🌸 Sip calm, savor peace, breathe deep. 🌸

Ever notice how a simple cup of tea can feel like a tiny act of self-care magic? Sometimes, the smallest rituals help us slow down and reconnect with ourselves—especially when anxiety or sadness tries to take over.

Here are three mindful moments you can try today:

1. Hold your mug and notice its warmth. Let yourself breathe in the gentle steam for a few seconds.
2. Take a slow sip, focusing on the flavors and how it feels in your body.
3. As you pause, gently remind yourself: “I am safe. I am here. I am enough.”

Even a few mindful breaths can be a powerful reset. What’s your favorite way to find a moment of calm? Share below or save this post for when you need a gentle reminder. 💚

Ready to explore more ways to ease anxiety or lift your mood? Amyris Counseling & Wellness is here for you—virtually, all across Texas. Book your free consult at www.amyriscounseling.com or send a message anytime.

🌟 **Friday Reflection: What You're Carrying This Week**

We made it to Friday. Take a breath.

This week has been *a lot*—whether you're dealing with holiday chaos, family dynamics, paranormal activity, grief, anxiety, or just the general overwhelm of December.

**Here's what I want you to know:**

Whatever you're carrying right now—it's heavy. And you've been doing the work to carry it. That takes courage.

You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to be "fine." You don't have to smile through the pain.

You just have to be *human*—and that's enough.

**This weekend, give yourself permission to:**
✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Say no without explaining
✨ Feel your feelings without judgment
✨ Take care of *you* first

You've earned it. 💚

If you need support—whether it's therapy, a listening ear, or just knowing someone *gets it*—I'm here. No judgment. No pressure. Just support.

🎄 **Paranormal Activity & the Holidays: You're Not Imagining It**

Real talk: I've noticed a pattern with my paranormal trauma clients this time of year. Activity *does* seem to intensify during the holidays.

Why? A few theories:

🌙 **Emotional Energy:** The holidays stir up intense emotions—grief, joy, anxiety, nostalgia. Entities seem drawn to that energetic shift.

👻 **The Veil Feels Thinner:** Winter solstice just passed. Many spiritual traditions recognize this as a time when the boundary between worlds feels more permeable.

🏠 **More Time at Home:** You're spending more time in your space, so you're more *aware* of activity that might otherwise go unnoticed.

**Here's what I want you to know:** If you're experiencing increased paranormal activity right now, you're not crazy. You're not imagining it. And you don't have to handle it alone.

Therapy can help you process the fear, anxiety, and trauma that comes with paranormal experiences—whether that's EMDR, EFT, grounding techniques, or just having someone who *believes you* and understands.

**You deserve support.** Let's talk about what's happening. 💚

✨ **Therapist Confession: Christmas Week Edition** 🎄

Real talk? Even therapists get overwhelmed during the holidays.

I've been thinking about all the clients I work with this time of year—the ones managing anxiety spikes, the ones grieving lost loved ones, the ones whose paranormal experiences seem to intensify when the veil feels thinner... and honestly, it reminds me why this work matters so much.

**Here's what I want you to know:**

You don't have to white-knuckle your way through Christmas week.

Your feelings are valid. Your boundaries matter. Your peace is worth protecting.

Whether you're dealing with holiday stress, unresolved trauma, or something more paranormal in nature—therapy can help. You don't have to figure it out alone.

**This week, be gentle with yourself.** 💚

🎄 **Wednesday Wellness Check: How Are You *Really* Doing?**

Halfway through the week. How's your nervous system holding up?

I'm asking because the holidays have a sneaky way of making us push through discomfort instead of addressing it. We smile, we say "I'm fine," and we keep going—even when we're not fine at all.

**Here's what I want you to know:**

It's okay to not be okay right now. Seriously.

Whether you're:
💔 Grieving someone who's no longer here
😰 Dealing with anxiety that spikes this time of year
👻 Experiencing paranormal activity that intensifies during the holidays
🥀 Carrying old trauma that gets triggered by family gatherings
😔 Just... tired and overwhelmed

**All of it is valid.** All of it deserves attention and care.

You don't have to white-knuckle your way through. Therapy can help—whether it's talk therapy, EMDR, EFT, or just having someone who *gets it* and doesn't judge.

**You deserve support.** Let's talk? 💚

🎄 **Holiday Heart Check-In** 💚

Christmas week is here, and if you're feeling the weight of it all—the expectations, the hustle, the pressure to be merry—I want you to know: that's completely normal, and you're not alone.

This season can stir up a lot. Joy, yes. But also grief, anxiety, overwhelm, and sometimes even paranormal activity seems to amp up (I've noticed it too! 👻). Whatever you're feeling is valid.

**Here's my gentle reminder for you this week:**

✨ It's okay to rest without guilt
✨ It's okay to say no to events or obligations
✨ It's okay to take breaks and breathe
✨ It's okay to ask for help
✨ It's okay to feel ALL the feelings

You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to do it all. You just have to be *you*—and that's enough.

If the holidays are bringing up anxiety, trauma memories, or just too much stress, therapy can help. Whether it's traditional anxiety work or paranormal trauma that's weighing on you, I'm here to support you.

**Sending you peace this week.** 💫

🌙 **Monday Mindfulness: Grounding When Everything Feels Chaotic**

The holidays can feel like sensory overload—too much noise, too many expectations, too many *feels*. If you're feeling scattered or anxious today, here's a quick grounding exercise you can do right now:

**The 5-4-3-2-1 Technique:**

👀 Name 5 things you can *see*
👂 Name 4 things you can *hear*
✋ Name 3 things you can *touch*
👃 Name 2 things you can *smell*
👅 Name 1 thing you can *taste*

This simple practice brings you back to the present moment and calms your nervous system. I use it with clients all the time—it works because it interrupts the anxiety spiral and anchors you in *now*.

**Try it for just 2 minutes.** Notice how you feel after.

You've got this week. One moment at a time. 💚

*What if your story deserves gentle holding?*

Sometimes healing begins with a blank page. As a therapist (and lifelong paranormal investigator), I know how hard it can be to share the stories that haunt us—especially the ones we fear no one will believe.

I’ve sat with clients who felt invisible, afraid their pain was too strange or too much. Here’s what I’ve learned: every experience, even the ones that give us chills, deserves compassion and a safe place to land. Your story matters, ghosts and all.

If you’re ready to turn the page and write a new chapter in your healing, I’m here at Amyris Counseling & Wellness. Book a free consultation today—no judgment, just support.

✨ How EMDR & EFT Help You Heal ✨

Ever wondered what actually happens in trauma therapy? Or why people talk about EMDR and EFT like they're magic wands for anxiety, depression, or even those "haunted" feelings?

Let’s break it down: EMDR uses gentle eye movements (think: following a dotted arrow) to help your brain process tough memories, while EFT (tapping) combines mindful touch with words to calm your nervous system. Both are science-backed. Both are gentle. Both are about helping you feel safe and whole—no matter what you’ve been through.

Curious if one of these could help you or someone you love? Book a free consult with Amyris Counseling & Wellness. Let’s explore your healing path together!
