Fixing everything for them, won't fix everything.

In the end, the people that have some broken parts have to do their own mending in order for the healing to work. You can do all you can and still end up falling short of the mark.

⛔ That's because you may not be what they need. ⛔

That is totally okay. Sitting with someone and acknowledging their hurt can go a lot farther than trying to fix it for them sometimes. It's so painful to watch those we love struggle. You loving them through it is enough.

Do you ever fantasize you have someone else's life? 🤔

We all get caught up in it sometimes.

The important part is what do we do with that fantasy? Are we working to become the best version of ourselves or sinking into self loathing? Therapy can be the place where you work to find the life you fantasize about.

Therapy is so much more than just your feelings! 😝

There is such a thing as career coaching, parent coaching, and peak performance EMDR. 🏃🏼 All of these are to say that you can pick and choose what kind of life you want to create. Counseling can be the support platform to launch you forward into a new way of being.

If you are interested in how we can help you, book a ✨FREE✨ first session!

This is your sign that you could be living that fantasy. Take that first step to help yourself.

So they cheated...now what? 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏼‍♂️

You have to look at your relationship and where you are both at to see what next steps can be. Either way you decide to go, a counselor can help you navigate the next steps.

Relationships are a complicated thing.

If they were easy, we would all have perfect partners right from the get go, right? 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Unfortunately, that is not the case for most people. They are complex and full of nuance. Your partner can absolutely love you and still be unfaithful for some reason.

🤷🏻‍♂️ How do you dig into that safely?

The answer is by having someone neutral to help you get to the bottom of why this is happening for you and your partner. Each person can be heard.

If you are struggling with this, reach out to us. 👋🏼 We are here to support you whatever your journey through it may be.

17/08/2021

Share this with someone that you feel is beautiful inside and out! 🙌🏼

How often do we compliment people on their inner work?

The answer: not often enough! 😳 Give yourself a pat on the back for the work that you are doing today. Tell a friend how much you admire them for something they are on the inside.

You'd be surprised how powerful this can be! 😍

Don't let a day go by without seeing the beautiful parts of yourself and those around you. Practicing gratitude and self love can be the first step to a wonderful relationship with inner peace.

*Trigger Warning* This kind of grief is just as real as any other.

Miscarriage is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of people to discuss. If it is uncomfortable for you, is it because of a societal standard to sweep it under the rug?

It is time for this to get the care it deserves. 🤗

You may not realize just how difficult going through a miscarriage is on a person. Every experience is different, but these are some of the common results of pregnancy loss. Are there any that made you think twice about a friend or family members experience?

Do not feel like you have to go through this alone.

Reach out to friends and family. Share this with your friends, so they can be aware. It's time that we end the stigma.

💚 💚 💚

Getting help isn't a weakness.⁠
⁠
Strength is found in reaching out for the help that you deserve. You deserve to feel whole, healed, and safe. The hard part is starting that journey. ⁠

Are you ready to start it yet?

“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.”

Don't forget to stop and marvel at the beauty all around us on a daily basis. What is something astonishing that you stopped to look at this week?

Have you considered counseling for your happy marriage?

You might be thinking, "Well, if we're happy, then why would we be in counseling?" There is so much you can learn other than just how not to fight!

We could always learn better ways to communicate and love our partners whether we have known them forever or have been married for years. You would be surprised.

What have you been keeping secret from your spouse?

Their dirty dishes actually drive you crazy? Their version of date night isn't the funnest? Do you wish they would help more with a certain aspect of your family?

Whatever it may be, we all hold a little bit back from our partners for the sake of keeping the peace.

Could you benefit from a few couples counseling sessions? ABSOLUTELY!

Here's a link to more info on our couples counseling services:

The journey to boundary setting can get rocky at times. 👷🏼

You are building a life that makes sense to you, but maybe it is hard for you to verbalize that to others because it makes you uncomfortable. Or maybe those people are not reacting well to the boundaries that you are setting.

Either way, you feel blocked.

Don't lose hope. You are valid in your decisions. Have patience and grace with your healthy boundary journey! You won't get there in a day, but it is well worth the wait.

Here are some reminders:

🏗️ Boundaries are for your benefit.

🏗️ Boundaries are building the life you need.

🏗️ Boundaries keep you healthy.

Keep on going, and you will reep the fruit of all this hard work. Some days are going to be not great. It's okay! You are worth the work.

03/08/2021

Expectations are work. Aren't you exhausted pleasing everyone else?

We can only be responsible for our own emotions, our own thoughts, and our own expectations. Whether we meet or exceed them is up to us.

Piling on the expectations of others doesn't benefit our goals or needs.

Guess who's goals and needs those are meeting: THEIRS. But you aren't responsible for that, friend.

Take a deep breath, think about who's expectations you have been holding onto, and let them go with that breath. It can help to verbalize it as well.

What expectations are you releasing today?

⁠
✨Check out our newest blog where we dive into these resources a bit further. ✨⁠
⁠
Back to school can bring a mix of emotions. We look forward to new routines but may feel nostalgic about summer coming to an end. With the uncertainty swirling around the media these days, there is a whole new layer to “back to school”.

Let’s do a quick check-in....
This season is stressful on everyone, but now it's even more chaotic than ever. Along with your pencils, book bags, and binders; PPE and distancing have become a norm in our lives. ⁠
⁠
❔How are you feeling about the start of the school year?

❔How is your child feeling?

⁠
The past year has been tough on many levels. And while there was a LOT of shared experience, the truth is we all probably are experiencing the stress in different ways. If you haven’t already, take some time to check in with your kids. Ask & truly listen to how they are doing. What are the excited about? What feels uncertain? Any worries?
Then, ask yourself the same.

Are you healing your inner wounds or letting them go untouched? 🤕

Mental hurt can be just as debilitating to our ability to function as a physical injury. Yet, we are much more likely to ignore those inner hurts.

The stigma of 'strength' in ignoring those is just silly! 😜

Taking time for our mental health means we are ready to heal the hurt and move forward. Who wouldn't want to feel more fulfilled, peaceful, and whole?

Raise your hand if that sounds amazing. ✋🏻

Get started today. Our first session is free! Both Reagan and Lisa are accepting new clients. You can check out their info in our highlights or click the link in our bio to head to our website.

We're looking forward to helping you heal those pesky inner wounds that are holding you back from your best life.

“You cannot raise your children how your parents raised you, because they raised you for a world that no longer exists."

So let’s break it down and talk Boundaries 101:

Your boundaries are your responsibility. Your job is to know them and communicate with them.

🛑 What’s not your job 🛑 :

Managing someone’s reaction to your boundary.

Expect an emotional reaction. Setting a boundary for the first time will lead to people feeling upset. They are probably going to take it personally because they are so used to getting their way.

They’re going to think you’re holding a grudge against them when you’re really setting a boundary for yourself.

If you know a reaction is coming, it’s easier to just let the reaction come. See their emotional reaction for what it is - it is theirs and not yours to manage. Hold your boundary and move on.

✏️ Every time you draw a boundary, you put yourself first.

25/07/2021

Love yourself first because that is who you will spend the rest of your life with.

24/07/2021

The green monster of jealousy can be useful! 💚

It's hard not to compare ourselves and try to keep up with the Jones, but it ultimately will leave us unfulfilled without some intervention.

Our deepest desires can be hidden under layers of obligation to family, spouses, and society. If what you truly want is hidden, it makes it pretty difficult to keep feeling fulfilled.

Each stage of life can come with new desires.

Taking the time to channel things like jealousy can help us to uncover our 'purpose' driven path and lead a more fulfilled life. Much better than just letting it fester, right?

Let's start thinking about our jealousy! Comment below if you've ever felt completely overrun by jealousy and what helped you to discover your fulfillment.

Boundaries are not there for the benefit of others; they are yours for a reason.

It can be difficult to finally make the stand to create the boundaries you need and be met with resistance. Unfortunately, not everyone is peachy with change.

Keep going.

These boundaries are there to help you grow past the life that is holding you back. It is worth it. The temporary pain of negativity will pass and reveal a stronger, healthier individual.

20/07/2021

Change is hard but so beautiful.

If you are going through a season of change right now, know that there is good that can come from the work you are putting in. It is worth it to invest in yourself.

Why do we celebrate someone's gym routine more than someone regularly going to therapy? 💪🏼 😥

🔹 Both are worthy of praise.

🔹 Both are ways to make ourselves better.

🔹 Both address our health.

Yet, we would rather talk about our latest lifting record than our feelings. That has begun to shift lately which is AMAZING, but we still have a ways to go. When you have friends that are going through a tough time, feel comfortable suggesting seeing a counselor!

We are the tools that make life that much easier. You do the work, but we are there to teach you how to get there. Seeking meaning and peace doesn't have to be a lonely journey.

We and all the other counselors are there for you.

Comment 🙌🏼 if you think that mental health deserves more attention.

Wondering how to be more mindful? ✨Check out our blog! ✨

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is applicable to nearly every person's life. Whether you are a stressed-out CEO, stay-at-home mom, or retired; paying attention on purpose can unleash a level of peace we all crave.

It's not just woo woo. 😵

These techniques can help with anxiety, depression, and help us focus on what we really want out of life. Sometimes we all get stuck in auto mode. Getting ourselves out can take practice, but this new blog has the tips to help.

Pinterest moms still have a junk drawer, just so you know.

There is so much pressure to be this smiling, perfectly put-together mom when all we tend to see on social media are the perfect moments. You 'know' this, but it still puts pressure on us without us realizing it. We put such unrealistic pressure on ourselves to be the best mom ever.

There is no one way to parent children.

Every child and family is different. Your style may not match up with what you are seeing from your peers, and that is absolutely fine!

When you feel like you are struggling with your mom journey, remember this:

Imperfection is more beautiful than flawless could ever be.

12/07/2021

Letting go is about you just as much as it is about them.

The healing can only happen inside of yourself when you relinquish the control and the guilt. They did it. They made that choice.

You are free to move on.

Depression hits everyone differently.

Understanding how can help us to recognize warning signs in ourselves and those around us. The simple stuff can often be mistaken for regular old 'fatigue'. Now more than ever, it's easy to shrug it off.

The good news is that there are resources out there!

The daily struggles can be easier if you can share how you are feeling with someone around you. Friends, if you are reading this, offer a helping hand to those you know that are struggling. Even just reaching out so they know you are there can be comforting if they aren't ready to accept more.

This season will come to an end, and you are not alone.

Share this to help destigmatize depression. Not everyone realizes how it can affect every aspect of our lives.

Self-care is what YOU need. That may look different than your peers.

For some, it's finally sitting down to watch TV while others love their workouts. Sometimes, it can be as simple as a shower long enough to wash everything (not just the qu**ky).

However self-care looks to you, be sure that you are making the time for it. Take care of the body that serves you so well. Rest, eat well, take a walk.

This year we have a lot to celebrate on Independence Day! 🇺🇲

Our world is opening back up, and it seems as though healing has begun. The past year has been full of changes. These changes impact us and our children.

💥 Don't forget to celebrate a little today. 💥

Our children, our families, and us adults could all use some good, old-fashioned fun around a BBQ pit. Things may be a bit smaller for some. Maybe there is someone missing. The important part is what we can do moving forward.

Remember the important things. 🤗

Your mental health, your family, your peace. From our family here at The Well House Group, Happy 4th of July.

Giving up control over how people act can be so freeing and here's why:

💫 You are free to put your energy into yourself.

💫 It keeps you from having anxiety you don't need.

💫 It can help to center yourself to maintain priorities.

Send this to someone that could use the reminder today to let go of control over other people's actions. After all, it's impossible!

Here are things you could do today to stop feeling overwhelmed.

Our latest blog talks about real, tangible things that you can do when that panic starts to bubble up through an acronym: RAIN.

🌧️🌧️🌧️

R – Recognize what’s going on

A – Allow the experience to be there, just as it is

I – Investigate with kindness

N – Natural awareness which comes from not identifying with the experience

Those feelings are a normal part of being human, but they can be crippling when we don't understand how to sort through them. Having all the resources in your pocket for when these times come can help you take charge and get your life back on track.

Are you doing the work to heal your inner child? 🎈

Those wounds will remain until we take the time to examine and deal with them the right way. In the meantime, there are practical things like these that we can do to help ourselves.

It's hard to realize these need work until someone points it out. 🙈

If you have any more questions about this inner child work, send us a DM! We would love to answer any questions that you may have or get you started in a 15-minute consult. 📞

27/06/2021

There is a reason for you. You matter. 🙂

Remember that as you go about your day today. YOU, specifically, matter.

If you are relating to these, it's time to seek out a counselor. ⁠
⁠
Knowing who is the right fit for you is going to be a personal preference. Here at The Well House, we would hope that you feel comfortable coming to us in any state.

Therapy is most definitely for everyone.

If we aren't the place for you, don't let that deter you from seeking help. We have a community of therapists that specialize in all kinds of issues.

Have you been putting off taking care of yourself? 💆

Don't let another day go by. Take back your life. Take back your peace and seek counseling today.

23/06/2021

This one is a tough one for us people pleasers.

Letting go of our perceived control over other people's happiness is sometimes physically painful. You THINK it will bring you fulfillment if you juuuuust can make this person or that person happy, but what happens when you still feel empty?

Or what if you can't?

You could just run yourself absolutely ragged trying to be the person that props up others' happiness. OR you could learn to let it go. Either way, you are not ever responsible for that.

Let it go, friend, and live a more peaceful life.

20/06/2021

What might that time and space look like?

Questions to ask yourself: How do I recharge, with people or alone? Do you need movement or stillness? How long do you need and how often?

Your answers might change day to day, but these are good questions to ask when you are feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. ⁠It is important to be checking in!

✨Share this with someone that could use some encouragement today.

This might explain why counselors are so awkward in public. 👇🏼⁠
⁠
We can’t say hi or introduce you to our friends (if you say hi first) because this would compromise your confidentiality. It’s not that we don’t want to say hello, it’s that we can’t. ⁠
⁠
Even walking up to you and saying “hi” would reveal that we have a relationship (i.e. that I know you, and you know me). This might put you in an uncomfortable situation if others ask you to explain our relationship ⁠
⁠
🤔 “Hey, isn’t that the counselor off White’s Chapel?” 🤔 "How do you know her?."⁠
⁠
So if we have had an awkward encounter with you in public, just know this is why. We aren't socially awkward naturally 😅 (at least we would like to hope we aren't)!⁠

This weekend, take a moment to remember that you've got this.⁠ ⁠ Whatever happened this week, take a deep breath in and let it go out with that exhale. I'm serious! Deep breath in...and out. 💆🏻 Doesn't that feel just a little bit better? Breathing exercises may not create world peace, but they can bring your own mind back to the center. Positive affirmations like this are also amazing! If you are able to tell yourself positive phrases like this every day, you will be amazed at how you start to believe them a little bit more every time. Be kind to yourself!
