Local Oklahoma therapists, this one’s actually worth leaving your house for.

Join us this summer for an in-person ethics training in Oklahoma City that goes beyond checking a box. We’ll dig into trauma, burnout, and nervous system regulation in a way that actually translates into your real work, not just theory you forget by Monday.

You’ll walk away with practical, usable tools to support both your clients and yourself (because let’s be honest, burnout isn’t exactly rare in this field).

✨ Saturday training (yes, we know that’s rare)
✨ In-person connection with other clinicians
✨ CEU ethics hours approved for LCSW, LPC, and LMFT

Come for the hours, leave with something that actually sticks.

it’s wild how fast we turn on ourselves

one reaction, one hard moment, one pattern showing up again and suddenly we’re dissecting everything like we’re the problem

but what if that part of you isn’t the enemy?
what if it learned, over time, how to read the room, stay close, not ask for too much, or protect itself before anyone else could hurt it?

of course it shows up the way it does. it had a job.
and you don’t have to shame it into changing.

you can meet it differently now
with a little more honesty, a little more steadiness, a little more “this is what i need” instead of “this is what’s wrong with me”

you get to speak up for yourself in ways you maybe couldn’t before

you get to stay with yourself instead of abandoning yourself

that shift? it’s quiet, but it changes everything

Trauma teaches your nervous system that the world isn’t safe.
It pulls you out of the present and into survival, always scanning, always bracing.

But healing doesn’t always have to be loud, intense, or complicated.
Sometimes it looks like returning to what was always meant to hold you.

Simple things.
Slow things.
Human things.

Sitting outside and letting the sun touch your skin.
Watching birds without needing to do anything else.
Cooking a meal with your hands, feeling grounded in each step.
Dancing in your kitchen not for anyone, just because your body wants to move.
Taking a slow stroll with no destination, just noticing what’s around you.

This is regulation.
This is reconnection.
This is remembering.

We were never meant to live in constant urgency.
We were meant to be in rhythm with the earth, with our bodies, with each other.

There is something deeply healing about choosing a softer, more whimsical way of living not as avoidance, but as a quiet rebellion against survival mode.

You don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to prove your worth through exhaustion.

You can come back to the basics.
And in doing so, you come back to yourself.

April is one of my favorite months and not for the soft, aesthetic reasons people like to post about.

It’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
I’ve spent over a decade sitting with survivors, and I can tell you this without hesitation: they are some of the strongest, bravest humans I know.

Because this kind of trauma?
It’s complex.
It’s layered.
It doesn’t just live in memories it lives in the body, in the nervous system, in the quiet moments no one else sees.

And still… I get to witness people learn how to heal what someone else tried to break.
There is nothing more powerful than that.
We all deserve to feel safe in our bodies, in our lives, in ourselves.

If you’re working on reconnecting with your body, here are a few gentle ways to start:
• Try havening or slow, intentional touch reminding your body it’s allowed to feel comfort
• Stretch in a way that feels good, not forced let your body lead for once
• Place a hand on your chest, breathe slowly, and repeat:
“My body responds to keep me safe, even when I don’t understand it. I am safe now.”

No shame. No rushing. No “fixing” yourself.

Just coming back home one breath at a time.

Today The Supreme Court sides with therapist in challenge to Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy

As a trauma therapist heres a little info you might want to know:

Conversion therapy isn’t therapy. It’s control with a clinical mask on.

You don’t “treat” someone by teaching them to fear themselves. You don’t “help” someone by isolating them from community, identity, and safety. That’s not healing that’s conditioning.

Let’s call it what it is: a power structure dressed up as care.

Because when you convince someone their identity is the problem, you make them easier to control. You shrink them. You disconnect them. You keep them busy trying to fix something that was never broken.

And who benefits from that?

Systems that rely on obedience.
Systems that thrive on silence.
Systems that need people small, ashamed, and disconnected from their truth.

That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

Conversion therapy doesn’t just harm individuals it reinforces a hierarchy where some identities are “acceptable” and others are punished into submission. That’s patriarchy 101: power over, not power with.

Real therapy doesn’t demand you become someone else to be worthy of love.

Real therapy expands your capacity to be fully, safely, unapologetically yourself.

If your “healing” requires self-abandonment, it’s not healing. It’s harm.

And we’re not doing that anymore.

Other therapists check out my new offering:

Not everyone has the privilege of dropping money upfront right now.
And honestly? That shouldn’t be the barrier to getting support.

This collective was built for therapists who are doing deep, meaningful work… while also navigating burnout, bills, and a very real economy.

That’s why there’s now a Klarna option available.

So you can step into support without it feeling like an all-or-nothing decision.

Because community, growth, and support shouldn’t only be accessible when your bank account feels “perfect.”

This space is for progressive therapists who want:
– real conversations (not performative ones)
– sustainable growth (not hustle culture)
– community that actually shows up

You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to have it all figured out first.

I’m so excited to share that we’ve officially brought on a wonderful new clinician to our team

Amanda is now seeing clients part-time, and we specifically added her so we can better support teens with after-school virtual sessions or people that need that evening appointment after work.

She accepts most major insurance plans, has limited availability right now, and is bilingual if that support is needed.

And listen if you or if you’ve got a kiddo who lives in their K-pop/anime era, Amanda is absolutely your girl. She gets it, she connects, and she creates a space where it's safe to open up.

You can schedule and learn more about her here: https://www.epeacecounseling.com/amanda-1

We’re really excited to have her and to keep expanding support in ways that actually meet families where they are.
