Thank you Renada for sharing your story and important tips for navigating perinatal care.

“Motherhood is a beautiful and challenging gift. My hope in sharing my story is to make space for each of us to practice self CARE where our health is considered. Be empowered to know regardless of your age, race, education, income or type of insurance, you have options, and ownership in your healthcare is your right!” — Renada Bey

The most important part of self-care is learning to love and appreciate yourself. When doing this, you’re modeling how you expect others to treat you. What are things you love about yourself and would like others to acknowledge about you?

Therapy just like anything else is a journey, and it takes time. Progress is seen in different ways. Each day forward is a new step you’re taking, and you are making progress! Even when you don’t think about the work.

It is officially Friday of International Play Therapy Week! This image looks at what child-centered play therapy is. Kids have control by choosing what they play with. This autonomy helps them relieve any stressors, emotions, work through what they’ve experienced. Play therapists are there to hold their emotions and to experience it with them. Play therapists are also there to help the parents to further help the child in their care.

In honor of Play Therapy Week, this photo details the benefits kids receive when they engage in play. They have a safe space to be themselves, learn new skills, and how to trust themselves in the process.

We all want to be liked and find the ones we belong with. During the process, we’ll find those who aren’t a good fit. What matters most is being secure with yourself and what you have to bring to the conversation. Loving yourself is the greatest form of self-care.

On this Wellness Wednesday, lets take a moment to talk about deep breathing. Taking relaxing, deep breaths encourages your parasympathetic nervous system to send messages to your brain that you are safe. This politely lets the anxious part of your brain know that you do not need to be in a state of flight, flight or freeze.
Consider giving this intervention a try the next time you feel anxious or overwhelmed!
Your body and mind will thank you for it 🌸
