Generational trauma is like inheriting a family recipe you never asked for.

The good news? Therapy helps you decide what ingredients stay and what gets left out.

Because “that’s just how our family is” doesn’t have to be how your story ends.

We can help with that 💚

Maslow’s Corner 🐾

Hi humans. Maslow here.

Just a reminder that mental health is kind of like being a dog:

* Sometimes you need a snack before you can process emotions.
* Sometimes the problem is that you’re tired.
* Sometimes you need to go outside and sniff around dramatically for a while.
* Sometimes you need water, a nap, and for nobody to talk to you for 20 minutes.

That’s called self-care. I practice it professionally.

Also, if you’ve been growling at everyone lately, you may not be “lazy” or “bad at coping.”
You might just be overwhelmed and running on emotional crumbs and caffeine.

Please remember:
Eat something.
Move your body a little.
Text someone safe.
Rest without earning it first.

And if all else fails… lay in a sunny spot on the floor.
Works for me every time.

New research reveals that acceptance and commitment therapy reduces depression even when it's not the target. The reason why might change how you think about mood entirely.
