Grove Reflections 🌿
What does support really look like in a rural community?
Sometimes it means fewer resources.
But it also means collaboration, connection, and people working together to care for families.
Our newest Grove Reflections blog explores the realities of mental health care in smaller communities and why community support matters.

New Episode Out Now! 🎧

In this episode of Grove: Beyond the Couch, Melissa and Susan are joined by Isha and Lori of Insightful Counseling in Sparta and Cookeville for a meaningful conversation about collaboration, community care, and the growing need for mental health support in rural communities.

Together, they talk about what it looks like to serve children, adults, and families in the Upper Cumberland, with a special focus on:

• Autism support
• Caregiver stress
• School collaboration
• The challenges families face while waiting for evaluations and services

It’s a thoughtful conversation about meeting people where they are, building stronger resources in small communities, and why supporting caregivers matters just as much as supporting the child.

You can find Isha, Lori, and the rest of their team on their website:

Important note: Listening to this podcast is not therapy. It may be therapeutic, but it is not a substitute for individualized mental health treatment. If you’re looking for a therapist, we’d love to help you get connected.

March is Self-Harm Awareness Month

Self-harm is not attention seeking.
It’s not a failure of willpower.
It’s a coping strategy.

It is often a nervous system trying to regulate something that feels unbearable.

For some people, having alternatives can help when the urge spikes, not as a “fix”, and not as a demand to stop, but as additional options in moments of overwhelm.

When the urge feels intense, some people find these options helpful:

• Press something cold against your skin (ice cubes, cold packs)
• Draw on your skin with a marker instead of injuring
• Splash cold water on your face or neck
• Write about what the urge is trying to say
• Use strong sensory input (music, movement, a shower)
• Hold or squeeze something firm
• Place a bandage on the area you want to hurt
• Cry, if that’s what your body needs
• Create something (paint, draw, colour)
• Reach out to someone safe

These won’t work for everyone.
And if they don’t work for you, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Awareness means reducing shame.
It means responding with curiosity instead of control.
It means building safety around people, not policing their coping.

Self-Harm Awareness Month from Rae Sabine

Healing doesn’t usually look dramatic.
It looks like showing up. Again. And again.

In Grove: Beyond the Couch latest episode, The Quiet Work of Therapy, we unpack:
- Why progress feels slow
- Why sessions can feel heavy
- Why change happens between sessions
- Why healing isn’t linear

Plus, we share updates on new groups, childcare support, and community offerings connected to our nonprofit work.

If you’ve ever felt “stuck,” this one’s for you.

We are so grateful for a team that shows up for our clients in every way — keeping the office running, breaking language barriers, and doing it all with joy.

Access to care matters. Representation matters. And yes… sometimes it comes with a dance entrance. 💚

Survival sometimes looks quiet.

It looks like carrying what comforts you while learning to walk forward anyway.
It looks like adapting when life didn’t unfold the way you expected.
It looks like finding safety wherever you can- even in small things.

Healing doesn’t always look strong or confident. Sometimes it looks tender. Sometimes it looks uncertain. Sometimes it simply looks like continuing.

We believe survival itself is evidence of resilience. And when survival is met with compassion, support, and connection, it can slowly become healing.

If you’re in a season of just getting through, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re surviving. And that matters. 💚
