ Review any medications that may have mental health side effects
Your mental health matters—and you’re not alone in figuring it out. Whether you’re managing stress, dealing with a mood shift, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here to support you.

Did You Know May Is Mental Health Awareness Month?
Many people don’t—but it’s true. Since 1949, May has been dedicated to breaking the stigma, opening up conversations, and reminding us that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

As May comes to a close, let’s remember: awareness is just the beginning. Mental wellness is a lifelong journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

At Insight Wellness Center, we’re here to support your healing every step of the way.925-216-3510

💙 Gentle Tips To Help You Cope With Grief: 💙

Grief is not a straight path—it’s personal, layered, and often unpredictable. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, a relationship, a life transition, or something less visible but deeply felt, here are some compassionate ways to support your healing journey:

🌿 Allow Your Emotions – All feelings are valid.
Express whatever your grief needs today.

🕊 Reach Out – Talk with someone you trust. You’re not a burden, and you don’t have to do this alone.

🧘‍♀️ Practice Restorative Self-Care – Take slow walks, eat nourishing foods, rest, and say no when needed.

📔 Write It Out – Journaling helps you release thoughts and memories in a safe, reflective way.

💬 Say Their Name – Talk about your loved one if it brings comfort. Keeping their memory alive can be healing.

📅 Give Yourself Time – There’s no timeline for grief. Let go of “shoulds” and move at your own pace.

🖼 Create a Ritual or Memory Space – Light a candle, display photos, or make something meaningful to honor the loss.

📚 Learn About Grief – Sometimes understanding the process helps normalize what you’re feeling.

🤝 Join a Support Group – Connection brings comfort. Being with others who understand can be deeply grounding.

✨ We’re here for you. Insight Wellness Center offers an 8-week Grief Support Group on Zoom starting May 1st, Thursdays at noon. This safe, guided group is a space to share, reflect, and begin to heal together.

📚 Book Recommendation from Insight Wellness Center: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins 📚

At Insight Wellness Center, we are always looking for transformative resources to support personal growth and healing. The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins is a must-read for anyone struggling with control, boundaries, or emotional freedom.

This approach fosters emotional resilience, reduces stress, and empowers individuals to focus on their own well-being rather than external circumstances.
