We know Pride can bring complicated feelings alongside the celebration. You're not alone in that.
Living as your authentic self in a world that often works against you is an act of profound courage. THAT doesn't go unnoticed.
But courage can have a cost. Showing up again and again — navigating hostile spaces, educating others, carrying grief — accumulates. And it can weigh on your nervous system.
That's why this month, we're talking about something easy to deprioritize when the world feels heavy: Your own care.
Healing doesn't only happen in the therapy room. It happens in the small, intentional choices you make every day — the boundaries you hold, the rest you allow, the moments you choose yourself without apology.
This month, we're inviting you to sit with one question: What does care look like for you right now?
Maybe it's saying no to something draining. Maybe it's reconnecting with community. Maybe it's sleep, movement, or nourishment. Maybe it's giving yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling — without rushing to fix it.
Whatever comes up — it matters. And you deserve to act on it. This month: identify one thing you need to feel sustained right now. Write it down. Tell someone you trust. Or bring it into your next therapy session. 🏳️‍🌈

When preparing for a new baby, most of us spend months creating a birth plan, setting up the nursery, and checking items off a registry.
But what about a plan for your recovery?
The postpartum period is a time of immense physical, emotional, and psychological adjustment. While every experience is unique, there are a few areas that deserve thoughtful planning before baby arrives:
✨ Sleep & rest
Talk with your partner or support person about who handles which nighttime feedings and wake-ups
Schedule dedicated sleep and rest time for yourself — protect it like any other appointment�
✨ Social support
Look into ways to connect with other parents: library story times, local Facebook groups, PSI online support groups
Name at least one person you can call for: errands, emotional support, and late-night check-ins�
✨ Mental & emotional well-being
Identify 5–10 minute reset activities and go-to coping strategies for when you need a break
Reflect on whether now is a good time to start — or reconnect with — therapy�
✨ Physical recovery
Consider scheduling a pelvic floor physical therapy assessment — this is valuable for all birth types
Plan a gentle, gradual return to physical movement and exercise�
✨ Meals & household responsibilities
Arrange help to stock your freezer before your due date
Consider setting up a meal train through friends, family, or your community
Identify who can help with basic cleaning and household tasks during your recovery weeks
�✨ Visitor expectations and boundaries
Decide who you want to see the baby and when — and give yourself permission to change your mind
Identify any boundaries you want to communicate to visitors ahead of time
Creating a postpartum plan isn't about controlling the unpredictable—it's about building a foundation of support so you don't have to carry everything alone.

May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month! We’re highlighting common issues that folks experience in the postpartum period and how to get support.

Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders
What is a PMAD?

A group of common and treatable mental health conditions that affect new parents — during pregnancy and up to one year postpartum.

Who's at risk
PMADs are more common than you think.

1 in 5 birthing parents & 1 in 10 partners
Those with a history of anxiety or mood disorders are at even greater risk.

Types of PMADs

Depression- Deep sadness, hopelessness, or disinterest in baby lasting longer than 2 weeks.

Anxiety -Constant worry, panic attacks, or racing thoughts.

Bipolar Disorder -Cycling between mania (extreme energy, delusions) and depression.

OCD- Intrusive, repetitive thoughts.

PTSD - Flashbacks or nightmares related to birth or medical trauma.

Psychosis - Rare but serious — may include hearing voices or distrust of others. Seek professional help immediately.

Get help
You're not alone.

Therapy for substance use looks different for everyone. Some people want to better understand the role substances play in their lives. Others are seeking support around how to moderate their use or support abstinence related goals.
There is no one-size-fits-all goal. Your relationship with substances is unique to you — and your treatment goals can be too.
So what is harm reduction? An approach that meets you where you are — without judgment — while working to reduce the health, social, and legal impacts of use.
For some, harm reduction means finding safer ways to moderate use. For others, it means building an abstinence plan to support sobriety and recovery.
The goal is always positive change — like increasing motivation toward health-related goals, reducing conflict with loved ones that occurs during intoxication, or obtaining substances from a known source and using test strips.
At Resilient Self Therapy, we collaborate with you to assess your concerns and set goals that feel right for you.
Ready to explore your relationship with substances in a safe, nonjudgmental space? Visit ResilientSelfTherapy.com or email [email protected] to book a consultation today.

What does resilience actually mean? Learn more about why we’re called Resilient Self Therapy and book today to unlock your most resilient self.

Resilience — The capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties, though speed isn’t necessarily what’s most essential.

Resilience refers to the inner strength that comes from struggle that is uniquely your own. It is a specific kind of knowing — one that lives in the body, not just the mind.

Life's challenges open doors that success keeps closed — expanding us in directions we never could have mapped from ease.

Resilience is a muscle — like mindfulness, built through presence, attention, and returning again and again through practice and repetition.

Your resilient self is not waiting to be unlocked by the right circumstances. It is already here.

The path is simply learning to meet it with a new perspective, the practice of applying insights to new behavioral patterns, and self compassion practices.

A common question we get is how often clients should attend therapy. It's an important question and an investment in one of the most important things in your life… yourself! We’ve broken down some of the options so you can make the right decision for you:
We recommend weekly sessions, especially when starting therapy. This helps build rapport and address acute issues.
At RST we require that all new clients begin with weekly sessions to allow time for rapport to be established between you and your therapist.
After that point, if weekly sessions are not still desired, bi-weekly sessions can be an option to allow more time between sessions to process insights and apply skills.
We recommend multiple sessions per week when folks are seeking faster results and/or feel ready for deeper work.
The key is finding the right balance for your needs, therapy goals, and budget. All of these points can be touched on in the consultation or intake so you can choose what feels right for you.
