Prioritizing self-care isn’t selfish — it’s part of staying grounded, regulated, and connected to yourself. Whether it’s a daily routine or small moments throughout the week, taking care of your mental health matters.

This week in our Healing Through Their Minds series, we’re focusing on Katniss Everdeen — a character shaped by unimaginable trauma, loss, and the weight of responsibility no one her age should have carried.

Katniss shows us how deeply trauma can linger, even long after danger is gone. Her hypervigilance, detachment, and nightmares remind us that survival and healing are not the same thing. Over time, she begins to rebuild connection, safety, and softness — proving that recovery is a slow return to feeling, trusting, and choosing life again.

Follow along each week as we continue exploring the inner worlds of characters who reveal so much about what healing can look like.

As the seasons change, finding small ways to comfort yourself can make a big difference. Whether it’s lighting a favorite candle, settling into cozy clothes, or giving yourself permission to rest—these simple moments can help your mind and body breathe.
If you’re navigating a heavier season, you’re not alone. Support is always within reach, and taking gentle steps to care for yourself is a powerful place to start.

Introducing our newest series — Healing Through Their Minds.
Each week, we’ll explore the mental health journeys of beloved fictional characters and the lessons they teach us about healing, growth, and being human.

We begin with Randall Pearson from This Is Us. Beneath his calm and successful exterior lies a battle with anxiety — a deep fear of losing control that pushes him to carry everyone’s burdens. Through therapy and self-reflection, Randall learns that peace doesn’t come from perfection but from presence. His story reminds us that vulnerability and rest are not signs of weakness, but essential parts of healing.

Follow along each week as we continue uncovering the healing journeys of characters who remind us we’re never alone in ours.

Ever find yourself replaying one tiny moment over and over… until it becomes a whole internal debate?
You’re not alone. Our brains often try to make sense of uncertainty by filling in the gaps, but that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Therapy offers a space to slow down those spirals, understand where they come from, and respond with clarity instead of anxiety.

✨ What if things actually go right? 💛
Sometimes our minds jump to the worst-case scenario — but what if we gave equal energy to the best one?
Believe that good things can happen, that you’re capable, and that you deserve peace and love too. 🌤️
