You might know why you feel the way you do but still feel stuck in your body, your reactions, or your emotions. Brainspotting helps you move past that stuck feeling by working with the part of your brain that holds stress, trauma, and emotional pain without needing to relive or explain everything.

At Holistic Consultation, Brainspotting is a gentle but powerful way to help you feel calmer, more connected, and more like yourself again.

Here’s a mental health tip from Holistic therapist Erica Kittleson:

“Using the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, the goal isn’t to feel certain emotions less frequently, but rather to develop the understanding of the emotions and create more psychological flexibility in order to feel all of our emotions. I think people hold this expectation that they are having the “wrong emotion” or responding to a stressor or event with the “wrong” feelings.

The feelings may feel intense and we may employ unhelpful strategies in order to tolerate the distress, but that often comes at the expense of trying to ignore a feeling and ignoring a need. I’m more likely to talk someone into their feelings by holding compassion and being curious than I am to talking someone out of their feelings.

Often the first step to accepting or being open to the emotion, is being able to name the emotion. If the emotion is named and validated, then we are able to move into developing strategies on how to express and process the emotion. “

Are you experiencing burnout? If so, our staff recommends reading the book "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" by Emily Nagoski PhD and Amelia Nagoski DMA.

“With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages—and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren’t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of “having it all.” Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are—and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach.”

While most productivity advice assumes everyone works in the same way, energy management allows you to make decisions based on how much energy you have for certain tasks.

Energy management lets you check in with your energy levels to figure out what you have the capacity to do. Instead of assuming your productivity stays the same day in and day out, checking in with your energy levels allows you to make more informed decisions. Instead of managing your tasks through the amount of time you have available, energy management asks you to manage your tasks based on the type and amount of energy you currently have.

Self-care can look different for everyone. It’s not always bubble baths and candles, but it could be! Self-care is simply the practice of taking care of yourself. It is the practice of making time for your needs and giving yourself the space you need.

Self-care could be buying yourself a treat, taking your meds, reading a book, decluttering a space that has been bothering you, or simply watching a Netflix show. Sometimes, self-care is fun, and sometimes it’s not as exciting, but establishing these habits will help build a foundation for you to live your best life.

Here are some ideas to get you started with a self-care practice. Learn more on the blog: https://holisticconsultationllc.com/the-key-to-self-care-embrace-the-boring-bits-2/

In the aftermath of trauma, finding a safe and judgment-free space to unravel the past and rewrite your life's narrative can feel overwhelming.

Our approach to trauma treatment is rooted in compassion, offering you a gentle and nurturing space where healing unfolds at your own pace. Above all, we want to honor you for the extraordinary strength it takes to overcome adversity, and rediscover your true self. Your journey to healing is a testament to your resilience, and we're here to support you.

One type of trauma treatment we offer is EMDR, short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, stands as a proven method designed to mend the connections between your sensory experiences and your memories, empowering you to heal.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR takes a direct approach by pinpointing and addressing these memories head-on. This approach often results in a shorter treatment process, allowing you to expedite healing. EMDR therapy offers a path to address past traumas, create space for managing current distress, and equip you with the skills needed to navigate the future.

Finding a hobby might seem like just one more thing that you don’t have enough time for, but hobbies actually make a big difference in quality of life. When you’re engaging in a hobby, you’re using your brain, which can help stave off cognitive decline. Making time for hobbies can lower stress levels and give you a chance to escape from the demands of day to day life.

Hobbies are also important because they’re fun! Life isn’t just about work and sleep. Part of the joy of being alive is exploring new things and experiencing joy, wonder, awe, and satisfaction. Hobbies can provide all of those. On the blog, we wrote about 4 tips for exploring new hobbies as an adult.

Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? What’s on your list this year?

We often make resolutions about ourselves. What if, this year, we made them about a kinder world? What if we did just one or two of these?

* Showed compassion even to the person who cuts us off on I-270 (we know their aggression comes from pain.)
* Live with kindness.
* Give when you can (If you have an old coat, someone at Goodwill would love to be warm. Mid-Ohio Food Bank would appreciate an hour of your time or a donation.)
* Share peace (If someone snaps at you, count to 10. Remember, they are hurting. It may not help to snap back.)
* Be thoughtful. Send a note in your child’s lunchbox; a text to your partner; an old fashion snail mail to your mom or dad. These will make them smile.

Kindness and compassion spread quickly. Pay it forward. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to keep these resolutions.
