There are a lot of horrible things happening in our world today, and we have access to all of it on our phone. Many of us are feeling numb, like these tragedies don't affect us anymore. This feeling is often associated with guilt. However, feeling numb doesn’t mean you don’t care! It often means your nervous system is overwhelmed and protecting you.

This post is informed by the blog “Feeling Numb to the News? Why Emotional Detachment Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Care” by Isis Flores, LPC, a clinician here at Sage.

In the therapy world, it has always been common to hear folks struggling with how to navigate feelings of overwhelm. In the current sociopolitical climate, that couldn’t be more true.

Let’s have a chat from a values-based perspective to explore ways to honor your body and brain’s messages and invite in a brainstorm to get unstuck.

Let us know in the comments below what ideas you came up with or if you need help figuring out a values-based choice!

Anxiety struggles related to the political climate and world events have always existed, particularly for marginalized populations. In a moment that feels particularly heavy and polarizing, we thought we’d remind you that therapy can be a great space to process feelings of overwhelm about things outside of your control, not only in your personal life, but as a member of society. If you need more, please check out the link below for our blog post that dives more deeply into this topic. ✊🏽💚🫶🏽

Looking for healthier ways to cope with anger? Sign up for our new Men’s Anger Management Group beginning mid-March! This weekly group will look to provide psychoeducation regarding emotional regulation, coping skills, triggers, as well as be a supportive space to process various feelings and experiences.

The purpose of this group is to offer a safe and supportive space for men to dive deep into their anger and other difficult emotions, better understand where their triggers stem from, and how to effectively move forward in moments of dysregulation. Members will learn a variety of coping skills and share experiences in how they have historically dealt with and can better manage angry feelings.

During Black History Month, let’s not only honor the incredible contributions and achievements of Black individuals, but also recognize the layers of identity that shape experiences. Intersectionality reminds us that race, gender, class, ability, and other aspects of who we are intersect, creating unique challenges and strengths. Every story is different, and all deserve to be celebrated. ✊🏾💫

As the new year begins, the language we use around grief can feel heavier. Saying “I lost X last year” shifts the weight of grief in ways we often don’t expect. It marks not just the pain of loss, but the full year that’s passed without them. Grief doesn’t disappear with the turning of a calendar, and it’s okay if it still feels fresh. There’s no timeline for healing, no “right” way to move forward. Society may expect us to “move on,” but grief isn’t linear. It’s okay to carry the weight of that love, even as the world keeps moving. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means learning to live with the love and loss that shape us. 💙
