🎨 Art Therapy Group: Painting Our Peace 🖌️

Today, our art therapy group explored the theme of “A Peaceful Place” — a state of mind or moment in time that feels calm, safe, and free. Each participant was invited to visualize and paint their personal version of peace — whether it was a sunlit beach, a quiet forest, or a symbolic expression of inner strength. 💙

Art therapy offers a powerful way to express emotions that words can’t always capture. Through color, shape, and imagination, we tap into healing, mindfulness, and self-awareness.

✨ Did you know?
• Art therapy can reduce stress and anxiety by activating the brain’s creative centers and calming the nervous system.
• It helps individuals process trauma and build emotional resilience through non-verbal expression.
• There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to create — every brushstroke tells part of your story.

Each painting in this session represents a unique journey toward hope and peace — proof that healing can be both colorful and deeply personal. 💙

🐴 Healing in Motion: Equine Therapy at Harmony Farms 🌿

This week for Behavioral Activation group we spent a powerful and grounding day at Harmony Farms, connecting with the horses as part of their Equine-Assisted Therapy program.

Equine therapy offers a unique path toward emotional healing and self-discovery. Horses are highly intuitive animals — they respond to our emotions and body language, reflecting our internal state in real time. This makes them incredible partners in trauma recovery, helping individuals build trust, self-awareness, and emotional regulation in a safe and supportive environment.

For those with complex trauma, where traditional talk therapy can feel overwhelming, equine therapy provides a gentle, experiential way to reconnect with the body and emotions. Through caring for, observing, and simply being present with these animals, participants practice mindfulness, patience, and vulnerability — all key components in healing from trauma and anxiety.

At Beachside Recovery, we believe healing happens not just through words, but through meaningful experiences that restore connection — to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. 💙

Thank you to the wonderful team at Harmony Farms for hosting us and for the incredible work you do for the community!

🖤 Behavioral Activation Group 🖤

Today for behavorial activation group we challenged our patients to an epic game of laser tag at Route 7 Karting and Entertainment 💥

Why do we do activities like this? Because healing isn’t only talking—it’s living. 🩵

Here’s how experiences like this support trauma recovery, depression, and overall mental health:

✅ Team Building:
Trauma often makes us feel isolated or unsafe with others. Playing together builds trust, connection, and healthy social bonds in a low-pressure, fun environment.

✅ Movement & Activation:
Depression and anxiety can freeze us in place. Physical activity helps boost mood, release stress, and re-engage the nervous system in a positive way.

✅ Community & Belonging:
Healing happens in relationships. Knowing you’re not alone and having shared experiences reminds us that supportive community is powerful medicine.

✅ Confidence & Joy:
Sometimes the most therapeutic thing you can do… is laugh, play, and feel alive again.

We’re so proud of our group for stepping outside their comfort zone and showing up—for themselves and each other. 💙

🎨 Art Therapy Group 🎨

At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, our Art Therapy Group is more than creative expression — it’s a vital part of the Mindfulness module in our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program.

In DBT, mindfulness teaches us to stay grounded in the present moment — to observe, describe, and accept our emotions without judgment. Through art, these same skills come alive visually. Each brushstroke becomes an act of awareness, each color a reflection of our inner world.

The hand paintings above show a powerful transformation:

🖐 “What My Hands Once Held” — the weight of struggle, pain, and chaos.
🖐 “What My Hands Hold Now” — peace, creativity, family, abundance, and freedom.

Art therapy allows patients to externalize difficult emotions, practice radical acceptance, and reconnect with meaning. It’s mindfulness in motion — a creative way to slow down, breathe, and witness healing unfold one color at a time.

🌅 This group is an integrated part of Beachside’s comprehensive DBT program. Patients participating in DBT engage in art therapy as a way to deepen mindfulness practice, enhance emotional regulation, and connect with self-expression in a supportive therapeutic environment.

💛 At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, every component of DBT — including mindfulness through art therapy — works together to help patients build balance, resilience, and lasting inner peace.

🌊🥊 Behavioral Activation Group 🥊🌊

Our Behavioral Activation group had an incredible time stepping into the ring at The Cycle Studio—not to fight, but to heal, connect, and grow.

Boxing isn’t just about strength—it’s about empowerment. Every punch thrown is a release of built-up energy, a way to channel emotions, reduce stress, and build resilience. Movement like this has been shown to boost mood, ease anxiety, and sharpen focus—powerful tools for recovery and mental wellness.

Beyond the workout, today was about community. Together, we pushed past comfort zones, supported one another, and celebrated small victories. These shared moments remind us that healing doesn’t happen alone—it happens in connection. 💙

We’re grateful to our community partner The Cycle Studio for welcoming us into their space and helping us explore new ways to strengthen both body and mind.

💪✨ Here’s to building confidence, finding joy in movement, and proving to ourselves just how strong we really are.

🌊🐾 Healing with a Wagging Tail 🐾🌊

Meet Lilo, our beloved Registered Therapy Dog here at Beachside Center for Trauma + Anxiety. 💙

These beautiful photos were shared with us by a patient who struggles with severe anxiety. She wanted to show just how much comfort, joy, and grounding Lilo brings her during sessions. Her smile says it all. 💕

Animal-assisted therapy isn’t just about cuddles (though Lilo is a pro at those!). Research shows that therapy animals can:
✨ Lower heart rate and blood pressure
✨ Reduce cortisol (the stress hormone)
✨ Increase oxytocin (the bonding and “calm” hormone)
✨ Provide a sense of safety and unconditional acceptance
✨ Help patients engage more fully in therapy

For patients experiencing trauma and anxiety, moments of play and connection with Lilo can make the hard work of healing feel a little lighter. 🐶💞

We are so grateful to our patients who share these glimpses of hope with us—it’s a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be done alone. Sometimes, it comes on four paws and a wagging tail. 🐕

🖤 Healing from Trauma + Anxiety 🖤

Our triggers often reflect the pain we haven’t yet healed from. 💔

If you find yourself getting triggered by fear of abandonment, criticism, raised voices, or even feeling dismissed, it may be connected to deeper wounds from the past — such as rejection, critical caregivers, or environments where your needs weren’t met.

✨ The good news: healing is possible. ✨

At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety we help individuals uncover the root causes of their trauma and anxiety, and provide the tools to build resilience, self-compassion, and lasting recovery.

You don’t have to carry these wounds alone. 🩵
We’re here. We care. Your story is important.

✨ At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, our last Behavioral Activation group turned into a full day of adventure therapy — and it was incredible!

Our adult group spent the morning at the Brevard Zoo experiencing the Treetop Trek zipline. 🧗‍♂️🌲 It wasn’t just about the adrenaline — it was about building trust, strengthening community, and rediscovering personal courage.

Later, our adolescents took to the water for an afternoon of kayaking at Paddling Paradise. 🚣 They laughed, connected, and experienced the healing power of nature while building a sense of belonging.

At Beachside, we believe that healing doesn’t just happen in an office — it happens in connection, adventure, and shared experiences that remind us of our strength. 💙

Thank you to all of our wonderful community partners for your collaboration and helping to break the stigma around mental health by joing the movement.

🌊✨ Big News at Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety ✨🌊

Experiential Therapy Group

Last night, our adult experiential therapy group took a very special trip to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office Animal Services for an afternoon of Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT).

Connecting with animals in a safe and supportive environment offers profound therapeutic benefits:
✨ Lowers stress hormones and reduces anxiety
✨ Promotes emotional regulation and grounding
✨ Builds empathy, compassion, and trust
✨ Increases social connection and interpersonal effectiveness

For individuals healing from trauma, these moments of calm, joy, and connection can be incredibly powerful. Our patients left with lighter hearts, wagging tails at their side, and a renewed sense of hope. 💙

A huge thank you to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Shelter for welcoming us and partnering in this healing work.

At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, we believe recovery is not just about talk—it’s about doing, experiencing, and reconnecting with the world in meaningful ways.

Last night at Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, we held a powerful psychoeducational group focused on complex trauma, interpersonal effectiveness, and boundary setting during hard conversations.

As a true DBT program, we know that learning these skills is essential for healing and growth. Complex trauma often impacts relationships and communication, making it difficult to feel safe, assertive, and connected. By practicing DBT-informed skills, participants are learning to:

⚫️ Navigate difficult conversations without escalation
⚫️ Build healthier, more balanced relationships
⚫️ Recognize and honor personal limits through boundary setting
⚫️ Develop resilience in the face of triggers tied to trauma and anxiety

Every step in this work is an act of courage. 🩵 We are very proud of our patients for showing up, leaning into vulnerability, and practicing skills that create lasting change.

This week, our behavioral activation group got together for a night of bowling. Beyond the fun, laughter, and a few gutter balls, this activity carried powerful therapeutic benefits.

Why Bowling (or any structured recreational activity) matters for mental health:

• Movement improves mood: Even moderate physical activity has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by supporting healthy brain chemistry and lowering stress hormones (Schuch et al., 2016, American Journal of Psychiatry).

• Recreational activities restore balance: Engaging in enjoyable, goal-directed activities combats withdrawal and inactivity, two common patterns in depression, by providing structure, accomplishment, and pleasure (Dimidjian et al., 2011, Annual Review of Clinical Psychology).

• Community fosters resilience: Social connection acts as a protective factor for mental health, reducing loneliness and improving overall well-being (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010, PLOS Medicine).

Bowling together wasn’t just about strikes and spares—it was about creating space for movement, joy, and connection. These small but intentional steps are evidence-based strategies proven to help people regain momentum in recovery and daily life.
