As the days get shorter and cooler, it’s important to be mindful of how the change in seasons can impact our mental health. Here are a few tips to help you stay grounded and emotionally well during the fall and winter months:

1. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧: Natural light boosts mood, so try to soak up sunlight during the day, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
2. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: Movement, whether it's a walk outside or indoor exercise, helps improve mental clarity and releases feel-good endorphins.
3. 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: The colder months can feel isolating, so stay connected with loved ones. A phone call or a cup of coffee with a friend can lift your spirits.
4. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡: Spend time in prayer, scripture, or worship to find comfort and peace in God’s presence.
5. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞: Prioritize rest, relaxation, and activities that rejuvenate your mind and body.

When something triggers you—an argument, a harsh word, a disappointment—your body often wants to react right away. That’s part of being human. But healing begins when we learn to pause before reacting.

Pausing doesn’t mean ignoring what you feel. It means giving your mind and body a moment to breathe, so your response can come from clarity instead of chaos.

In that pause, you are able to ask yourself:
What am I really feeling right now?
What do I need in this moment?
What would a calm, grounded version of me want to say or do?

Choosing to pause instead of react—can transform relationships, communication, and even your relationship with yourself.

Here at Refuge, we help individuals learn how to recognize triggers, build emotional regulation skills, and respond in ways that bring healing rather than harm.

We love you!

What is the difference between depression and sadness?

It can be difficult to distinguish between sadness and depression.

Sadness is a normal emotion that everyone feels. We all experience events in our lie that can trigger sadness such as the death of a loved one. Sadness will come and go and is often temporary. More often than not, sadness will not impact daily life functioning more than a few days to a week (thinking of pet loss...)

Depression on the other hand usually lasts longer than 2 weeks and may not be triggered by a specific event. Depression will significantly interfere with and impact your daily life and ability to function.

If you are struggling, we are here. Call us today to set up an appointment-936-648-5379

Emotions like anxiety, anger, and sadness often get labeled as “bad” or “negative.” But the truth is—they’re not enemies. They’re signals. Each one is trying to get your attention and tell you something important.

Instead of pushing them down or shaming yourself for feeling them, try pausing and asking:
💭 “What is this emotion pointing me toward?”
💭 “What need or boundary is it highlighting?”
💭 “What is this trying to teach me about myself?”

When we listen with curiosity instead of judgment, emotions become guides instead of burdens. They can lead us toward deeper self-awareness, healing, and growth.

We love you!

Sometimes, one person’s decision to begin counseling becomes the spark that changes an entire family. Healing doesn’t just stop with the individual—it ripples outward. We see it all the time.

This is the beauty of Christ-centered counseling: it doesn’t just treat symptoms—it uncovers root causes, heals old wounds, and creates space for deeper connection, understanding, and grace. Families begin to see each other differently. Conversations change. Patterns shift. And what once felt broken can begin to feel whole again.

Here at Refuge, we walk with individuals, couples, and families through the messy middle of real life—because we believe God doesn’t just want healing for you—He desires restoration for your entire household, generation after generation.

We love you!

Don't miss out on the free group that is meeting every Monday at 5pm! And 𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑬!!!

Welcome to our new trauma-focused group experience based on the powerful book Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steven C. Hayes and Spencer Smith. This group is designed to help you break free from the grip of painful thoughts, emotions, and past experiences that may be holding you back. Through guided exercises, open discussion, and practical tools for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll begin the process of healing by reconnecting with what truly matters to you.

This is more than just a group, it's a space to reclaim your life, step by step, with the support of others on the same journey.

We love you!

It’s incredible how movement impacts the mind. Research shows that even small amounts of activity can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, boost your mood, and help you feel more grounded.

And here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be complicated. A short walk, stretching in your living room, dancing to your favorite song, or riding your bike can make a noticeable difference. Just 10 minutes can shift your perspective and bring a sense of calm to your day.

Which is your favorite way to move?

We love you!

Not all healing looks the same—and neither should therapy.

At Refuge Counseling Centers, we know that every person walks in with a different story, a different struggle, and a different set of needs. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Here are a few of the evidence-based methods we use:
✔️ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping clients change patterns of negative thinking and behavior.
✔️ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – A powerful tool for healing trauma and anxiety.
✔️ Play Therapy – A safe and effective way for children (and even adults) to process emotions through play.

No matter what brings you through our doors—whether it’s trauma, relationship issues, parenting struggles, or something you can’t quite name—we’re here to walk with you through it all.

We love you!
