Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, it’s not just in our head—our nervous system is activated and trying to protect us.
When that happens, it can feel hard to think clearly, stay present, or even feel like yourself.

That’s where quick, sensory-based “reset” strategies can help bring you back into the moment.

Things like:
• holding something cold
• splashing cold water on your face
• stepping outside for fresh air
• engaging your senses (what you can see, hear, feel)

These aren’t about forcing yourself to calm down—they’re about giving your nervous system a signal that you’re safe enough to come back to the present.

Over time, learning how to gently interrupt that activated state can help you feel more in control, rather than overwhelmed by it.

If you’re needing additional support, we have multiple clinicians at Clarté currently accepting new clients. You can also visit our website to request a session with any counselor who has availability.

✨FREE CONSULTATION & CONNECTION GROUP✨

As a newbie therapist we have direct access to a supervisor, usually are working with others, & have much easier access to connection, consultation, and collaboration with other therapists. But post licensure, especially if you’re a solo private practice clinician, it can be difficult. Clarté Counseling, LLC is excited to start hosting a monthly FREE open (meaning you’re welcome to come & go as your schedule permits) connections & consultation group for other local therapists to come connect, collaborate, and get feedback and support from one another.

If you’re interested in attending our first or any groups - please register at the link in our bio. Please feel free to share & spread the word with other local therapists! See you there!
