Little River Counseling

Some people meet their goals and never need counseling again. Others face new challenges later and choose to come back.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with trying a different counselor. Every therapist has a different style, and someone else may be a better fit or bring skills that I don't.

But when someone feels safe enough to say, "Hey, I need a little help again," that's an incredible honor. I never celebrate that life got hard for them~ but I am deeply grateful that they trusted me enough to come back.

It really is odd to me that therapists are being blamed for people going no contact with their families.

Good therapists don't tell people to cut off their families. They help people recognize patterns, build healthy boundaries, and make their own decisions.

I also think the days when a title alone guaranteed unlimited access to someone's life are largely behind us. Healthy relationships require mutual respect. When someone says they've been hurt, a genuine apology and a willingness to repair the relationship usually go much further than, "I'm sorry you feel that way."

Anyway- thoughts by Daphne.

Can we talk about the ChatGPT flyer epidemic? 😂

I'm definitely not claiming my Canva posts are any better, but there's something about this trend that just makes me cringe a little.

And if you're going to use AI for your flyer... maybe give it one last look before you post it. Extra fingers, weird text, floating earrings ~AI still likes to keep us humble. 😂

But hey, you do you, boo.

Am I the only one who has this reaction? If not, tell me why. And if you disagree, I'd genuinely love to hear your perspective.

Sometimes I wish we could bottle up that freedom and hand it to women in their twenties. We spend so many years trying to fit into trends or dress for everyone else's approval.

Case in point: I wish I'd had the confidence years ago to let go of skinny jeans. They were never the most flattering thing on me, but I kept wearing them because they were "in."
Better late than never. These days I'm wearing what I like, what feels good, and what actually suits me~not what's trending. And honestly? That freedom is one of the best gifts perimenopause has given me.

Personal anecdote on ai and counseling- ways to use it for growth and how it can miss things and be dangerous.

Freedom isn’t just something we celebrate as a country. Sometimes it’s the freedom to heal, rest, and ask for support when we need it.

FYI!

☀️ A summer reminder ☀️

If you or someone you love takes medication for their mental health, this is a reminder worth keeping in mind.

Some antidepressants and antipsychotics can make it harder for your body to regulate heat, which means hot summer days may affect you more than you realize. Feeling more exhausted, dizzy, overwhelmed, or unwell in the heat isn’t always “just the weather.”

So as temperatures rise:
💧 Drink plenty of water.
🧡 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
🧢 Wear light clothing when possible.
☀️ Listen to your body and don’t push through if something feels off.

Taking care of your mental health also means taking care of your physical health.

Share this to your story because never know who might need the reminder today. ❤️
