Never rob a therapist. You might leave with less cash and more self awareness. 😂

Your first therapy session doesn’t have to feel intimidating.

We know meeting your therapist for the first time can come with a lot of nerves. You may be wondering what to say, where to start, or how much you’re expected to share. 💭

The answer: you can go at your own pace.

Your first session is a chance to get to know your therapist, talk about what brought you in, ask questions, and begin building a space where you feel comfortable opening up.

You do not have to share everything on day one. Therapy can unfold one conversation at a time.

Sometimes su***de prevention looks like checking in.

A text. A phone call. A hug. Sitting beside someone when they do not have the words. Listening without trying to fix everything.

Small moments of connection can matter more than we realize.

This Su***de Prevention Month, check on your people. Ask how they are really doing. Make space for the honest answer.

And if you’re the friend who has been carrying a lot quietly, you deserve support too.

Heights Family Counseling offers therapy in Houston and San Antonio, with virtual sessions available throughout Texas.

Suppressing emotions can look a lot like pouring a shaken bottle of soda into a glass.

The bottle is open, but everything comes rushing out at once. It fizzes, spills over, and becomes hard to contain. 😬

Emotions can work the same way.

When we keep pushing feelings down, they do not disappear. They can build until something small causes everything to overflow.

Allowing emotions gives you space to feel them as they come.

Pause.
Take a few deep breaths.
Notice what you are feeling.
Give yourself permission to sit with it.

When emotions have space to move through you, they can feel a lot less overwhelming.

Therapy can help you learn how to understand and process your emotions instead of holding everything in until it spills over.

For kids, play can be one of the most natural ways to communicate what they’re feeling, especially when they don’t have the words to explain it yet. 💬

And back to school can bring up a LOT.

New routines. Academic pressure. Friendship changes. Separation anxiety. Big emotions. Behavior changes that seem to come out of nowhere.

Play therapy gives children a developmentally appropriate space to work through those feelings, practice coping skills and build confidence in a way that feels natural to them. Research has found play therapy can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and behavioral concerns in children. ↘️

Michele Kamerman, LPC, RPT, CCATP, is our Senior Lead Child and Play Therapist. She specializes in working with children and families and supports concerns including anxiety, ADHD, peer and social challenges, life transitions, self esteem, grief, trauma and more.

If the transition back to school has been harder on your child than you expected, this may be a good time to give them some extra support.

Michele is currently accepting new clients in Houston. Contact us to get started! 🤍

Most of us were never really taught how to process our emotions.

So when something comes up, our first instinct might be to avoid it, overthink it, distract ourselves, or try to make it go away.

Processing an emotion can look a lot simpler.

Notice where you feel it in your body.
Stay with the sensation for a few breaths.
Put simple words to what you’re feeling.
Give it some time.

You don’t have to figure everything out right away. Sometimes the work is simply learning how to sit with what you’re feeling long enough for your body to move through it.

Save this for the next time an emotion feels hard to sit with.

Where does the feeling of “I’m not good enough” come from? 💭

Sometimes, it starts much earlier than we realize. Growing up with criticism, comparison, high expectations, inconsistent affection, rejection, or feeling like you had to earn approval can shape the way you see yourself long into adulthood.

Over time, that belief can show up as perfectionism, people pleasing, constantly seeking reassurance, difficulty accepting compliments, or feeling like your best is never enough.

Therapy can help you understand where those patterns began, recognize the beliefs you’ve carried with you, and build a healthier relationship with yourself.

You don’t have to keep measuring your worth by how well you perform or how others perceive you. 🤍
