Understanding something intellectually doesn’t always change how we respond to it emotionally or physically.

One of the interesting findings in trauma research is that our responses to perceived threats can persist even when we consciously recognize that we’re safe.

Someone might understand that conflict doesn’t necessarily mean rejection, yet still experience intense anxiety and Nervous System activation when another person becomes upset.

Someone else might recognize that they’re no longer in a threatening environment but continue to experience hypervigilance, muscle tension, or difficulty relaxing. This could be due to trauma or even anxiety sensitivity. These responses aren’t necessarily conscious choices. Our brains use previous experiences to help anticipate and respond to potential threats.

Research also suggests that meaningful change involves more than developing insight. Learning new responses, practicing emotional regulation, and processing difficult experiences can all play a role.

This is part of what makes psychotherapy interesting: knowing something and experiencing it differently are not always the same thing. And both can be important parts of healing.

Happy Friday! 💚

We’re so excited for today’s Peer Consultation Group at Carmel Therapy Network!

Peer consultation is something we prioritize regularly as a team. It provides an opportunity for our clinicians to come together, collaborate on cases, explore different therapeutic modalities, share clinical perspectives, and continue growing alongside one another.

Today, we’re especially excited to welcome Stephanie Miuando, LCSW, a trauma specialist and somatic clinician, who will be leading our consultation group!

We believe that continued learning, collaboration, and meaningful clinical conversations are essential to providing thoughtful, trauma-informed care.

When we invest in our clinicians, we invest in the quality of care we provide to our clients. 🌿

🩵 October 15 | Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day

Today, we pause to honor the little lives that left lasting footprints on the hearts of those who loved them.

Pregnancy and infant loss is a grief that often goes unseen. It can carry heartbreak, unanswered questions, shattered expectations, and the loss of a future once imagined.

At Carmel Therapy Network, we recognize that grief does not follow a timeline, and there is no single right way to navigate loss. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, whether you speak openly about your experience or hold it privately, your grief matters.

To the parents carrying this loss, we see you. Your experience deserves compassion, understanding, and space to be acknowledged. Today, we remember the babies who were deeply loved, the families forever changed, and the stories that deserve to be heard. 🩵

A heartfelt thank you to Sharayah Tornquist from Atlas Therapy for generously sending Carmel Therapy Network sand tray therapy starter kits when she heard about our upcoming training! 🩵🥰

Here are just a few of the many little bags she shared with us! We are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and the encouragement of fellow providers who care about supporting one another.

We’re excited for our team to train in sand tray therapy this year as we expand our skills in nonverbal processing and bring more creative, trauma-informed approaches into our work with clients.

Thank you, Sharayah, for helping us get started! 🩵

☀️☀️☀️I used canva and made a little cartoon ☀️☀️☀️ before becoming a therapist I was an art major and I love still being creative when I can. I have never made an animation before so I really enjoyed learning and expressing creativity in a new way. Hope this little ray of sunshine finds you!
