Support groups can help empower women recovering from narcissistic abuse by fostering emotional healing, rebuilding self-worth, and equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary to break harmful relational patterns and cultivate healthy, authentic connections.

🍂✨ Hello October! ✨🍂

We’re pressing pause on our regularly scheduled mental health content today to celebrate the first day of October 🍁

Even though here in Florida the cooler temps take their time arriving, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the season anyway!

Here’s to a fresh month filled with balance, beauty, and maybe a pumpkin spice scented candle. 🎃

Our next workshop is just around the corner!
Register by October 10th. Please note: This is an afternoon workshop.

Presented by Kellie Garza, LMHC, CST, Q.S.

Kellie brings over 20 years of trauma-focused psychotherapy experience and advanced postgraduate training in dissociation and s*x therapy. This interactive three-hour workshop offers a clear, step-by-step protocol to identify and treat somatic symptoms, unconscious triggers, and trauma body memories. You’ll learn how to recognize and work compassionately with distinct ego-states or “parts,” translate body sensations into clinical interventions, and safely guide clients through unresolved somatic material. Kellie’s roles as a Certified S*x Therapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Director of Education for Florida Mental Health Licensure Services ensure the training is practice-oriented and clinically relevant. The workshop emphasizes hands-on exercises, case examples, and skills you can use immediately in session. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with concrete techniques to address trauma-related body memories and support clients’ nervous-system regulation. Space is limited, reserve your spot to deepen your somatic clinical toolkit and learn compassionate, effective ways to work with parts.

Being a therapist is more than a career. It’s an honor. 🥹

At Pamper Your Mind, we’re grateful every day that our patients trust us with their stories. The human connection we share is humbling, powerful, and a reminder of why this work is always worth it. ❤️‍🩹

📱✨ The Importance of a Digital Detox ✨📱

We live in a world that’s always “on.” While technology keeps us connected, too much screen time can leave us drained, distracted, and disconnected from ourselves. That’s where a digital detox comes in. 🌿

Taking intentional breaks from your devices can:
✅ Reduce stress and overwhelm
✅ Improve focus and productivity
✅ Strengthen relationships
✅ Boost creativity and sleep quality

Steps to Take a Digital Detox:
1️⃣ Set “no phone” zones like the dinner table or bedroom.
2️⃣ Schedule device-free times even just an hour a day.
3️⃣ Turn off non-essential notifications.
4️⃣ Swap screen time for real-world activities (reading, walking, journaling).
5️⃣ Let friends/family know you’re unplugging, so they can support you.

💡 Remember: It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Even small breaks can make a big difference for your mental health.
