Ever feel haunted by the need to make everyone happy?
The people-pleasing cycle can feel like a spooky spell —
you say “yes” to keep the peace, feel relief for a moment…
and then p**f! resentment creeps back in.

Let’s break the spell! 🧙‍♀️ 💫

Ever heard of Junk Journaling? One of our LPC clinicians, Nicole (also art therapist extraordinaire 🖼️ 🎨) tells us all about her group this summer.

“Hi - Nicole here! Over the summer, I ran a middle school girls process group with my co-leader, Natalie. This group was centered around junk journaling - my new favorite way to express myself and document recent happenings in my life. Each of the girls (including Natalie and myself) brought in what some may perceive as “junk” to include in our journals from our lives that week. We brought things like receipts, order stickers from coffee shops, and printed pictures. During group, we processed our week, explored anxiety about the upcoming transition to middle school, and practiced social skills in a fun, relaxing environment. We used our group room and spread out every kind of art supply you can think of - and you can be sure there was excessive use of glitter glue and silly stickers. It was so fun to see how creative everyone got with what they’d bring in and how they’d style it on each spread! If you’re looking for your own junk journal inspiration, I recommend searching it on Instagram and Pinterest.”

One Friday a month, we try to get together as a group to dish about all sorts of things. You cannot have a gabfest without a few snacks and some beverages to sample. Delicious treats and processing OCD behaviors = a dream!

Is Dirty Soda even a trend if you don’t try it? 🥤 🧀 🍇

This weeks therapy strategy is from one of our LPCs, Becca Ryberg. She gives us a quick highlight of EMDR (also a therapy buzz phrase) and a helpful strategy on “containing” our painful memories or feelings.

Though EMDR is a trauma based treatment, many can benefit from giving this a try.

“DBT” (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) isn’t just a buzzword/phrase in therapy; it is one of the most successfully proven evidence based treatments that helps us manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

In this video, Michelle tells us about “chain analysis”—a technique that increases understanding regarding specific events, thoughts, and feelings that lead to problematic behavior.

Do you have lots of intense feelings and can’t figure out where to put them or how to process them? DBT might be for you. 💜

Setting a boundary isn’t being mean, cutting people out, or avoiding all conflict. It means that you are setting rules for yourself to protect your heart and mind ♥️ 🧠 through communicating your needs and limits. The tricky part? The recipient doesn’t have to respect them….. 😒

Our lovely clinician Nazy will tell you all about it! 🌙 🗣️
