Collective rage is a natural response to collective harm.
The work isn’t to calm it away — it’s to help it move without burning people out.
Rage becomes dangerous when it’s ignored, shamed, or isolated.
When it’s held with intention and care, it can fuel clarity, boundaries, and change.
You’re not “too much.”
You’re responding to too much.

Laughs, inside jokes, and a leadership team that doesn’t take itself too seriously 🤍
From who’s emailing at 2am to who’s most likely to bail someone out of jail… this was way too fun.

Because sometimes “holding space” isn’t quiet, soft, or aesthetic —
it’s loud, messy, and exactly what the nervous system needs.
If you’re feeling everything right now… you’re not broken.
You’re human.

Caring in an Unjust World.
Dr. King didn’t just lead a movement — he carried the emotional cost of loving people in a violent, unjust world and chose courage anyway.
Protest is not a breakdown.
Grief is not weakness.
Rage is not pathology.
They are human responses to injustice.
Mental health is not about being quiet or comfortable.
It’s about staying human when systems try to harden you.
Caring deeply will hurt.
Choosing to care anyway is strength.

POV: You hold space all day in a chaotic world…
and then go home and quietly process the same chaos like a regular human.
Therapists aren’t immune — we’re just committed. 🤍

Talking to kids about ICE, immigration, and injustice is hard—but silence doesn’t keep them safe. Connection does.
Start with safety. Follow their lead. Tell the truth gently. Help them name feelings. Teach compassion. Regulate together.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.

January burnout isn’t about motivation.
It’s what happens when stress outpaces recovery.
If you’ve been quieter, more tired, more irritable, or glued to your phone—
your body is responding exactly as designed.
You don’t need a reset.
You need relief, compassion, and support for your nervous system.

Protests aren’t just political spaces — they’re nervous-system environments.
Agitation and violence are often used to “justify” excessive force and to distract from the cause. Nothing justifies harm or the loss of human life.
Recently, we watched a video of a masked individual burning a U.S. flag who immediately fled the scene and was confronted by protesters. Moments like this matter — because they shift attention, escalate risk, and can be used to discredit entire movements.
From a mental health and safety lens: stay alert, stay grounded, and report suspicious or escalatory behavior to organizers or marshals. Do not engage. Create distance. Protect each other.
Peaceful does not mean passive.
Calm is not compliance.
It’s strategy, harm reduction, and collective care.

This grief is not just about one life lost.
It’s about the ongoing harm inflicted on innocent people by systems that operate without humanity or accountability.
What you’re feeling is not too much.
It’s a sane response to repeated injustice.
Healing doesn’t mean looking away.
It means staying connected, building community, and taking care of one another when institutions fail to do so.
Our pain is shared.
And so is our capacity to hold each other.

If January feels heavier than December, nothing is “wrong” with you.
Your system is catching up after weeks of holding it together.
Burnout isn’t a motivation problem — it’s a nervous system one.
Start there.

POV: different year, same therapists — grounded, resilient, and still showing up like badasses.

Post-holiday financial stress is real, and it often shows up quietly — as anxiety, sleep disruption, irritability, or a sense of dread you can’t quite name.
When money stress layers on top of everything else, the nervous system feels it first.
This isn’t about budgeting harder or “thinking positive.”
It’s about recognizing financial stress as a mental health issue — and responding with compassion instead of self-blame.
More on this coming soon 💛
