March is Self-Injury Awareness Month 🧡🎗️

Self-injury is often misunderstood. For many people, it isn’t about wanting to die—it’s a way of coping with overwhelming emotions, feeling numb, or trying to release intense internal pain when they don’t yet have other tools.While it may bring temporary relief, it doesn’t address the underlying hurt—and support can help. Healing starts with connection.

If you or someone you care about is struggling:
• Talk to someone you trust
• Reach out to a licensed mental health professional
• Learn healthier coping skills for managing intense emotions
There is help, and no one has to struggle alone. Reducing stigma starts with understanding. 🧡🎗️

Play Therapist tip of the day!

02/04/2026

Kids don’t always have the words for big feelings—so they play them out.
During Play Therapy Week 2026, we’re reminded that as play therapists, we help children work through emotions through play, because play is how kids tell their stories.

Dr. Trisha and Dr. Tiffany got some advice for you this week on those New Year's resolution goals.

01/09/2026

Back to work, back to school, back to alarms, emails, and responsibilities we absolutely did not consent to.

If settling back into real life after the holidays feels harder than expected, you’re not broken—the transition can bring stress, anxiety, and overwhelm front and center.
If you’re feeling fried, foggy, or already counting down to the next break, counseling can help you reset and regain your footing.

📍Flower Mound Counseling is here when you’re ready. Reach out to schedule an appointment—no ‘having it all together’ required.
