💚 Self-Care Saturdays: Making Time for Joy 💚
Joy plays an important role in emotional well-being. Making intentional space for joy even in small ways can help reduce stress and reconnect you with what feels meaningful.

✨ Three ways to invite more joy into your day:
• Do something creative or playful, just for fun
• Spend time outdoors or with people who lift you up
• Allow yourself moments of rest without guilt

Take a look inside Julie’s office at our Plattsmouth location, Julie enjoys creating a peaceful environment for her clients and often incorporates Brainspotting into sessions to support emotional healing and self-awareness.

Brainspotting is a gentle, focused approach that helps people process emotions and experiences by noticing where they feel things in their body. It works by identifying specific eye positions that connect to areas of the brain holding emotional stress or trauma.
