resilience, and connection at any stage. Through play, drawing, and storytelling, children learn to express their big feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and enhance their communication and confidence.

Seeking help early can prevent bigger challenges
and show your child it’s always okay to ask for support. If you’re looking for a therapist, we have a new intern therapist, Ginny Bishop, who specializes in working with children. Contact us for more information. https://journeyscounselingaz.com/contact

Suicidal thoughts often come from intense emotional pain, not a desire to end life. One way to support someone is simply to be present and listen without judgment. You can also offer gentle encouragement, share helpful resources, or just sit with them, letting them know they are seen, valued, and not alone as they navigate this difficult time.

Building a secure attachment isn’t just about emotional closeness; instead, it’s about creating a foundation of trust, respect, and healthy boundaries. Daily practices like mindful check-ins, expressing needs clearly, and gratitude journaling help reinforce secure attachment and create healthier patterns in relationships.

Remember, it’s okay to seek support and take time for self-care. By fostering secure attachment, we can build stronger, more resilient connections with ourselves and others.

Healing avoidant attachment is not about losing your independence instead it’s about learning to lean in with awareness and intention. Here’s how you can begin:
• Balance independence with connection. Embrace your need for space and your desire for intimacy.

• Practice self-awareness. Notice when emotional closeness triggers a retreat—and learn to pause, breathe, reflect.

• Vulnerability, at your pace. Share your feelings slowly and gently with those you trust.

• Seek consistent support. Safe relationships allow space to explore, express, and heal relational patterns 

Healing doesn’t mean never feeling guarded instead, it’s trusting that you can open, deepen, and belong.

Anxious attachment often forms in childhood when love and attention felt inconsistent—sometimes present, sometimes withdrawn. To stay connected, the nervous system learns to stay on high alert: seeking reassurance, fearing abandonment, and overanalyzing disconnection.

In adulthood, this can look like:
— Fear of being “too much”
— Difficulty trusting stability in relationships
— Anxiety when communication shifts
— A deep need for closeness, paired with fear it won’t last

These patterns aren’t flaws—they’re protective adaptations. And they can be reshaped.

Healing anxious attachment means learning to self-regulate, set boundaries, name your needs, and build trust with safe, responsive people.

Over time, you can move from anxious connection to secure, grounded love—within yourself and with others.

We often feel this quiet pressure to keep pushing, ignoring exhaustion and putting off rest “for later.” But that rest rarely shows up on its own. Instead, we end up burned out, anxious, and tied to the idea that our worth depends on how much we do.

But here’s the truth: doing less isn’t giving up. It’s a powerful act of self-care. Saying no, choosing rest, or simply pausing lets our mind and body reset. These small moments aren’t just breaks they’re where real healing starts.

Like nature, we need seasons of stillness to grow. Whether it’s resting, asking for help, or slowing down, these pauses ground us and remind us that our value isn’t tied to constant productivity. Sometimes, doing less is exactly what helps us move forward with clarity and strength.

Healing isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t have to happen all at once. Here are some gentle reminders that might help along the way:

1. Understand What You’re Going Through
Knowing that your body and mind are responding to trauma can bring some relief

2. Create Small Moments of Safety
Find places or people where you can just be yourself, without needing to explain or perform.

3. Use Simple Tools to Ground Yourself
Breathing deeply, noticing your surroundings, or gentle movement can help settle the nervous system when things feel overwhelming.

4. Reach Out When It Feels Right
Whether it’s a friend, family member, or someone who gets it, having someone nearby can make a difference.

Summer break can feel like unfamiliar territory for both parents and teens. With more free time and fewer routines, your teen might start to change in ways that feel surprising or even a little worrying. That’s completely natural—and part of their journey.

Exploring new interests and ideas is how teens begin to understand themselves. When they try something new, gently staying curious and asking simple questions can help them feel seen and accepted.

Giving them some space to make choices while keeping a few shared understandings can create a comforting balance.

Respecting their privacy while inviting relaxed, easy moments together—like a quiet walk or grabbing a favorite snack—can help keep your connection strong.

Supporting their independence with things like summer jobs or creative projects, and allowing room for mistakes, helps them grow at their own pace.

Showing how you take care of your feelings and practice self-kindness offers a quiet example for them to follow.

With gentle patience and steady love, this summer can become a time of growth and trust for your whole family. You’re not alone on this path. Read more on our blog: https://journeyscounselingaz.com/blog/teen-independence-summer-parenting
