Dissociation is often misunderstood. It can look like zoning out, losing track of time, feeling disconnected from your body, or even going on “autopilot.” But at its core, it’s a nervous system response to overwhelm.

If you find yourself dissociating more than you’d like to, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Our therapists at Creative Healing are trained to gently support clients through trauma-informed care that helps you reconnect with yourself at your own pace.

📍 You're accepted here.

We are so happy to sponsor the Western Wisconsin Women's Business Center conference tomorrow. Our donation allowed entrepreneurs and business owners who may not be able to attend this event, to receive a ticket to the event. We recognize the support and community one needs when they’re opening their own business and how this can have a dramatic impact on our mental health. Having a community can be a protective factor 💚

We're excited to see you all at the 22nd Annual Women's Business Conference at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire on Wednesday, Nov. 12! A big THANK YOU to our scholarship sponsors Creative Healing Mental Health Center, CLA CliftonLarsonAllen and Crescendo Fundraising Professionals LLC for supporting our annual conference and entrepreneurship in our region! Thanks to YOU, we can provide numerous scholarships to students and low-income individuals this year.

Your past is part of you, not the whole of you. You belong to your story, but you also belong beyond it. Growth isn’t about replacing your past...it’s owning your presence.

Adult ADHD doesn’t always look like classic hyperactivity. It can look like endless list‑making, constant “what ifs,” or anxiety that won’t quit. If this resonates, then know the right support can help you find calm in the chaos. 🤍

Therapy has room for laughter, tears, wiggles, silence, and all the in‑between. You don’t have to sit perfectly still or be totally composed to be healing. Your body, your pace, your way.

When we experience a tragic loss, especially in children, we may be met with shock, disbelief and overwhelming grief and heartbreak. It can be confusing, overwhelming and uncertainty as a parent. Questioning what we could have done different. And when our children ask questions or are trying to navigate it, we can feel stuck, worried about saying the "right" or "wrong" thing.

Processing grief and shock can look different for everyone. One of the best ways to process big events is connection, feeling it in our body and talking it through. Allowing this space for your child.

When we approach conversations from from a compassionate, caring way; we can offer space for healing. It's ok to not have the perfect words. It's ok to sit with your child and be the grounded presence they need. Offering the support for your child as they navigate this experience.

If we need the words, offering gentle support and questions can let your child know it is ok to talk about it.
"I heard about the loss, how you are feeling about what happened?"
"I'm here for you."
"What's coming up for you?"
"What can I do for you in this moment?"
“It’s okay to feel sad, confused, angry, or even nothing right now.”
"What questions do you have?"

Together, you can process the loss. If you or your child could benefit from extra support, we are here for you. You are not alone in this.

We often focus on what’s wrong, but what if we paused and asked: What already feels right? Use this prompt to tune into your "peace‑signal," and then pick one small step to lean into it.

You’ve probably heard that EMDR helps with trauma, but here’s what no one tells you...

✨ EMDR doesn’t erase your memories. It changes how your brain and body respond to them.
✨ It’s not all about eye movements. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation in ways that fit you.
✨ Sometimes the healing feels subtle, and other times it’s deeply emotional. Both are valid.
✨ You don’t have to relive your trauma to heal from it. Safety and pacing are always honored.

If you’ve been curious about EMDR but unsure what to expect, we’re here to answer your questions and support you every step of the way.
