People think therapy is about fixing what is broken.
It’s not.

It’s about meeting the parts of you that learned to survive when things felt unsafe, overwhelming, or uncertain.
The coping, the guarding, the overthinking—those weren’t flaws. They were protection.

Therapy helps those parts unlearn the belief that they have to stay on high alert forever.
It’s not about becoming someone new.
It’s about giving yourself permission to finally feel safe being who you already are. Come home to yourself at Lakes Counseling and Wellness Center.

✨ NEW OFFERING at Lakes Counseling & Wellness Center ✨
Yoga + Therapy with Rachel & Jen

We’re excited to introduce a monthly Yoga + Therapy class, held on the last Friday of each month, with each session centered around a different emotional wellness topic.

🌀 This Month’s Focus: ANGER

What is Yoga + Therapy?
Yoga + Therapy blends intentional movement, breathwork, and traditional talk therapy into one integrated experience. Instead of working only with the mind or only with the body, we honor the connection between the two.

During this class, we’ll move through grounding, heart-opening, and stabilizing postures designed to help release stored tension and create space for emotional flow. Alongside the movement, our licensed therapist Rachel will guide a supportive conversation exploring:

How anger shows up in the body

Its impact on the nervous system

Healthy, sustainable ways to process and release it

We’ll also integrate somatic techniques to help you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and create a sense of internal safety.

✨ This isn’t just yoga.
✨ It isn’t just talk therapy.
✨ It’s a powerful blend that recognizes anger lives in both the mind and the body—and true healing honors both.

📅 Friday, 1/30
⏰ 8:15–9:30 AM
💲 $40
📍 Lakes Counseling & Wellness Center

⚠️ Space is limited — pre-registration required

When you choose healing, it doesn’t stop with you.

It ripples through your children, grandchildren, and generations you’ll never know. Dysregulation and dis-ease are passed down until someone decides to break the cycle, feel it fully, and heal.

You don’t have to do it alone—therapy can help. 💛 712.336.8126

✨ Powerful Things Your Inner Child Needs to Hear ✨

🖤 You shouldn’t have had to hold so much alone.
You were never meant to carry adult worries, emotional pain, or responsibilities without support. What you felt mattered. What you needed mattered.

Your inner child is the part of you that learned how to survive before it learned how to feel safe. And those early experiences—whether from neglect, criticism, inconsistency, or emotional wounds—don’t just disappear with time. They often show up later as anxiety, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, perfectionism, or difficulty trusting yourself and others.

🌱 This is where therapy can help.
Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to gently reconnect with your inner child, understand where certain patterns began, and offer yourself the compassion you may not have received back then. It helps you reframe old beliefs like “I’m too much” or “I’m not enough” and replace them with healthier, more supportive truths.

💛 Why healing your inner child matters:
• You respond instead of react
• You create healthier boundaries
• You build stronger, safer relationships
• You learn to self-soothe instead of self-abandon
• You begin to feel whole—not broken

Healing your inner child isn’t about blaming the past—it’s about freeing your present. It’s about finally giving yourself permission to rest, to feel, and to be supported.

✨ You didn’t imagine your pain.
✨ You weren’t too sensitive.
✨ And you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

If this resonates, you’re not weak—you’re becoming aware. And awareness is the first step toward healing. 💫 712.336.8126 to schedule an appointment.
