💙 Happy School Counseling Week 2026

School counselors don’t just support students — they stabilize systems.

They are often the first to notice when something is off, the steady presence during crises, and the quiet architects of student growth. From academic guidance to mental health support to family partnership, their work keeps schools functioning and students moving forward.

This week is a reminder of what many of us already know:
Schools don’t work without strong school counseling programs.

Thank you to every school counselor showing up—day after day—for students, families, and school communities.

Therapy isn’t about beating your mind or dodging hard thoughts. It’s about learning how to take hits, breathe, stay present, identify what’s important to you, and keep moving toward what matters—without letting your mind run the fight.

Same brain.
Different relationship.

I’m incredibly excited to share some amazing news about my friend Rob Janicke, who has written an outstanding book about 90’s rock music! I had the honor of contributing to this project by offering psychological perspectives on the cultural and emotional impact of the era’s music and artists.

Rob did an amazing job illustrating how 90’s rock shaped identity, connection, and expression. I’m thrilled to see how it all came together in . This book is more than a tribute to an iconic decade—it’s an in-depth look at the deeper ways music influences our lives.

Congratulations on this remarkable achievement Rob!

“Rather than forcing positive thoughts to eliminate negative ones, we are often better advised to learn how to step back from our thoughts (both negative and positive ones) and use useful ones. And rather than controlling our feelings, or trying to relax them away, we can learn to embrace them and learn from them, while focusing our actions on what we truly care about.”

Research on acceptance and commitment therapy recently passed an important milestone. Here's what we know about the state of ACT after 1000 randomized controlled trials.
