Your body remembers what your mind tries to move past.

Brainspotting is a brain–body therapy that uses eye position to reach the parts of the brain where trauma, anxiety, and overwhelm are stored, so they can finally move toward resolution.

It’s often experienced as “deeper than talk therapy,” especially when it’s hard to find words or when insight hasn’t brought relief.

At Baobab Counseling Center, our therapists integrate brainspotting with somatic and mindfulness-based care to support deeper, more sustainable change.

Need a midweek reset?

Try this: step outside for just a few minutes.

Even 2–5 minutes of fresh air and natural light can calm your nervous system. Research shows that nature exposure decreases cortisol (stress hormone) and activates the brain regions linked to attention, emotional balance, and safety.

Try this short grounding exercise:
Notice 3 things you see and 2 things you hear.

Your body and brain will thank you for the quick re-regulation.

At Baobab Counseling Center, we combine mindfulness and brain-based strategies to support healing and balance. Explore more at baobabcounselingcenter.com.

Lately feeling scattered or tense, even without much “stress”? Your brain might just be craving rhythm.

A simple neuroscience truth: our brains calm down when life feels predictable. That’s because the amygdala—the part that scans for danger—relaxes when it knows what to expect.

Tiny routines that calm your body:
- 2 to 5 minutes of yoga or gentle movement in the morning
- Create a short, phone-free wind-down at night
- Reading a few pages of a book or journaling for 5 minutes before bed

Over time, these small acts help regulate your nervous system and bring gentle steadiness back into your day.

If you’d like support creating brain-based, compassionate routines that fit your real life, you can connect with us at Baobab Counseling Center: baobabcounselingcenter.com.

You might feel like you’re “on” all the time, even when you’re exhausted and wishing you could finally unwind. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) may help your nervous system reset, because SSP is a listening therapy that supports nervous system regulation through music.

Using specially filtered audio, SSP helps the body move out of constant “fight, flight, or freeze” into a calmer, more connected state, drawing on Polyvagal Theory and gentle vagus nerve stimulation.

Across about five hours of guided listening—either in person or online—SSP can be especially supportive for trauma, anxiety, and sensory processing challenges and can make therapy feel more accessible.

Love takes many forms—and it thrives in more places than we often notice.

Beyond romantic partnerships, love shows up in friendships, family bonds, kind neighbors, supportive coworkers, and even the comforting presence of pets.

A simple way to nurture these connections: send a note, message, or email to someone who has shown you kindness or consistency. Let them know their presence matters.

Acts of appreciation strengthen emotional connection and remind us that love is a shared human experience, not a limited resource.

At Baobab Counseling Center, our therapists provide guidance for strengthening emotional bonds and fostering meaningful, supportive relationships.

Intense emotions in relationships can be confusing. You might notice yourself feeling anxious, overly attached, or distant—and wonder what’s “wrong” with you.

There’s nothing wrong. Your nervous system is responding to both connection and perceived threat at the same time.

When we bond, our brains release hormones such as oxytocin and dopamine that foster closeness and trust. When those bonds feel uncertain, our protection system activates —sometimes showing up as anxiety, withdrawal, or overthinking.

Understanding attachment helps us replace self‑blame with self‑understanding.

At Baobab Counseling Center, our therapists use attachment‑informed approaches to help you recognize and regulate these patterns, so your relationships feel more grounded and secure.

The feeling of loneliness and self-isolation is often felt by many elders. In fact, it changes the brain, speeding up memory loss and raising the risk of dementia and depression. So, it’s crucial to stay connected, mentally and physically, with people to enhance your thinking skills and emotional health.

Some things you could do are:
- Connect with nature: sit outside, walk, or garden
- Reminisce: go through your past photo albums and talk it out with your family or neighbors
- Meetings: join or start small groups with other elders to talk, share stories, and play games
- Use your hobbies: cooking, painting, listening to music, writing, etc.

If it feels like too much, talking to someone can help—check out Baobab Counseling Center to get support. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not dependence – every small step toward connection is also a step toward better brain health.

Stress can quietly sneak in and put your mind on autopilot—leaving you drained, distracted, and overwhelmed. Remember: life isn’t a race. You’re allowed to slow down and catch your breath.

And if it ever feels like too much to handle alone, reaching out can make a huge difference. At Baobab Counseling Center, we’re here to help you recharge, reconnect, and regain your steady.

Self-care isn’t always quiet or solitary — sometimes it’s relational and supported.

While rest, movement, and boundaries matter, many people find that deeper healing happens when self-care includes therapies that work with the nervous system and the body, not just thoughts alone.

At our practice, therapy may include:
• Trauma-informed, neuroscience-based approaches
• Mind-body techniques that help regulate stress responses
• Relational work that supports boundaries and emotional safety
• Gentle skill-building to increase awareness and choice

Self-care doesn’t have to mean doing more.

It can mean allowing support — and learning new ways to care for yourself from the inside out.

💬 In Community
We currently offer women’s groups designed to support connection, reflection, and healing in a safe, trauma-informed space. For many, group support becomes a meaningful part of their self-care and growth.

After the holidays, many people feel depleted — not because they did too little, but because they did too much for others.

Overfunctioning often shows up as:
• Taking responsibility for others’ emotions
• Anticipating everyone’s needs
• Saying yes when your body says no
• Putting your own rest and care last

This isn’t selfishness or weakness — it’s a learned pattern that once helped you cope.

From a nervous-system lens, overfunctioning can keep us in a state of chronic activation. When the holidays end, the body finally feels the cost.

January doesn’t have to be about fixing yourself.

It can be about gently noticing what your system learned to do — and what it might need now.

Reflection to consider:
Where might I be allowed to do a little less — and receive a little more?

You don’t have to unlearn these patterns alone. Connect with us today to learn what your next step towards a balanced and grounded nervous system might be at https://wix.to/ntUpF1n
