✨ HOLIDAY CHECK-IN: How Are You Really Feeling? ✨

The holiday season brings up different emotions for each of us — joy, stress, nostalgia, overwhelm, or sometimes all of the above at once. There’s no “right” way to feel during this time.

POLL:
“This season brings me…”
✨ Peace
😅 Stress
🌗 A mix of both
🤷🏽‍♀️ Not sure yet

Take a moment to vote — you’re not alone in your experience.

And if you’re feeling a little stretched thin, here’s a quick reset you can use anytime:

🌬️ 10-Second Grounding Reset
• Inhale for 4
• Hold for 2
• Exhale for 6
• Drop your shoulders
• Unclench your jaw
• Remind yourself: “I’m allowed to slow down.”

You deserve a moment of calm. 💛
Save this for later — and share it with someone who might need a gentle pause today.

Lauren Fields supports individuals carrying the invisible weight of ADHD, complex trauma, and painful relationship histories. Many of her clients are survivors of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, or sexual assault, seeking to reconnect with themselves and rebuild trust.

She offers a compassionate, trauma-informed space where every story is honored. Using EMDR therapy, neurodivergent-affirming strategies, and evidence-based tools, Lauren helps clients process trauma, release survival patterns, and restore a sense of safety.

With a deep respect for cultural identity and diversity, she believes healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reclaiming your voice, power, and peace within.

Some experiences run deeper than traditional sessions can reach. Retreats and therapy intensives provide extended time and focused support to help you process, release, and reconnect in a more immersive way.

They’re designed for when you’re ready to dig beneath the surface — to heal patterns, address unresolved trauma, or reconnect with yourself in a safe, intentional environment.

This is your space to pause, breathe, and grow with full attention and care. 🌿

Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming — but small, steady steps can make a big difference. Try these tools to start creating calm in social spaces:

✨ Ground yourself: Focus on your breath or the feeling of your feet on the floor.
💭 Challenge anxious thoughts: Ask, “What’s the evidence this will go badly?”
🤝 Start small: Practice short interactions — small talk, eye contact, or brief meetings.
❤️ Celebrate progress: Every moment you try is a win.

Growth takes practice, not perfection. With time and support, confidence will follow.

🌿 Ready to work through social anxiety with compassionate guidance? Connect with Kaafi Counseling today.

Trauma can make you feel stuck — like your mind keeps replaying the same painful moment over and over. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain process those memories safely, reducing their emotional intensity and helping you feel more in control.

It’s not about forgetting what happened; it’s about healing your response so the past no longer defines your present. 🌿

If you’re ready to explore EMDR therapy and start your healing journey, reach out to Kaafi Counseling. We’re here to help you find peace at your own pace.
