Accelerated Resolution Therapy (or A.R.T) is not only a trauma-informed therapy, but it is a trauma-processing therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.

Less rehashing. More relief.

Yes, yes, this is a play on words. While we’ve been busy putting up actual walls in our new Saratoga Springs office (OPEN MARCH 1st), it’s given us time to reflect about the metaphor of putting walls up and taking walls down.

We often help clients notice the walls they’ve built. The defenses that once protected them but may now be keeping out connection, softness, or growth. Together, we gently explore which walls are ready to come down and what it might feel like to let more support in.

But sometimes the work isn’t about tearing walls down at all—it’s about building better ones. Better walls look a lot like boundaries. They’re intentional, sturdy, and placed with care. They don’t shut out love or belonging; they protect your energy, values, and nervous system. These are the walls that help you rest, say no without guilt, and feel safe enough to be fully yourself.

So how do you know which walls to dismantle and which to build? That’s where curiosity (and often support) comes in.

In the slow and reflective season of winter, we invite you to to reassess your walls. No need to take action yet, just get curious. Whether you explore this with your therapist or through journaling, know that healing is not a rush to dismantle defenses or build something extravagant overnight, but an ongoing process of internal renovations, upgrades, and thoughtful improvements, taken at your own pace.

Check out our last post to learn more about different types of boundaries.

Did you know that setting and maintaining boundaries can help your self esteem?

If you wish things were different in your life and that others treated you differently, you may need to set more firm boundaries. There are many kinds of boundaries that we can set with others, but the key to setting them and having them work is that we need to maintain them.

Talk with your therapist about boundaries and some areas of your life that would be improved if you were to set some up to improve your life.

As a new year begins, you might find yourself thinking: “This could be the year I start therapy.”

If that thought feels both hopeful and overwhelming, you are not alone. Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. Credentials, specialties, insurance, schedules. It is a lot.

But research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy. So before getting lost in the details, start with what you actually need:

▫️ What symptoms or challenges are you hoping to address
▫️ What goals you have for therapy, even loosely
▫️ Whether in-person or virtual care fits your life best
▫️ Individual, couples, family, or group therapy needs
▫️ The level of care that feels appropriate for you (licensed, associate, or intern)
▫️ A therapist’s training, specialty, and populations served
▫️ Logistics like availability, location, and affordability

Once you narrow it down:
▫️ Verify insurance or rates
▫️ Check licensure through DOPL if applicable
▫️ Ask for a consultation call if offered

A few reminders as you begin:
▫️ It can take a few sessions to know if it is a good fit
▫️ It is okay to advocate for your needs
▫️ It is okay to change therapists
▫️ Finding the right support is worth the effort

If you need help navigating the process or want to learn more about our clinicians, our intake team is here to help.

A new year is not about fixing yourself. It is about coming home to your body. 🤍🫶🏻

As we step into 2026, trauma-informed, somatic therapy can gently deepen talk therapy by:

▫️ Helping your body feel safe before asking your mind to change
▫️ Supporting regulation when words feel hard to find
▫️Reducing overwhelm by working with the nervous system, not against it
▫️ Building awareness of where stress and emotion live in the body
▫️ Creating lasting change through felt experience, not just insight

If you are ready for a slower, more grounded way to heal, we would love to walk with you. Connect with us at Rooted Counseling & Wellness.

This is the leadership team that keeps Rooted growing strong.🫶🏻🤍🪴

From our admin-intake team who gently welcome clients and help them find the right clinical fit, to Halie and Romina who planted the seeds of this practice, and the clinicians who supports our practicum students, interns, and clinical care behind the scenes. We are so thankful for each of you.

Healing does not happen in isolation. We believe in honoring not only those who sit in the therapy room, but also those who quietly support the process, hold the systems together, and make care possible every day. 🤍🫶🏻 Thank You

01/12/2026

In trauma-informed therapy, we often talk about learning how to “put things on the shelf.” This is a regulation skill, not avoidance. When experiences, emotions, or decisions feel overwhelming, the nervous system can move into survival mode. “Shelving” is the intentional practice of storing materials to prevent system overload. It allows the brain and body to stay within a window of tolerance where processing is possible.

Putting something on the shelf means acknowledging, “This is important,” while also recognizing, “I do not have the capacity to hold this right now.” It creates psychological distance, supports emotional regulation, and reduces the risk of shutdown, panic, or dissociation.

Trauma-informed care prioritizes pacing, choice, and safety. Healing is not about pushing through. It is about learning when to pause, when to rest, and when to return to something with support.

You do not have to carry anything alone.

Our therapists are here to help you organize what feels heavy, build regulation skills, and gently return to stored experiences when your system is ready. We offer trauma-informed counseling in Draper, Lehi, and Saratoga Springs.

When you are ready, we are here to walk with you.

For many people, the New Year brings a mix of hope and pressure. For anxious minds, this season often feels less inspiring and more overwhelming.

If goal setting tends to trigger spirals, self-criticism, avoidance, or shutdown, this is not a motivation problem. It is a nervous system response.

Trauma-informed therapy approaches goal setting differently.

Instead of asking what you should accomplish, it asks what your nervous system can realistically support.
Gentle goal setting prioritizes regulation, sustainability, and self-trust over performance. Here are a few trauma-informed approach to goal setting:

▫️Start with capacity, not ambition: Ask what feels sustainable right now, what drains you quickly, and what supports regulation.
▫️Focus on regulation before results: Stability comes first. Predictable routines, rest, and reduced overwhelm create the foundation for change.
▫️Track energy, not just outcomes: Notice when you feel resourced, when anxiety spikes, and what restores you.
▫️Choose process-based goals: Practice grounding, check in with your body before saying yes, pause before self-criticism.
▫️Expect resistance without judgment: Resistance is information, not failure. Curiosity keeps you engaged without shame.
▫️Build flexibility into timelines: Progress is measured in consistency, not speed.
▫️ Celebrate consistency over intensity: Steady engagement builds trust with your nervous system and supports lasting change.

Success is not becoming a different person but learning how to live with yourself more gently.

If goal setting has felt overwhelming in the past, support can help. Rooted Counseling & Wellness is a trauma-informed therapy practice with locations in Draper, Lehi, and Saratoga Springs. Our therapists help clients set goals that align with nervous system needs and emotional health.
