✨ TUESDAY TIP — with Cecilia Rodrigues, LMFT, EMDR Therapist ✨

In today’s video, Cecilia shares a simple EMDR-inspired tool called the “Monkey Tap.”

This gentle, rhythmic tapping — left, right, left, right — helps your brain “reset,” settle your nervous system, and move out of fight-or-flight. It’s a bit like being rocked back and forth to sleep as a baby: soothing, steady, and grounding. 💜

The Monkey Tap is one small way to give your body and mind a moment of calm.
Save this for the next time you feel overwhelmed.

🌿 Sunday Reset: Three Ways to Ground Yourself Before Thanksgiving Week Begins

As we head into a week that can be full — full schedules, full tables, and sometimes full emotions — taking a moment to reset can make all the difference.

✨ 1. Create a calm moment.
Even two minutes of breathing, stretching, or stepping outside can help settle your nervous system before the week layers on more.

✨ 2. Set gentle expectations.
Holidays can bring joy, stress, or a mix of both. Decide what you need this week — rest, boundaries, connection — and honor it with compassion.

✨ 3. Choose one thing to let go of.
A pressure, a plan, a “should.” Lightening your emotional load makes space for presence.

Wishing you a grounded start to your week and a Thanksgiving that feels supportive, not overwhelming. 💛

📘 Friday Book Recommendation from Kristina Sorfozo, MA, LPCA!

Looking for something meaningful to dive into this weekend? Kristina is sharing one of her favorites: Self-ish by Sunita Osborn, PsyD — a thoughtful, compassionate guide for anyone on a healing journey.

This book integrates beautifully with trauma-informed and strengths-based therapy. It supports:
✨ Self-compassion
✨ Agency
✨ Emotional awareness
✨ Healthy self-protection

All essential components of trauma recovery and resilience-building.

Kristina often recommends Self-ish because it pairs naturally with therapeutic models like IFS, ACT, CBT, and person-centered approaches, offering both practical tools and gentle validation.

If you’re exploring your own growth this weekend, this might be the perfect place to start. 🌿

Your emotions aren’t something to hide or push away — they’re signals, stories, and reminders of what matters. 🌿

At Interpersonal Wellness, we help you approach your feelings with curiosity instead of judgment, allowing you to understand yourself with more compassion and clarity.

Healing doesn’t come from ignoring your emotions…
It comes from giving them space to be heard. 💛
