Dialectical thinking is a method of reasoning that involves reconciling opposing perspectives to understand complexity, moving beyond "either/or" thinking to a "both/and" approach. This type of thinking embraces contradiction, improves synthesis by having a more complex understanding, encourages multiple perspectives, and encourages change and balance.

Fall is a time when we see the earth shed and prepare itself for a season of new growth in spring. Just like nature people oftentimes shed the old and renew their spirits, the beliefs, their friendships, and many other aspects of life. Of importance is shedding beliefs that no longer serve oneself. What “Beleaf” will you shed to bring yourself increased joy?

Of all the things we humans love, sometimes we have to move ourselves up the priority list. What will you do this week to love yourself?

Beginning in September 2025 Flourishing Lives Counseling will offer adolescent/teen groups for middle and high schoolers through a grant opportunity from JCPC, in partnership with Repay, Inc. The Rise and Just Girls groups will offer social and emotional learning and development to youth, many who might be court involved. We will also discuss various topics that are applicable to high risk youth. For court ordered youth we will have regular follow up and liaison as needed. The groups will be open entry for 26 sessions.
In the coming weeks I will announce the specific dates and times of each group as well as our referral form. Referrals can always be done by phone or email as well. If you have any youth who could benefit from this service please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions to 828-289-7612, 828-829-0788, or email us at flourishinglivescounseling@gmail.com
