We all have hard days! Let’s learn together to care for our minds and bodies so we can show up to be our best selves for everyone around us.

At The Mind and Body Clinic, we know healing is a whole-person journey — it’s not just about managing symptoms but learning to truly care for yourself with kindness and understanding.

Today’s therapy tip is simple but powerful:

✨ Talk to yourself like you would to someone you care deeply about. When you notice a mistake, a challenge, or a tough emotion, try this:

Pause — notice the thought or feeling

Acknowledge it without judgment

Offer yourself a compassionate phrase, like:
“This is hard, but I’m doing my best.”
“I deserve patience and understanding.”
“It’s okay to not be okay right now.”

Self-compassion isn’t weakness — it’s a vital part of healing and resilience. When we learn to treat ourselves with care, even on hard days, we support real growth and lasting wellness.

📞 Need tools to build self-compassion and resilience? Call The Mind and Body Clinic to learn how our holistic therapeutic support can help you feel truly seen and supported.

💌To the hearts that have been trying so hard — this one is for you.

At The Mind & Body Clinic, our mission is rooted in seeing the whole person. Not just what feels heavy right now, but the story, the strength, and the season you’re walking through. We believe care should feel steady, compassionate, and grounded — a place where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out before being supported.

If you’re ready for that kind of care, we’re here when you are.

At The Mind and Body Clinic, we believe healing happens when the mind and body are both given space to be understood—even in childhood.

Play therapy allows children to express thoughts and emotions in the way they know best: through play. Toys, games, art, and imagination become the language when words feel too big or hard to find.

Through play therapy, children can:
🧸 Safely process emotions
🎨 Work through trauma, stress, or life transitions
🧩 Build coping skills and emotional regulation
🤍 Strengthen confidence and connection

Our therapists meet children right where they are, creating a safe, supportive environment where growth and healing can unfold naturally—one playful moment at a time.

📞 If you’re wondering whether play therapy might be a good fit for your child, we’d love to talk with you.

💌This week’s letter is for those learning how to love and understand one another when you experience the world differently. In many relationships, especially when neurodiversity is part of the picture, misunderstandings can happen even when both people care deeply.

Sometimes connection grows not by fixing or solving, but by slowing down and becoming curious about what was meant before assuming intent.

If this resonates with your relationship, you’re not alone. Our team works with individuals navigating communication differences, neurodiversity, and relationship growth, and support is available when you’re ready.

💌 Shared with care from one of our therapy interns at Mind & Body Clinic, this month we’re sharing a series of love letters written for different stories, seasons, and lived experiences we see every day in our work.

This first letter is for those who’ve lived between worlds — shaped by different cultures, countries, and transitions, often carrying experiences that don’t always get named or understood.

One of our providers specializes in supporting third culture individuals, missionaries, and those navigating cross-cultural adjustment and reentry.

If this resonates, you’re not alone — and support is available when you’re ready.

✨ Behavior is communication. ✨

We often say behavior = need—and that need doesn’t always mean more attention from mom, dad, or a caregiver.
Sometimes it looks like consistency, downtime, or space to decompress.

Kids’ needs don’t look the same as adult needs.
They spend all day following rules, sitting still, and keeping it together. By the time they get home, that built-up pressure has to go somewhere.

So when behaviors feel “out of control,” it may simply be your child saying:
👉 I need an outlet.

That outlet might look like a snack, free play, movement, or unstructured time to just be—within healthy limits.

When we shift from asking “What’s wrong with this behavior?” to “What is this behavior telling me?”—connection grows. 💛

New week. New opportunities to care for your mind, your body, and your whole self.

At Mind & Body Clinic, our heart is to help you feel supported, grounded, and equipped to live well from the inside out. Mental health isn’t just about getting through the day… It’s about learning how to truly show up for your life.

This week, we encourage you to take one small step that supports your nervous system, your emotional well-being, and your growth (maybe that’s going for a walk, drinking more water, booking a session, or simply pausing to breathe). Progress doesn’t have to be loud. Healing doesn’t have to be rushed. And you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re honored to walk with you on your journey.

If you’ve ever flown on an airplane, you’ve heard this phrase. But have you ever stopped to think about how interesting it is that we need to be reminded to take care of ourselves before helping others?

Whether you’re a missionary, pastor, parent, social worker—or anyone in a helping role—it’s so easy to live in an others first mindset. And let’s be honest… life in these roles can feel pretty turbulent at times.

Helping others is meaningful work, and it’s something we’ve chosen wholeheartedly. But even helpers need gentle reminders to pause, breathe, and put their own emergency mask on first. Because when we do, we’re able to show up more fully, more sustainably, and with so much more to give. 🩷

Therapy can be that moment—putting the mask on for yourself.
Come explore what that could look like for you.

Healing is NOT:
- Fixing yourself.
- Pretending you’re fine.
- Doing more, trying harder.
- Avoiding hard conversations.

Healing is learning to listen—to your body, your emotions, and the truth underneath them. Sometimes that means pausing long enough to notice what your body has been carrying for years.

At 417 Mind & Body, we don’t rush the process or chase quick fixes. We believe understanding leads to compassion—and compassion leads to lasting change. 🤍

Cold weather can make it easier to disconnect from our bodies and stay in our heads.

At the Mind and Body Clinic, we believe healing includes listening to your body because it's part of your story too.

If it feels helpful, try this 60-second thaw and ground exercise as a small act of care today 🤍❄️
