📖 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 📖

She sat in the car for a few extra minutes before walking inside - the grocery bags in the passenger seat, the school papers on the dash, the silence both heavy and peaceful. Another long week done. Another list still waiting.

Her child's laughter greeted her as she opened the door, and suddenly the exhaustion eased - just a little. Dinner wasn't fancy, but it was warm. Homework got done. Bedtime took longer than planned. And in the quiet that followed, she wondered if she was doing enough.

The truth? She was doing more than enough. She was doing the work of two hearts - giving, guiding, comforting, and holding it all together when no one was there to see it.

🎋 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤:
* Give yourself credit for showing up - even when it's messy.
* Ask for help without guilt - it's not weakness, it's wisdom.
* Build small moments of rest into your routine - a cup of coffee in silence, a walk after bedtime, a breath before the next task.
* Remember: You're not alone in this. Your story is one of strength, love, and resilience.

✨ You're doing better than you think. ✨

Being a single parent means doing twice the work, making twice the decisions, and giving twice the love - even when you're running on half the energy. 💫 This one's for you: strong, steady, and showing up every day. 💛

Self-care isn't selfish - it's how you refill your cup to show up for yourself and others.

BTS of the therapy process: the sand tray. ⏳
A simple sand tray that becomes a whole world. In the sand, kids (and sometimes adults!!) can express what words can't. Each figure, each placement, tells a story waiting to be understood.

It's not just play - it's communication.

💔 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞: Grief💔

Meet Sarah. She lost her mother last year, and some days feel heavier than others. She finds herself staring at old photos, wishing she could hear her mother's voice just one more time. Simple tasks feel exhausting, and now moments that used to bring joy, now feel muted.

At first, Sarah tried to push through, telling herself she "should be fine." But grief doesn't follow rules. In therapy, she found a space to speak openly, to cry, to remember, and to confront the guilt and questions that has been weighing her down. Slowly, Sarah began to realize that healing doesn't mean forgetting - it means finding a way to carry love and loss together.

If you feel like Sarah, please feel free to reach out so we can talk. 309-232-0207 or cami@camilerminezllc.com

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: Grief isn't a problem to fix - it's a process to navigate. With support, even the heaviest days can become more manageable, and life can feel meaningful again.

Meet Jordan and Riley. They care deeply about their kids but have different ways of handling routines, homework, and weekend plans. At first, disagreements left everyone stressed and frustrated.

One day, they decided to try something different: Pause before reacting, listen fully, and remember their shared goal - the well-being of their children. Slowly, the tension eased. The kids noticed, felt safer, and even started sharing more about their days.

Takeaway: Co-parenting isn't about perfection - it's about communication, patience, and keeping your child's best interest at the center. Small changes can create big shifts in family harmony. 💛

🎃𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 & 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡👻

Halloween is full of fun, costumes, and candy - but for some kids, it can also bring fears, anxiety, or stress. Whether it's fear of the dark, worries about fitting in, or feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to feel a little "spooked" inside.

𝑇𝑖𝑝𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝐻𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛:
* Prepare kids for what to expect - routes, costumes, and parties.
* Practice calming strategies before heading out.
* Encourage breaks if things feel overwhelming.
* Remind them that it's okay to say "no" to anything that feels too scary.
