Trauma doesn’t always live in clear memories.
Often, it lives in the body, the nervous system, and the patterns we struggle to make sense of.

In trauma-informed work, we often see that when experiences overwhelm the nervous system, their impact doesn’t show up as clear memories, but as symptoms like sleep disruption, shame, hypervigilance, or a sense of losing oneself or the future.

These responses aren’t signs of weakness or something being “wrong” with you. They are adaptive survival responses; your system is doing its best to protect you when safety feels uncertain.

Healing isn’t about forcing memories or “fixing” symptoms. It’s about gently restoring a sense of safety in the body, strengthening regulation, and supporting the nervous system so integration can happen at its own pace.

If you recognize yourself in this, you’re not alone, and support can make a meaningful difference. Trauma-informed therapy offers space to understand these patterns with compassion and care, and to begin reconnecting with yourself in ways that feel steady and resourced.

When you’re ready, we’re here to walk alongside you.

December 31st can bring reflection, expectation, and pressure to close the door neatly on a year that may not have been neat at all.

It’s okay if this year changed you.
It’s okay if you’re still integrating what you lived through.
And it’s okay if you don’t have language for it yet.

The new year doesn’t require a reset. It invites care.

If you’re looking for a space to process, integrate, and move forward with intention, therapy can be a place to begin.

We’re here when you’re ready.
Contact us today to learn more or schedule a consultation.

We’re excited to announce our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) retreat offerings for 2026, designed to support healing, connection, and personal growth.

Whether you’re new to KAP or returning to deepen your practice, our monthly group retreats provide a safe, clinically-supported space to explore inner transformation. KAP can help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and persistent patterns of feeling stuck. Research shows that 8 dosing sessions can create meaningful shifts in mood, insight, and emotional resilience.

Held at The Lake Space, our serene lakeside retreat center on the sacred grounds of Lake Hopatcong, each full-day retreat combines medicine work with somatic movement, art therapy, sound healing, and energy practices.

We offer three pathways:
Intro to KAP Starter Series – Two consecutive dosing retreats for those beginning their journey.

8-Session Series – Monthly retreats to support deeper therapeutic work and long-term integration.

Drop-In Day Retreats – For those with previous KAP experience seeking refreshment and community support.

All retreats include virtual preparation and integration sessions to support your experience from start to finish.

If you’re ready to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore new possibilities, our team is here to guide you.

After Christmas, many people notice a quiet transition.
After the plans, the gatherings, the expectations, there’s often a moment of exhale, and sometimes a wave of emotion we didn’t know we were holding, relief, gratitude, or grief, or a mix of all of it.

Whatever today brings, it doesn’t need to be explained or fixed.

This is a gentle invitation to slow down:
• Rest your nervous system
• Notice what your body is asking for
• Let go of any pressure to “bounce back”

If this season stirred up more than you expected, therapy can offer a steady place to unpack, integrate, and tend to what came up, at your own pace.

If you’re curious about what therapy can do for you, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. 💛

The holidays tend to bring more than one feeling at a time.

For some, this season holds warmth, connection, and traditions they cherish.
For others, it brings exhaustion, grief, old family dynamics, or the quiet work of just getting through.

In our therapy rooms, we often talk about how to move through this season with a little more steadiness and self-respect.

That might look like:
• Thinking ahead about what you need at family gatherings
• Practicing boundaries around time, topics, or expectations
• Giving yourself permission to attend less, or not at all

The holidays don’t have to be all joy or all struggle. It’s okay if they’re both.

At Presence of Mind Therapy, we believe healing includes learning how to hold joy and tenderness at the same time, especially during seasons that ask a lot of us.

If the holidays feel complicated this year, you don’t have to navigate them alone. Therapy can be a place to sort through what’s coming up, clarify your needs, and find ways to care for yourself with intention.

What helps you feel more grounded during the holidays?

Therapy doesn’t end when the session does.

Often, the most meaningful work happens in the quiet moments afterward, when emotions are still close to the surface, and new insights are beginning to settle.

Here are a few gentle ways to support yourself after a session and help your therapy take root:

✨ Put words to the experience.
Jot down what stood out: emotions, body sensations, or small “aha” moments. Writing helps integrate what surfaced and brings clarity to what’s unfolding.

✨ Offer yourself intentional care.
Therapy can stir a lot. Grounding practices like a walk outside, mindful breathing, creative expression, or a nourishing meal can help your nervous system settle.

✨ Carry insights into daily life.
Healing happens through small, lived moments. Consider one gentle way to apply what you explored, such as setting a boundary, practicing self-compassion, or noticing a familiar pattern with more awareness.

There’s no rush to “do it right.” Integration is personal, nonlinear, and deeply human.

If you’re navigating big emotions after sessions or want support making sense of what’s coming up, our therapists are here to walk alongside you.

We’re honored to share that Together We Heal Retreats has expanded our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offerings for 2026, creating more pathways for healing, connection, and inner transformation.

Our updated model is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Whether you’re stepping into KAP for the first time or returning to deepen your practice, our monthly group retreats offer a supportive, clinically-held space to soften, open, and reconnect with yourself.

KAP is a powerful modality for easing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and long-standing patterns of feeling stuck. Research shows that 8 dosing sessions can offer meaningful shifts in mood, insight, and emotional resilience, and our retreat structure was created with that in mind.

At The Lake Space, our serene, lakeside retreat center on the sacred lands of Lake Hopatcong, you’ll experience a full day of healing modalities including medicine work, somatic movement, art therapy, sound healing, and integrative energy practices.

We now offer three pathways:
✨ Intro to KAP Starter Series – Two consecutive dosing retreats for those beginning their relationship with the medicine.
✨ 8-Session Series – Monthly dosing retreats that support deeper therapeutic work and long-term integration.
✨ Drop-In Day Retreats – For those with prior KAP experience seeking refreshment, grounding, and community support.

Each retreat includes a full-day experience, plus virtual preparation and integration sessions to support your journey every step of the way.

If you feel called to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what’s possible through this work, our team would be honored to guide you.

Feeling drained, no matter how much you rest? Burnout isn’t just being tired; it’s a quiet weight that can touch your body, mind, and even your sense of self.

Some signs it may be burnout:
- Trouble sleeping or constant fatigue
- Feeling irritable, detached, or unmotivated
- Headaches, muscle tension, or changes in appetite

Healing from burnout doesn’t mean pushing harder. It’s about small, steady steps to reconnect with yourself and what matters:
- Notice what’s draining you and what lifts you up
- Set gentle boundaries with work, relationships, and commitments
- Take intentional pauses and check in with yourself
- Rediscover things that bring you joy, even in small ways
- Seek support when it feels too heavy to navigate alone

Recovery is a process, not a quick fix. You deserve care, rest, and guidance along the way. If burnout has been lingering, you don’t have to face it alone.

If you’re curious about what therapy can do for you, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. 💛

Sometimes loneliness can surface during the holidays, even when life looks full from the outside. It’s a deeply human experience, not a personal failure. Research shows that our bodies respond to loneliness much like physical pain, reminding us just how essential connection is to our emotional well-being.

The good news? There are small, intentional ways to support yourself through it.
Meaningful interactions, community engagement, and self-compassionate solitude can all help soften the weight of disconnection. Even the smallest steps, a walk with a friend, a mindful moment, or a creative ritual, can begin to shift how you feel.

And if this season feels particularly heavy, therapy can offer a grounded, steady place to explore what’s coming up.

If you’re seeking support, our therapists are here.

What helps you feel more connected during the holiday season?

11/28/2025

When the days get shorter and the cold settles in, it’s common to feel your mood shift. Winter can bring warmth and connection, but it can also bring fatigue, heaviness, and a quieter emotional landscape.

If you’ve been noticing that, you’re not alone.

There are gentle ways to support yourself through this season, small practices that help protect your energy, lift your mood, and bring you back into your body when things feel heavy.

Here are some winter coping skills to return to whenever you need them:

- Use grounding affirmations like “It’s okay to slow down”
- Take intentional breaks from screens
- Limit alcohol, sugar, or caffeine if they affect your mood
- Get outside for fresh air each day
- Say “no” when you need to
- Watch a comforting holiday movie
- Stay connected to supportive people (even virtually)
- Do something kind for someone else
- Journal or write
- Practice gratitude

What helps you cope and care for yourself during the winter months? 🤍
