Radical Acceptance: A Tool for Anxiety & Trauma Healing

Radical acceptance doesn’t mean approval — it means acknowledging reality so we can reduce suffering and regain control over how we respond. 🌊

These coping statements can help when anxiety or trauma responses feel overwhelming. Try reading one slowly, breathing deeply, and noticing what shifts in your body.

You don’t have to like what happened to move forward.

You DO get to choose how you care for yourself now.

🐬🌊 Behavioral Activation in Action 🌊🐬

Our most recent Behavioral Activation Group took healing beyond the therapy office and out onto the water. This week, our patients spent the day boating—immersed in nature, strengthening community, and building confidence through shared experience.

Participants took turns learning how to operate and drive the boat, practiced being present in the moment, and connected with one another in a supportive, safe environment. As a special gift from nature, we were even joined by dolphins playing nearby, reminding us of the joy, curiosity, and calm that can exist alongside trauma recovery.

🌱 Why this matters:
Community connection and exposure to nature play a powerful role in trauma recovery and in treating co-occurring disorders. Experiential activities like behavioral activation help:
• Regulate the nervous system
• Reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms
• Build mastery, confidence, and trust
• Strengthen social connection and reduce isolation
• Reinforce that healing can include joy, movement, and meaning

Trauma often teaches the brain to stay in survival mode. Safe, shared experiences in natural environments help reintroduce a sense of safety, empowerment, and engagement with life.

💙 A huge thank you to our community partner:
321 Boat Rentals & Club — thank you for your generosity, hospitality, and continued support of our patients. Your partnership makes experiences like this possible and directly supports healing in our community.

We are grateful for days like this and for the courage our patients show in trying something new, together.

The holidays can be a beautiful time — but for many, they can also feel incredibly isolating.

When connection fades, loneliness can deepen anxiety, intensify trauma symptoms, and create the conditions where addiction quietly grows.

If you’re feeling disconnected this season, please remember:
• You are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with needing support.
• Isolation is not a personal failure — it’s a human response to overwhelm, grief, stress, and unmet emotional needs.

At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, we help individuals rewrite their story by addressing the root causes of emotional pain. Healing begins when you reach out — even if it’s just a single conversation.

💬 If you or someone you love is struggling, save these important helpline numbers. Sometimes reaching out just once is enough to change everything.

You deserve support. You deserve connection.
You deserve to rewrite your story.

🌊 New Artist Spotlight at Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety: Healing Through Expression 🌊

We’re honored to share our newest piece now hanging in the office — a powerful visual narrative by .art that speaks directly to the journey of trauma and the courage it takes to rise from it.

This painting captures two versions of the same figure: one submerged in dark, heavy water and one resting tenderly above the surface. The underwater figure reaches upward, releasing bubbles — a quiet symbol of struggle, survival, and the fight for breath in moments that feel overwhelming. Above the water, the same figure lies curled in vulnerability, yet in contact with the version of herself below.

This is the story of trauma:
How parts of us can feel lost beneath the surface, unseen by others — and sometimes even by ourselves. How our internal world can hold emotions we haven’t yet had words for. And how healing often begins when we gently acknowledge both the pain and the strength that coexist within us.

Art therapy plays a vital role in trauma recovery, and this piece captures why:
🎨 Art allows expression without needing language.
For many who have experienced trauma, feelings live in the body before they live in words. Art becomes a bridge — a way to tell the story safely, at your own pace.

🎨 It reconnects mind + body.
Through creativity, individuals can explore emotions stored deep within, regulate their nervous system, and rediscover parts of themselves they thought were lost.

🎨 It fosters empowerment.
In making art, you control the narrative. You choose colors, shapes, and images — a powerful contrast to the loss of control that trauma can create.

This stunning new work by .art joins our growing featured collection of artists who bring depth, compassion, and perspective to the healing journey — including our own art therapist Jill Benfield, MA, ATR-P, RMHCI, local artist , and Billings, Montana artist + tattooist Michael Martin of Inkredible Art (https://inkredible.art/).

At Beachside Recovery Center, we believe healing is multi-dimensional. Art therapy is one of the many evidence-based tools we use to help individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with themselves in a safe and supported environment.

If this piece speaks to you, know that you’re not alone — and that healing is possible, one breath, one moment, one expression at a time.

🌊 Behavioral Activation Group Highlights! 🌊

This week, our adult and adolescent groups got moving in the most meaningful ways — each activity designed to support healing, connection, and growth.

🧘‍♀️ ADULTS: Beach Yoga with The Yogi Perogi

Our adult patients grounded themselves with beachside yoga, focusing on mindful movement and breathwork. Yoga is more than stretching — it’s a powerful trauma-informed practice that helps regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and reconnect the body and mind after trauma. Practicing on the sand amplified the calming sensory experience, offering stability, soothing rhythmic sound, and a sense of safety in nature.

🎮 ADOLESCENTS: Competition + Community at Arcade Monsters

Our teens took Behavioral Activation to the next level with a friendly (but fierce!) competition at Arcade Monsters. Structured, positive competition helps adolescents build confidence, strengthen peer connections, and experience joy in a healthy, prosocial setting. Community-based activities like this support emotional regulation and remind teens they’re not alone on their healing journey.

☀️ Behavioral Activation isn’t just about “doing activities” — it’s about helping each person rediscover pleasure, connection, and empowerment in safe, supportive ways.

🖤 Celebrating One Year of Wellness: Nicki’s Story 🖤

This week at the Vans Warped Tour in Orlando, Nicki stood proudly with To Write Love On Her Arms. to share a message of resilience, gratitude, and hope. And today, we are celebrating her incredible milestone:

One full year of sustained remission from depression and a renewed chapter of psychological wellness.

Nicki bravely navigated BPD, C-PTSD, anxiety, and depression—and she continues to show the world what healing can look like. Through faith, community, treatment, and her fierce determination, she found her way to stability and wellness. We are honored that Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety has been part of her journey. 🩵

Her handwritten message at Warped Tour reads:

“BPD, CPTSD, Anxiety & Depression did not get me… Thanks to God, Lineage Church & Beachside Recovery + Interventions! Love you guys. Praise the God who SAVES!” — Nicki



🩵 About To Write Love on Her Arms

🧠 Understanding Complex Trauma and Common Comorbid Disorders

Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)

C-PTSD develops from prolonged exposure to traumatic experiences—often interpersonal. It can affect emotional regulation, sense of self, and the ability to trust. Healing requires safety, connection, and trauma-informed support.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

BPD involves intense emotions, difficulty with relationships, fears of abandonment, and identity challenges. With proper therapy (like DBT), compassion, and consistent support, people with BPD can and do achieve stability and meaningful recovery.

Depression

More than low mood, depression impacts energy, motivation, sleep, thinking, and overall functioning. Treatment often includes therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and strong community support. Sustained remission—like Nicki’s—is absolutely possible.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety becomes a disorder when it interferes with daily life. It can manifest as panic, worry, tension, or physical symptoms. Care that blends grounding skills, therapy, and support networks can significantly reduce symptoms.



🩵 A Message of Hope

Nicki’s journey is a powerful reminder:
Recovery is real. Healing is possible. Your story isn’t over.

To EVERY person fighting to stay here—
You are worthy of support, you deserve care, and you are never alone.

🌊 Sessions on the Sand with Jill & Lilo 🐾 🩵

At Beachside Recovery Center for Trauma + Anxiety, healing doesn’t have to happen inside four walls. Sometimes it looks like sunshine, ocean air, warm sand… and a very fluffy therapy assistant.

A recent session with Jill and Lilo reminded us just how powerful environment and connection can be for trauma and anxiety recovery. Being outdoors—especially near the ocean—naturally supports the nervous system, helping reduce cortisol, regulate breathing, and create a sense of safety.

And then there’s animal-assisted therapy.
Lilo brings:
✨ Emotional grounding
✨ Unconditional connection
✨ Support for regulation and co-regulation
✨ A calming presence that makes difficult processing feel a little more gentle

For many patients, interacting with a supportive animal helps lower anxiety, ease hyperarousal, and build trust in the therapeutic process… all while offering a moment of joy, softness, and some sandy cuddles.

If you or someone you love is navigating trauma or anxiety, we’re here to help. 💙

🎃 Happy Halloween from our Beachside family to yours! 🎃

Today our Behavioral Activation Group got into the spirit of the season by carving pumpkins together — a simple, creative, and joyful way to celebrate community and connection.

At Beachside Recovery, we know that healing happens in community. Shared laughter, creativity, and even a little pumpkin mess remind us that recovery isn’t just about hard work — it’s also about finding joy and belonging along the way.

For many of our patients, moments like this help rebuild trust, connection, and a sense of safety after trauma. Whether through art, nature, or group activities like this one, we celebrate the small steps that bring color back into life.

🧡 Here’s to connection, creativity, and carving out space for healing.

Happy Halloween from all of us — patients and staff alike — to you and yours! 👻🎃

🎨 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!
