This is a chance for us to share therapy with clients who need our support.

It's the door to start therapy at an affordable rate when insurance will not cover sessions.

It's the peace of mind that a client will have working with a therapist they can truly relate to.

It's the opportunity to receive support in long lasting ways.

As we approach the season of love we ask you to consider sharing yours to those who could really benefit from your purchase of this tote. It not only includes a digital journal and a mystery therapy tool crafted by the team, but the proceeds goes towards us ensuring clients running into financial hardship can keep working with their ideal therapists.

Check out the link in our bio for details and thank you so much for the support💜

🌦️Understanding Seasonal Depression: You’re Not Alone🌦️

January may feel long and never ending, but it is important to note that some of us may find ourselves feeling unusually tired, sad, or unmotivated. This could be more than just the “winter blues.” It might be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)-a type of depression that follows the change in seasons.

Common signs of SAD:
• Low energy or fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating
• Changes in sleep patterns (sleeping too much or too little
• Increased cravings for carbohydrates or weight changes
• Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness.

How to manage SAD:
🌞Spend time outdoors or near natural light
🧘🏽‍♀️Try light therapy
💪🏼Stay active with regular exercise
🗓️Stick to a consistent routine
🗣️Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist

Remember, you don’t have to face this alone. If you’re struggling, Compassionate Talk Therapy is here to help. Together, we can find ways to bring light back into your life.

Let’s talk.

Navigating Family Holidays with DBT Skills✨🍂

The holidays can bring up so many emotions such as joy, stress, or even conflict. These DBT skills can help you prepare, stay grounded, and find balance during the season:

1️⃣Cope ahead: Visualize tough situations and plan how you’ll handle them with calm and confidence.

2️⃣Set realistic expectations: Let go of perfection and focus on what truly matters.

3️⃣Take a breather: Step away when needed to reset and recharge, even if just for a few minutes.

4️⃣Focus on gratitude: Notice the small joys-a kind word, a shared laugh, or a peaceful moment.

5️⃣Check the facts: Before reacting, ask yourself if your feelings are based on facts or assumptions.

The key to thriving this holiday season is self-compassion and intentional care. You’ve got this!💛 We at Compassionate Talk Therapy are also here to support you, just reach out either here or on our website compassionatetalktherapy.com
