It’s that bad that our fire fighters have to go and help in CA!

The holiday season can be filled with magic ✨, but also moments of stress 😰. Take a deep breath, release the pressure, and focus on being present. 🫶 It’s in these moments that the most beautiful memories are made. 💛

🌿 Progress isn’t linear, and that’s okay. 🌿

Healing can sometimes feel like two steps forward, one step back—but every step matters. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed this week, try this grounding exercise to reconnect with the present moment.

Focus on:
👀 5 things you can see
👂 4 things you can hear
🤲 3 things you can touch
👃 2 things you can smell
👅 1 thing you can taste

Take a deep breath—you’ve got this. 💚

Gratitude shifts our perspective, helping us focus on what we have rather than what we lack. This Thanksgiving, take a moment to embrace the beauty in your life and the connections that bring joy and meaning. 🍁

What are you grateful for today?

💔Grief isn’t a straight path—it’s a journey that can feel messy and unpredictable. You might experience denial one day, acceptance the next, and then find yourself back in anger or sadness. That’s okay. Grief is personal, and it doesn’t follow a neat, linear timeline. Let’s explore how these stages can show up in different ways and remind ourselves that healing looks different for everyone.

Today, we honor the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of our veterans. As Mark Twain said, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” To all those who have served, your bravery and dedication inspire us daily.

We’re especially grateful for our very own Mary Hawthorne, a veteran and valued clinician on our Ohana team. Mary, thank you for your service and for continuing to make a difference in the lives of those you work with. We’re so glad you’re part of our Ohana.

To all veterans—thank you for your service. You are seen, appreciated, and celebrated today and every day.

These are the things we wish more people knew as therapists. Often, we carry wounds and patterns from childhood that shape our adult lives, and many of these themes are common experiences shared by so many of us. Remember, healing is possible, and while we can’t change the past, we can always choose how we move forward. 💚
