Can you keep doing things, exactly as they are happening, for the next five years? If that makes you cringe…time to make a change. Need to talk through it? Come see me 😊

I did not create this, but what a reminder. This is a hard time for so many. Even in your hard, there is so much good to notice as well.

You ever feel suddenly self-conscious or bad when someone says something negative about you?

Probably so. But here is a thing I have learned.

There was this long period of time where I didn’t weigh myself because I really didn’t care. One day I decided to check it. It was about 10 pounds higher than I thought. The scale told me my weight, and I was hurt by it 😆 But, the moment before I stepped on it, and the moment after, I was still the exact same person. The only difference was I was informed about a piece of me.

Hard to argue with a scale. But the scale didn’t know how much of that was fat, muscle, or water. And the report it gave me changed absolutely nothing about me. Mentally, I could have (and maybe had) groaned and felt upset. I might have thought about it and decided to adjust something in my lifestyle. Or maybe not.

The point is, when someone makes a comment about me or I overhear their opinion….it doesn’t actually have any impact on who I am. I can allow it to change me if I want, but it doesn’t actually change who I am without my permission.

It is the greatest privilege to hold space for each of our clients in their hurts and hard times... to be nominated and voted as one of Acadiana's best Mental Health Services two years in row is just humbling.

There are so many wonderful Counselors, Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Nurse Practiioners, Social Workers that go unseen serving our community that I believe at the end of the day are the true winners.

Shoutout to Willow Mental Wellness and Recovery for winning GOLD two years in a row in Mental Health Services! So well deserved! We refer to Addie and her team regularly for medication management and the quality of care is pristine.

Once again, thank you Acadiana for giving us a chance to serve you- it truly is an honor.

Trauma can come in all shapes and sizes. Often times we think of trauma as big things such as car wrecks, divorce, r**e, but it is also traumatic to feel left out, dismissed, unseen, etc.

Some things are big marbles and some things are little marbles. And for many of us we may have 1000s of little marbles that add up to weigh just as much if not more than a big marble.

At Lotus Counseling and Wellness we offer a wide variety of therapies to help clients to work through traumatic events.

My favorite thing to do with a client Is Sandtray! It’s a creative modality where a client is able to go beyond their normal “rational” thinking and go into that nonverbal space, often bringing to light new insight.

Wanna give it a try? I’d love to guide you!
