“I find a lot of meaning in helping people build more compassion for themselves…” 💜

That’s the heart behind why our clinicians do what they do.
Therapy is a space to grow, to slow down, and to reconnect with the life you truly want to live.

This Thanksgiving, we’re holding space for the full spectrum—joy, grief, gratitude, and everything in between. If this season is busy or complicated, may you still find small moments of rest and thankfulness: a deep breath before the table fills, a kind word to yourself, or a quiet walk after dinner. From all of us at Grace & Gratitude Counseling, thank you for being part of this community. We’re grateful for the trust you place in us—and we wish you a gentle, restful holiday.

When life feels overwhelming, which part takes the lead?
💼 The Manager (keeps everything under control)
🔥 The Firefighter (numbs or distracts)
💧 The Exile (feels hurt or alone)
☀️ The Self (stays calm and compassionate)

IFS helps you get to know the parts of you that show up every day — and lead with the calm, confident Self within. Check out our latest blog for more info!: https://www.graceandgratitudecounseling.com/blog/ifs-therapy-explained

Holiday reminder: you’re allowed to protect your peace.
Here are the boundaries you can use:

✨ It’s okay to say no.
✨ If conversations get intense, I can choose to end them.
✨ I don’t have to stay the whole time.
✨ I’m allowed to take breaks when I need them.
✨ I don’t have to explain or justify my choices.

You’re not difficult. You’re regulated. ❤️

We’re always looking to better understand which local providers are really serving people well. If you have a provider you love—massage therapist, pelvic PT, OB/GYN, doula, etc.—we’d love to hear about them!

You don’t have to earn rest.
If stillness brings guilt or anxiety, that’s your nervous system stuck in “doing mode”—often reinforced by people-pleasing (the fawn response). Boundaries are how we teach our bodies that rest is safe.

Try one today: no email after 7pm, coffee before chores, a 60-second breath, or “I’m at capacity this week.” Small + consistent > big + rare.

At Grace & Gratitude Counseling, we help women move from over-responsibility to regulated, sustainable rest—without losing their care for others. Ready to feel safe doing less?

Fantasy can teach us about reality. ✨
Clinician Jaclyn M. loves Babel by R.F. Kuang for its rich world-building and the way it mirrors real-life lessons. We’re big fans of stories that spark reflection and conversation—inside and outside the therapy room.

People-pleasing isn’t peacekeeping — it’s self-abandonment in disguise.
When you say “yes” with a tight chest, stay quiet to avoid conflict, or replay conversations in your head… your body feels the cost.

Real peace begins the moment you stop betraying yourself to keep others comfortable and start honoring what you need — even when it feels unfamiliar or scary.
Choosing yourself isn’t selfish. It’s self-respect. 💛
