🤗

Sometimes healing looks like:
• Asking for help
• Saying “not today”
• Taking a break from fixing
• Sitting with a feeling instead of pushing it away

All of those count.

You’re allowed to step back from media, conversations, and expectations right now.

Protecting your nervous system isn’t avoidance — it’s wisdom.

When stress runs high, our brains crave certainty.

When certainty feels unavailable, compassion becomes even more important — toward others and yourself.

You don’t have to carry everything alone.

Be safe, y’all. I did a test run to the office and felt comfortable going slow. I’m happy to switch to telehealth for anyone though. The roads are still rough outside the city.

Weather Update ❄️ REOPENING

Road conditions have improved, and LITD Trauma Counseling will be open during normal business hours tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27th for in-person sessions.

That said, we understand everyone’s comfort level is different. If you feel unsafe traveling, telehealth is absolutely available—your care and safety come first.

Please reach out via text or your client portal if you’d like to switch your session to telehealth or have any questions. We’re glad to be back and appreciate everyone’s flexibility over the past few days.

Weather Update ❄️ Office Closure

Road conditions remain very unsafe, and with temperatures staying below freezing, we are not expecting meaningful improvement as nothing is melting.

For everyone’s safety, LITD Trauma Counseling will be closed for in-person sessions tomorrow (Monday) and will most likely remain closed Tuesday as well. We will continue to closely monitor road conditions and will update clients as soon as a final decision is made for Tuesday.

All Monday sessions will move to telehealth, and clients will receive their session links as usual.

We know disruptions like this can be frustrating, and we truly appreciate your flexibility. Our priority is keeping clients and clinicians safe while still showing up with care and consistency.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need support adjusting plans. Be well, warm, and safe.

I’m definitely taking it slower. I hope your spirit receives rest today. 🩷

Rest is not quitting.
Rest is how the nervous system heals.

If today needs to be slower or quieter, that’s okay.
Grace applies here too.

Weather Update ❄️ Early Closure

Due to forecasted winter weather expected to begin early this afternoon, LITD Trauma Counseling will be closing in-person services today at 1:00 PM.

All afternoon sessions will move to telehealth. Clients scheduled after 1:00 PM will receive access links and instructions as usual.

This decision was made with safety in mind while still ensuring continuity of care. If you have questions or need support adjusting your session, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your flexibility and care for one another.

You can feel gratitude and grief.
Hope and anger.
Strength and exhaustion.

Conflicting emotions don’t mean something is wrong with you — they mean you’re human.

At LITD, we hold space for complexity without judgment.

Inclement Weather Update ❄️

At this time, we are closely monitoring the weather expected for Friday through the weekend.

Our current plan is to remain open and available for in-person therapy sessions as scheduled. That said, telehealth is always an option for anyone who prefers—or feels more comfortable—meeting virtually.

We will make a final decision regarding any closures by 8:00 AM Friday morning and will notify all scheduled clients directly if plans change. Should we close for in-person sessions, all appointments will be offered via telehealth.

Your safety matters to us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or would like to switch to telehealth. Be well, warm, and safe.

Alright…grounding with Lo**ta on deck! What do you notice?

When overwhelm rises, grounding helps bring you back to the present.

Look at this image and imagine...
• What does the candle smell like?
• What are things you can touch?
• What do you hear in this room?

Simple tools can make a meaningful difference. Save this for later.

“Blessed are the peacemakers…” — Matthew 5:9

Peace is not silence.
It is the courage to seek truth, integrity, and restoration.

May we be people who hold grief, justice, and hope together.

Many in our community are carrying more than usual right now.

Journal Prompt:
What do I need most to feel steady today?

It might be rest.
It might be reassurance.
It might be support.

Listening to your nervous system is an act of wisdom.
