Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his reminder that justice, dignity, and compassion are not abstract ideals. They are lived, daily practices.

At The Talking Pointe, we believe mental health care is deeply connected to justice. When people are unheard, unsafe, or denied space to exist fully as themselves, the impact lives in the body, the mind, and the nervous system.

Dr. King spoke of a “beloved community.” Therapy can be one small but powerful part of building that community. A space where truth is welcomed, healing is possible, and people are supported as they reclaim their voice.

Today, we reflect.
Today, we listen.
Today, we recommit to care that is inclusive, affirming, and rooted in humanity.

Healing is not separate from justice.
It is part of it.

Showing up for yourself doesn’t always look like doing more.

Sometimes it looks like resting before you’re exhausted, saying no without overexplaining, or letting something be unfinished.

Healing often happens in these quiet moments. When you choose presence over pressure and self-trust over self-criticism.

January doesn’t need a new version of you.

It asks for honesty about your capacity, compassion for your limits, and permission to move slowly.
Intentions aren’t about fixing yourself they’re about staying connected to yourself while life continues to be full, messy, and demanding.

You are allowed to begin this year gently.

Christmas Eve can look many different ways.

You may be surrounded by family, with chosen people, or spending tonight quietly on your own.

However this evening finds you, please know this: you are enough exactly as you are.

You don’t need to be more connected, more joyful, or more okay than you are right now.

From Allison at The Talking Pointe, thank you for trusting us with your stories, your growth, and your healing this year.
It is an honor to walk alongside you.

Wishing you a gentle, grounded Christmas Eve 🤍

Love Is Christmas has always been my favorite Christmas song. Not because it’s flashy or loud, but because it reminds me that love lives in the quiet moments. In presence. In softness. In staying.

Therapy is often about relearning this kind of love. Steady, imperfect, and real.
The kind that meets you exactly where you are.

Maybe you’re simplifying.
Maybe you’re grieving.
Maybe you’re starting over.
Maybe you’re choosing calm instead of chaos.

However you’re showing up this season, it’s valid.
You don’t have to match anyone else’s pace or energy.

At The Talking Pointe, we honor your unique journey and the courage it takes to create a life that feels good for you.

Some victories aren’t wrapped in shiny paper or tied with a bow.

Some wins look like:

Getting out of bed.
Sending the text back.
Taking that deep breath before reacting.
Choosing yourself... even once.

Your quiet progress deserves celebration.
You’re growing every day, even in the hidden places.

At The Talking Pointe, we honor the wins that happen inside.

This time of year can feel like too much.
Too many plans.
Too many expectations.
Too many emotions happening all at once.

If you feel overwhelmed, there’s nothing wrong with you.
Your nervous system is doing its best with what’s in front of it.

At The Talking Pointe, we support you in slowing down, regulating, and taking care of the you beneath the stress.

You deserve a season that feels safe for your heart. 🤍

The holidays can bring joy, but they can also bring grief, overwhelm, complicated relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

Just a reminder:
You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Support is strength.
Rest is allowed.
And your feelings, whatever they are, are valid this season.

The Talking Pointe is here to help you find grounding, connection, and safety; even in the emotional noise of December.

One of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself this season is a boundary.
Saying no.
Leaving early.
Not engaging in a draining conversation.
Skipping the event that overwhelms you.

Boundaries aren’t rejection, they’re protection.
They create emotional safety in a season that often stretches us thin.

At The Talking Pointe, we believe boundaries are a form of self-respect… and self-care.

December often becomes a “do more” month. More events, more expectations, more running on empty.

This is your reminder:

Your value has nothing to do with your output.
You don’t have to earn rest.
Your worth remains steady, even when your energy is low or your to-do list stays unfinished.

At The Talking Pointe, we support the version of you that chooses rest, calm, and emotional alignment, not burnout.

12/05/2025

December holds a lot. Joy, nostalgia, pressure, grief, magic, exhaustion, and everything in between.
You don’t have to force yourself into one feeling or one version of yourself.

You’re allowed to feel all of it.
You’re allowed to take breaks.
You’re allowed to create emotional space for what this season brings up.

At The Talking Pointe, we honor the full spectrum of your emotional experience. Not just the polished parts.
