Sometimes, all we can do is snuggle up with anxiety and take a nap.

We take therapy dog training very seriously around here. We breathe, eat and sleep mental health.

A trigger is a sign you’ve lived through something difficult. Just know that it’s okay to still get activated. What matters is how you respond to yourself in those moments. Let that be where the healing happens. ✨

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected? These grounding techniques can help bring you back to the present moment:

1️⃣ 5-4-3-2-1 Method – Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
2️⃣ Box Breathing – Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold again for 4. Repeat until your body feels calmer.
3️⃣ Cold Water Splash – Splash your face with cold water or hold an ice cube. This shocks your nervous system and interrupts racing thoughts.
4️⃣ Grounding Object – Carry a small object (a smooth stone, textured fabric, etc.) to touch when you feel disconnected.
5️⃣ Body Scan – Close your eyes and slowly check in with each part of your body. Notice sensations without judgment.
6️⃣ Name & Acknowledge Emotions – Say to yourself: “I feel ___ right now.” Simply naming what you’re feeling can reduce its intensity.

Try one of these grounding techniques each day this week and see what works best for you. Your body and mind are always communicating, and grounding helps you listen.

The fawn response is a lesser-known trauma response where someone learns to appease, people-please, or downplay their own needs in order to stay safe. And you know, it’s more common than you think. 💬

You don’t need to “fix” your nervous system. You need to understand it.

When you know how your body is trying to keep you safe, everything starts to make more sense, and healing becomes less about control and more about curiosity.

Progress doesn’t always feel like progress. Sometimes healing hurts, and not because you’re broken, but because you’re finally feeling. Let this prompt guide you into self-trust, even when the path isn’t clear.

Here’s why asking for help can feel impossible:
✔️ You were praised for being “independent”
✔️ Help wasn’t available when you needed it most
✔️ Vulnerability was punished or ignored
✔️ You fear being a burden

Do any of these sound familiar? Let's talk.

Sometimes, the disconnect from our bodies is so subtle that we don't even notice it. Trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and long-standing patterns of survival mode can leave us numb, checked out, or feeling like a stranger in our own skin.

Here are a few ways therapy supports body reconnection:
→ Increases body awareness: You start tuning in to signals like tension, pain, or fatigue and what they’re trying to tell you.
→ Reduces shame around physical symptoms: You learn to view your body’s responses as information, not flaws.
→ Helps regulate your nervous system: With tools like grounding, breathwork, or EMDR, therapy helps bring the body back to safety.
→ Encourages embodied emotion: You learn to notice where emotions live in your body and how to safely express them.
→ Creates space for self-trust: Over time, you stop fighting your body and begin listening to it with more compassion.

Reconnecting with your body is an act of healing, and you don’t have to do it alone. ✨

Emotional flooding is when your brain becomes overwhelmed and can't process normally. Here are some of the signs to watch for.

Just know your brain is protecting you, and with support, you can learn to regulate and return to safety. 🤍
