Humanistic Psychologists of Chicago

At Humanistic Psychologists of Chicago, we pause today to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King’s influence reaches far beyond history books. He reminded us that our shared humanity is stronger than fear, division, or hatred—and that real change begins within how we see and treat one another.

His work teaches us that justice is inseparable from compassion, that healing is both personal and collective, and that we are responsible for one another’s dignity. In therapy, we see this truth daily: when people feel seen, valued, and connected, growth becomes possible.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

May we continue striving toward empathy over judgment, connection over isolation, and courage over complacency—in our communities, our relationships, and ourselves.

What if each day we set the intention to give something meaningful back to our fellow humans? Imagine the collective impact of small acts! Kindness to a stranger, patience with someone struggling, grace instead of criticism, compassion toward ourselves. It’s easy to feel powerless as individuals, but these subtle shifts change us… and they change the world.
At HPC, we strive to be the good, see the good, and spread the good; in service of our shared humanity.

Winter feels heavier this year. The days are shorter, and the darkness seems to linger a little longer. Add in all that is happening in the world around us and in our own challenging lives.

Seek support from others, we don’t have to do this alone. We at HPC are here if you need us.

Did you know that practicing gratitude can do wonders for both your mind and body? 🌱 Research shows that regularly acknowledging the things we’re grateful for can boost mood, reduce stress, and even improve sleep. When we focus on the positive, our brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which help improve our overall sense of well-being.

But the benefits don’t stop there! Gratitude has been linked to lower blood pressure, improved heart health, and a stronger immune system. By shifting our focus from what’s lacking to what we already have, we cultivate resilience, increase emotional balance, and enhance our relationships.

How to start? Simple! Take a few minutes each day to write down or reflect on 3 things you’re grateful for. Whether big or small, this small practice can make a world of difference in how you feel.

Remember: Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you.” It’s about creating a mindset that helps you thrive, mentally and physically. 💛 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at HPC! www.humanisticpsychchicago.com
