❄️ Winter doesn’t just change the weather — it can change how we feel.

Shorter days, less sunlight, disrupted routines, and more time indoors can quietly increase anxiety, restlessness, and emotional overwhelm. And if you’ve been feeling “off” lately… you’re not imagining it.

✨ Winter anxiety is real.
✨ You’re not alone.
✨ And support does help.

We just shared a new blog breaking down why anxiety often increases during winter and how support can make this season feel lighter.

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Roanoke Valley Counseling Center! 🍁

As we enter this season of gratitude, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you. Whether you are beginning your healing journey or continuing the work you’ve already started, we are honored to walk alongside you. Your courage, growth, and resilience inspire us every day.

The holidays can bring joy—but they can also bring stress, mixed emotions, or overwhelm. Here are a few gentle ideas to help make your holiday season feel more grounding, meaningful, and delightful:

✨ Create a moment of stillness. Take 5 quiet minutes for your breath, a warm drink, or a favorite cozy spot. Small pauses can reset the entire day.

✨ Set boundaries that protect your peace. It’s okay to choose the gatherings, conversations, and traditions that feel safe and supportive for you.

✨ Practice gratitude your own way. Write down one thing you appreciate each day, savor a meaningful memory, or simply notice something beautiful around you.

✨ Reconnect with joy. Lean into holiday rituals that truly fill your cup—baking, decorating, walking in nature, or watching a favorite movie.

✨ Reach out if you need support. You don’t have to navigate the season alone. Our team is here for you with compassion, guidance, and encouragement.

From all of us at Roanoke Valley Counseling Center, we wish you a warm, peaceful, and joy-filled Thanksgiving. 🧡
Your well-being matters, today and every day.

The Inner Child Relationships
Sometimes, our childhood wounds shape how we love as adults. Healing your inner child can lead to healthier boundaries, deeper trust, and more emotional safety in your relationships. 💕

Do you…
• Overreact to small conflicts?
• Feel anxious when others pull away?
• Avoid expressing your needs?
These can all be messages from your inner child asking to be seen.

Your “inner child” is the younger version of you — the one who felt, loved, feared, and learned before you ever became an adult.
Healing begins when we listen to that voice again. 💛
