March is National Reading Month, and as a twice published children's book author, as well as a seasoned therapist, I have strong feelings about the importance of books in children's lives. I've researched the benefits of reading to children and the research is clear.

My newsletter this month goes into this in detail; if you haven't signed up for my Peanut and Donner newsletter, be sure to do so below!

Here's an excerpt from the newsletter this month...
"When we read aloud to a child, we’re building language in the most natural way possible. Children hear new vocabulary, sentence structure, tone, and rhythm long before they can fully articulate their own thoughts. Books give them words for feelings and....."

Happy National Reading Month!

The time between Christmas and New Years can be weird. The dopamine may drop a bit as the excitement of of Christmas wears off. It's ok. Try a ritual of being with yourself, check in with your breathing, and take it easy.

This New Year's, maybe leave the resolution alone and just gently check in with what you'd like to be mindful of in 2026.

Let's do more from a grounded, available space rather than a space of hard expectations and pressure.

2026 is your year!

Love,
Erin.

It's November, which is National Children's Grief Awareness Month. Children's grief and their emotional and mental health is near and dear to my heart as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with teens and I hear their stories every day in my practice. One of the reasons I wrote the second children's book in the Peanut Butter and Donner series was to address this little talked about topic of loss and grief in the lives of children, and to give them a safe space to feel seen.

Our second book, Sweet Annie's Grieving Tree, follows the story of a new friend of Peanut Butter and Donner, Sweet Annie the duck. As Annie shares with Peanut Butter and Donner her story of loss, the two are able to be there with her in that space, comforting her and offering understanding. Through friendship, play, and quiet company, Annie is able to process her loss and soften through support lent by PB&D.

A wonderful gift for any child who seeks to understand and be understood through grief, Sweet Annie's Grieving Tree is available now for purchase through book baby at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/peanut-butter-and-donner-sweet-annie%E2%80%99s-grieving-tree?srsltid=AfmBOoobQutdhVygdr5rM9BYmjzTiptquVxCTwbOrl7WkoQ5Fk20HYMS

What if all it took for you to heal is for you to commit to 8 weeks of showing up, twice a week, for Microcurrent Neurofeedback?

MCN is relaxing, and requires very little effort on your part.

The life you want could be right on the other side of eight weeks of healing. That's it.

What's stopping you?

CBT, or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has experienced a split reputation throughout the years. While remaining one of the most well-studied & researched therapeutic interventions, CBT also has a reputation for being a less holistic therapeutic approach that breaks an individual down into a part, rather than approaching the individual as a whole organism.

Over time, cognitive therapy has begun to rectify this issue by adding on behavioral interventions, essentially merging cognitive and behavioral therapy to become CBT. And for the most part, this has been a useful merger, expanding the realm of the mind into the actions of the person.

However, CBT is once again expanding in a new direction in 2025. Over the past few years, CBT has taken a turn toward embracing humanistic principles and theory, emerging into the realm of holistic psychology in ways that are simply unexpected.

Our new blog explores this new expansion in 2025. I'd love it if you gave it a read. As a CBT therapist who applies humanistic theory, I'm really enjoying this shift toward this merger with holistic therapy.

As always, if you'd like to book a session with me, please visit erin@erinrosenblum.com

With love,
Erin.

Is your child having trouble focusing? Forgetting directions? Acting before thinking? Are you struggling with homework battles?

These may be linked to trouble with executive functioning, like is found in ADHD.

Whether or not your child has been diagnosed, they can benefit from neurofeedback to help them:

1. Remember instructions (improve working memory)
2. Pause before acting (inhibitory control)
3. Adapt to change (cognitive flexibility)

Neurofeedback is safe, non-invasive, and engaging, and can help your child regain their executive functioning in less than 10 weeks.
