Sometimes the struggle isn’t just feeling overwhelmed - it’s feeling stuck, shut down, or disconnected from others.

Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT, or Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) helps people build flexibility, openness, and more authentic connection, especially when perfectionism or emotional rigidity gets in the way.

We’re sharing more about how it works and who it can help on our blog. Learn more: https://concordcenter.com/blog/

If needles cause stress or avoidance, you’re not alone. Many children, teens, and adults feel the same way.

Our first Pediatric Needle Anxiety Clinic this April focused on building practical skills to make medical visits feel more manageable. The photos here offer a preview of how we run the clinic, including hands-on tools and step-by-step practice in a supportive setting. We're excited to run this program again this summer!

It’s easy to get pulled into “who’s right” in situations like the Alix Earle / Alex Cooper dynamic - but what we see clinically is something deeper:

When communication breaks down, it’s usually not about one moment. It’s about hurt feelings, assumptions, & reactions that escalate fast.

As therapists, we’d slow this down. Help each person name what actually felt hurtful. Build skills to respond instead of react. And create a way to repair - not just “win.”

Because most conflicts aren’t about the surface issue, they’re about feeling unheard, misunderstood, or dismissed.

If this kind of pattern feels familiar in your relationships, you’re not alone. And it’s something you can change with the right support. Take a peek at these DBT skills and reach out if you'd like to learn more.

Stress can build quietly - until it starts affecting your sleep, your focus, your patience. If that’s happening, you’re not alone.

This Stress Awareness Month, try one small reset:

• Name what you’re feeling: even a quick “I’m overwhelmed” can lower intensity
• Slow your breathing: in for 4, out for 6, for 2 minutes
• Lower the bar: focus on the next one doable step, not the whole day

Small shifts can help you feel steadier and more in control.
