The news is heavy.
And this isn’t a moment to disconnect — it’s a moment to be intentional.

Regulation is not avoidance.
Compassion is not passivity.

Today’s affirmation:
I can stay engaged without becoming reactive.
I can take action without losing myself.
I can be part of the conversation with clarity and courage.

Being informed matters.
Using your voice matters.
How you show up matters.

Pause. Regulate. Then participate.

Hi everyone! We’re starting a new adult therapy group at Inner Peace Psychological Care and wanted to share in case it’s a good fit for you or someone you know.

🦸 Your Hero’s Journey is an in-person group that uses comics and storytelling as tools to explore emotions, identity, and life challenges in a supportive, low-pressure setting.

You don’t need to be artistic, and sharing is always optional.

Group details:
📍 999 N. Plaza Dr., #380, Schaumburg, IL
🗓 Mondays at 5:00 PM
📅 February 23 – April 27

This group may be a good fit for adults who are neurodivergent, socially anxious, creatively curious, or looking for a different approach to group therapy.

If you have questions or want to learn more, feel free to reach out:

Many people are feeling the strain of disconnection right now—between communities, within families, and even inside themselves.

At Inner Peace, we believe healing doesn’t come from agreement, but from safety, curiosity, and the willingness to listen.

Creating space for multiple experiences to coexist is one way we move gently toward connection.

We recently hosted an in-person Open House at Inner Peace Psychological Care, and it was such a meaningful experience. We loved welcoming people into our space, connecting with the community, and sharing what we’ve been building behind the scenes.

For those who couldn’t join us in person, we created a Virtual Open House to give you a closer look at who we are, what we offer, and the values that guide our work.

If you’ve been curious about our practice—or want to learn more about therapy, psychological testing, groups, workshops, or wellness services—we invite you to watch.

🧠✨ Self-Care vs. Self-Maintenance

There’s a helpful distinction between self-care and self-maintenance that comes up in The Autistic Guide to Self-Discovery by Sol Smith — and it’s a framework that resonated and applies to all of us.

Self-care is often talked about as something extra or luxurious —
spa days, treats, time off, things we add when we have the energy.

Self-maintenance, on the other hand, is the basic, ongoing work that keeps things running.

Think of it like taking care of a car. 🚗
You do the oil changes.
You rotate the tires.
You keep up with routine maintenance.

It’s not exciting or glamorous —
but it’s necessary.

When maintenance is skipped, the car breaks down more quickly and often needs bigger repairs later.

Our bodies, minds, and nervous systems aren’t that different.

Self-maintenance includes:
• eating regularly
• sleeping enough
• taking medication as prescribed
• setting boundaries
• regulating the nervous system
• meeting basic needs consistently

Self-maintenance isn’t a reward.
It’s not something to earn.
It’s the foundation that supports everything else.

Join us for our February Self-Maintenance Challenge.
Just a few minutes each day can make a meaningful difference.

When something feels unjust or harmful, inaction can fuel despair. Taking values-aligned action — whether it’s advocacy, mutual aid, or community support — strengthens resilience and supports psychological wellness. We’re watching national conversations about enforcement, accountability, and transparency. In this moment, choosing connection and collective action isn’t just activism — it’s mental health care.

If you feel overwhelmed or disoriented by what’s happening, look for ways to support causes that reflect your values — share reliable information, contact representatives, show up with compassion, and build community support systems. Change is a process, and you matter in it.

🌿 Pathways to Peace Featured by Mental Health America of Illinois 🌿

We’re honored to see Inner Peace Psychological Care’s Pathways to Peace program highlighted by Mental Health America of Illinois in their article “Access denied: Opening the door to mental health treatment.” 📣✨

In the piece, Dr. Kailyn Bobb, co-owner of Inner Peace Psychological Care, speaks to the systemic and financial barriers that prevent many individuals from accessing mental health care—even when the need is urgent. She emphasizes how cost, insurance limitations, and provider shortages disproportionately affect marginalized and underserved communities, often forcing people to delay or forgo care altogether.

Pathways to Peace was created in direct response to these barriers. The program offers reduced-fee therapy provided by master’s-level clinicians under licensed supervision, with the goal of making care more accessible, sustainable, and rooted in dignity—not privilege.

This feature reflects our ongoing commitment to equity, access, and community-centered care, and to advocating for systems that meet people where they are. 🌱

We have spoken before about the issue of stigma in mental health. Time was that this was the greatest obstacle to individuals getting the support they need. And while stigma can still be an issue – particularly in rural communities – it’s not as much of a problem as it once was. The American P...
