Words matter—especially when we’re speaking to children about who they are.

In a recent HuffPost feature, therapist Kate Roberts of Self Space Therapy offered insight into why some of the most common phrases we say to introverted children—like “speak up more” or “stop being so shy”—can unintentionally cause harm.

Supporting introverted kids means helping them feel seen, not asking them to be someone else. As Kate shares, introversion is a meaningful and valid way of engaging with the world—and when it’s honored, kids learn to trust themselves.

This is a powerful read for anyone navigating parenting, caregiving, or child-focused work.

Summer with kids at home can be a beautiful kind of chaos.
For many parents, caring for everyone else often means putting their own needs last.

This post is a gentle reminder: your mental health matters, too.
Progress isn’t about perfect days—it’s about presence, small resets, and showing up with care.

🌿 How are you taking care of yourself this weekend—especially in the in-between moments?

“Is this the right way to do this?”
It’s a question I hear often when I bring art materials into the therapy room. Faced with a blank page and endless possibilities—watercolors, pencils, textures—many clients freeze. Not because they’re unwilling, but because following intuition can feel unfamiliar. Risky, even.

As an art therapist, I’ve come to see these moments not as hesitation, but as quiet openings. Opportunities to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to second-guess or silence. Creativity, after all, is where many of us first found expression—before we had the words, before we needed permission.
Art therapy creates space for that re-connection. It invites intuition forward, not as

something optional, but as something essential. My hope is to offer both the freedom to explore and the structure to hold what we find.
Because healing isn’t always about having the “right” words. Sometimes, it’s about picking up a brush—and trusting what shows up on the page.

Becca Reynolds, MA LMHC, is an art therapist at Self Space. Through a balance of structure and freedom, her approach helps clients reconnect with quieted parts of themselves—using art as a language for healing. Follow the link in our highlights under “Team” to connect with Becca today.

What does kayaking have to do with therapy? Hear from Self Space therapist Kate Roberts, LMHC, as she describes, in her words, how the thoughtful gift of her father has expanded her insights & brought invaluable lessons to her own mindset around therapy. An excerpt below:

”When I’m on the water, I prefer to have no agenda. This is my respite from the to-do list, from the constant pressure to make something productive out of it. I’m not picking a spot down the way and timing myself. I’m not trying to achieve anything or “make it count.”

And that feels weirdly radical right now.”

If you’ve considered the notion of seeking support in the form of therapy, but you’re not sure if you “need” it, see if any of the below feelings resonate with you:

Persistent Sadness or Hopelessness
If feelings of sadness persist for weeks without relief, it may be time to seek professional help. Therapy can help you understand the root causes of these emotions and guide you toward healing.

Overwhelming Anxiety
Excessive worry, constant fear, or panic attacks can significantly impact your daily life. Therapy provides strategies to manage anxiety and regain a sense of control.

Difficulty Managing Emotions
If emotions feel out of control—whether through mood swings, frustration, or emotional overwhelm—therapy offers valuable tools to better understand and regulate your feelings.

Relationship Struggles
Communication challenges with loved ones or feelings of disconnection may indicate deeper issues that therapy can help address, fostering healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Feeling Stuck or Directionless
A sense of being lost or uncertain about your life’s direction is a common reason to seek therapy. It can offer the clarity needed to set meaningful goals and regain a sense of purpose.

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms
Engaging in harmful behaviors to manage emotional pain, such as substance use or self-harm, is a sign that therapy is needed to uncover underlying issues and establish healthier coping strategies.

Isolation or Withdrawal
Withdrawing from social connections or feeling emotionally distant from others can be a sign of emotional distress. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and others, promoting healing and emotional well-being.

If any of these thoughts or feelings resonate, it may be helpful to seek support. Follow the link to get started with our match specialist today → www.selfspaceseattle.com/book-now

Unconventional Self-Care Practices That Support Well-Being:
In high-performance environments, we often overlook the small, restorative actions that quietly support mental health.

Consider these:
– Engaging in a hobby you enjoy
– Doing the dishes (mindful routine = mental clarity)
– Gardening (reduces cortisol and fosters patience)
– Gathering with friends for dinner (community builds resilience)
– Starting your day with a calming morning ritual
– Looking at the sky — According to a 2021 University of California, Irvine study, just a few minutes of sky-gazing can evoke awe, which is linked to reduced stress and greater emotional regulation

Self-care isn’t always grand or obvious. Sometimes, it’s embedded in everyday choices that realign us with presence, purpose, and peace.

Free CEU Workshop for Mental Health Professionals

Join us tomorrow, May 2, 2025, from 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST for a live, virtual workshop designed to support mental health professionals in building deeper, more authentic relationships with clients of color.

This 1.5-hour CEU-accredited session invites clinicians to reflect critically on their role in the therapeutic relationship—particularly when cultural identity, historical trauma, and systemic inequities are present.

Through guided exploration and collaborative learning, participants will gain tools to:

• Deepen cultural competence and humility
• Understand the impact of racial trauma on mental health
• Examine the therapist's own identity, biases, and privileges
• Cultivate trust and authenticity in cross-cultural therapeutic relationships

This workshop goes beyond theory. It is an opportunity for mental health professionals to engage in meaningful self-reflection and expand their ability to provide culturally responsive, client-centered care.

Details
📅 Date: Friday, May 2, 2025
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST
💻 Location: Virtual via Zoom
🎓 CEUs: 1.5 FREE Continuing Education Units available

This session is ideal for therapists, counselors, social workers, and mental health professionals committed to creating inclusive, trauma-informed, and equitable spaces for healing.
