Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday! This week let’s talk about how important it is to recharge from our daily stressors!

When your phone battery hits 20% you panic, but when you hit 2% you push yourself to keep going.
Friendly reminder: you are not a robot. Take a break before you crash. Recharge often (yes, even multiple times a day) so you don’t run on fumes.

Why it matters:
👉🏽 Running on empty makes you irritable, unfocused, and disconnected.
👉🏽 Consistent recharging = more energy, patience, and presence.
👉🏽 You’ll show up better for yourself and everyone else.

Ways to recharge your battery:
• Step outside for fresh air ☀️
• Take a 5-min stretch or walk 🚶🏽‍♀️
• Listen to a song that makes you feel alive 🎶
• Power nap or deep breathing break 😌
• Sip water, tea, or a calming drink 🫖
• Journal, doodle, or brain dump 🖊️
• Quick gratitude check-in 🙏🏽

Because self-care isn’t selfish — it’s how you keep your internal battery running strong. 🔋✨

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday!
This week let’s talk about how to protect your peace!

You have the power to protect your peace 🌿✨
That power lives in the choices you make every day—
who you let into your space, what you give your energy to, and what you decide to walk away from.

Protecting your peace isn’t about avoiding life—it’s about honoring your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Because when your peace is guarded, your mind feels clearer, your emotions feel steadier, and your body feels less tense and weighed down.
Stress lowers, sleep improves, energy returns.

It’s saying no without guilt, taking breaks without apology, and setting boundaries without explanation.

Your peace is worth defending.
It’s not selfish.
It’s survival.
And it’s the foundation for everything you want to grow. 🌸

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday! This week, let’s talk making intentional choices!

Making choices that impact our life are not about being right or wrong; some decisions can either lift you up or weigh you down. It's about being intentional with your choices—whether they nurture your mental well-being or drain your energy. When you consciously decide what serves your peace and what doesn't, you take control of your mental health. Intentional choices create space for growth, balance, and self-compassion.
Instead of getting caught up in perfection, ask yourself: 'Is this helping or hurting me?' Choose with purpose, because every decision shapes your journey. Your mind and heart deserve that care. 🩷💜

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday! This week, let’s talk about how survival patterns learned over time may not be helpful anymore.

Many of us adapted to survive – emotionally, mentally, even physically. Maybe that looked like shutting down, over-explaining, overworking, people-pleasing, or avoiding. These coping strategies weren’t wrong — they protected you when you needed them most. But what once kept you safe might now be keeping you stuck today.
⠀
Survival mode can feel like constant overwhelm, emotional numbness, hyper-independence, or always being “on edge.” If that sounds familiar, it might be your body signaling that it’s still living in past patterns.
⠀
💭 What can help?
• Pause and notice: Are you reacting or choosing?
• Get curious, not critical: Ask yourself what this reaction protected you from in the past.
• Practice safety in small ways: Slow down your breathing, set a boundary, or ask for help – even when it feels uncomfortable.
⠀
Healing isn’t about rejecting the version of you that survived — it’s about reassuring that part of you that it’s safe to live differently now.
⠀
✨ You don’t owe your past survival patterns your future. Be intentional. Be gentle. And remember, you get to choose a life that feels safe and free.

We deeply value our interns and the meaningful work they do each day—not only in supporting our clients, but in growing into compassionate, thoughtful clinicians.
This snapshot from intern supervision says it all: dedication, connection, and a little bit of real life in the mix (yes, those are their beautiful babies!) 💛
Grateful for our interns and supervisors who create spaces where learning, laughter, and life can all exist together.

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday! This week, let’s talk about regulating our nervous system when we are in the Fight/Flight State.

Refer back to our previous post for more information on your nervous system.

🔴 Fight/Flight (Sympathetic state) - anxious, angry, restless

The goal of this state is to discharge the energy you are feeling and return to safety.
The signs you can notice are:
- racing thoughts, anxiety, panic, irritability
- physical tension, shallow breathing
- urge to act, flee, or fight (being defensive/accusing)

Techniques:
Movement- Based:
• Cardio - walking,running, dancing
• Shaking or jumping (to discharge adrenaline)

Breath-work:
• Long exhale breathing (inhale for 4 - exhale for 6-8)
• Box breathing (4 in - 4 hold - 4 out - 4 hold)

Grounding tools:
• name 5 things you see, feel, hear, taste, or smell
• Hold something cold (ice, cold water splash)

Orienting
• Turn your head slowly and notice your environment (safe scanning)

Soothing touch
• Hand on Heart
• Butterfly Hug

Affirmations of safety:
• “I am safe right now”
• “This feeling will pass”

Learning to recognize when you are not regulated in your nervous system and then learning how to regulate especially when you are feeling responsive - like arguing or isolating - can help bring your more clarity when facing triggering or difficult situations. Try these regulation techniques to help bring your nervous team back to safety!

We will discuss how to regulate in the other stages in the upcoming weeks!
