Emotional numbness can feel confusing and hard to name.

Sometimes distress doesn’t show up as tears, panic, or obvious overwhelm.
Sometimes it looks like going through the motions. Feeling disconnected. Not knowing what you’re feeling at all.

Numbness isn’t the absence of emotion — it can be your nervous system shifting into protection mode.

If this feels familiar, small, gentle moments of reconnection can help. No pressure to fix anything. Just noticing.

Valentine’s Day can bring up a lot.

For some, it’s joyful. For others, it can amplify loneliness, comparison, grief, or relationship anxiety.

If today feels heavy, it doesn’t mean you’re left out or behind. It just means this day lands differently for you.

Love isn’t limited to romance. It can look like self-compassion, reaching out to a friend, spending time with family, doing something kind for someone else, creating something meaningful, or simply letting yourself rest.

However this day meets you — you are worthy of care and connection. 🤍

February is Eating Disorder Awareness Month.

Body image struggles don’t always look obvious. They can be quiet, internal, and deeply isolating.

Struggling with body image isn’t superficial — and it’s not a character flaw. There is always context. Cultural pressure, perfectionism, trauma, stress, and nervous system overwhelm can all shape how we relate to our bodies.

Healing isn’t about forcing body positivity. It’s about reducing shame and building a safer, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing education, resources, and ways to access support.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. 🤍

Research consistently shows that the relationship you have with your therapist is one of the most important parts of therapy.

Finding a therapist — whether for the first time or starting fresh — can feel intimidating. Beyond availability or cost, it helps to look for someone who has experience in the areas you want support around and to notice how you feel when you’re in the room with them.

It’s also completely normal to have preferences around things like age, gender, background, or communication style — feeling comfortable matters.

Feeling comfortable, understood, and respected often develops as rapport builds over the first few sessions — and that’s a normal part of the process.

If you’re searching for a therapist, or wondering if your current one is the right fit, these are helpful things to keep in mind.

Astrology can be a powerful tool for self-understanding.

At Colors of Austin Counseling, these readings create a thoughtful space to explore:

✨ patterns in relationships
✨ emotional rhythms

Facilitated by one of our licensed clinicians, astrology readings provide a reflective and supportive space for exploration. While not a replacement for therapy, they can be a complementary way to deepen self-understanding.

We move through a lot of our days on autopilot.

Pausing to ask a few honest questions — both reflective and positive — can reveal more than pushing through another busy week.

You don’t have to have the answers right away. Noticing what comes up is a place to start.

A gentle reminder that the people who seem the most “okay” are often carrying more than we realize.

The ones who never ask for help.
The ones who keep showing up for everyone else.
The ones who say they’re “fine.”

A small check-in can mean more than you think.

A text. A call. A “hey, I’ve been thinking about you.”

Sometimes support starts with simply noticing.

We’re grateful to have Claudia on our team offering bilingual therapy in Spanish and English.

For many people, being able to speak in Spanish during therapy simply feels more natural, comfortable, and grounding.

If you or someone you know is looking for a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist in Austin, you can book with Claudia through the link in our bio.

We’re really good at turning coping patterns into personality labels.

“I’m just like this.”
“I’ve always been this way.”
“That’s just my personality.”

But a lot of these patterns started as ways to protect ourselves, adapt, or survive.

And they made sense then.

The interesting part is noticing which ones still serve you — and which ones might be worth gently re-examining.

No fixing. No judging. Just understanding.

Black History Month is a time to honor the history, resilience, and immeasurable contributions of Black individuals and communities.

It’s also a time to hold honest awareness of the ways systemic inequities continue to affect mental health, access to care, and overall wellbeing.

At Colors of Austin Counseling, we believe culturally responsive and affirming care is not a trend or a statement — it’s an ongoing responsibility.

This month and always, we commit to listening, learning, and showing up with intention in the work we do and the care we provide.

Not everyone starts therapy because they’re in crisis.

A lot of people start because they want to grow, reflect, reset, or have space to think out loud without judgment.

Therapy can be about understanding yourself, improving relationships, navigating change, or simply having consistent support during a busy season of life.

Which of these feels most relatable right now?
