Surviving the Holidays While Grieving by Janet K Johnson is one of three books about grieving that I use in my therapy practice. This is a book filled with not only ideas for managing emotions on the journey of grief, it also contains hands-on activities for expressing feelings in tangible ways and tips for communicating feelings with others. Filled with ideas about how to keep meaningful traditions, while creating new memories about their loved ones, it helps readers find hope, healing, and inner joy. I highly recommend this book & it’s going on free on Amazon on 11/19/24 for 5 days! Look in the comment section for the link. Even if you’re not grieving this book is a great resource for the future. ❤️💜♥️

Grief the Unwanted Journey is a book I keep on my coffee table of my office to give away to my clients. With all the tragedy & loss going on in our country this bad and her children’s book are great books to have on hand. I actually buy several at a time & give as a gift with a condolence card. Please follow author Janet K Johnson author & buy her books to share with a hurting world.

On today’s episode, we welcome Janet Johnson: God used the passing of her son to bring new hope. God used her Romans 8:28 story to help and bless others release their pain. In the midst of her suffering, in the midst of her brokenness God revealed a new ministry to her, to bring healing to […]

I am going to share a little more about my work. My office is in the Hill Country on 3 acres covered by Oaks & Cedar. It’s quite hilly & I sometimes do walk & talks with my teens on our trails. But I wanted to introduce you to Little Prince. He is my rescue Cairn Terrier & works with me every day. LP was very malnourished running the streets of New Braunfels about 8 years ago. He’s the perfect dog for a therapy practice & he’s also sweet to my clients who bring their dog such as this sweet little white Maltese. I’m blessed to have my practice in a very beautiful setting in nature. It’s super private & quiet. Have you ever brought your dog to therapy?

Pray. Trust. Wait. Means to “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV Clients share with me that they pray & that they’re not getting any answers, what should I do? I believe in praying, trusting & thanking God for answering & then WAIT! Do not make a change until you get an answer. No answer yet does not necessarily mean no. It just means keep on the same path until you’re given confirmation for a change. That’s belief in action, when you trust & wait on Him for guidance.
