We all have a Negative Gremlin. 🥒
You know the one — that little voice that creeps in right when you're trying to grow something good. It whispers doubts. It tries to wilt your peace before it even blooms.
But here's the secret the Positive Pickle knows: you don't have to fight the gremlin. You just have to ground yourself in ONE positive thought… and watch it shield everything you're trying to grow. 🛡️🌸
Negativity fades when you root yourself in positivity.
So today, plant the good thought. Protect your peace. Let it bloom. 💛

🥒 Quick Positive Pickle Check-In 🥒
Imagine your inner gremlin and your Positive Pickle are sitting at the same table.
Your gremlin says:
👿 "What if I fail?"
What does your Positive Pickle say back?
Mine says:
💚 "Then I'll learn something."
💚 "Then I'll try again."
💚 "Then I'll know more than I did before."
Sometimes courage isn't getting rid of fear.
Sometimes courage is moving forward anyway.

🥒 Positive Pickle of the Day 🥒
Yesterday we talked about that little inner gremlin that likes to show up and tell us things like:
"I'm not good enough."
"I'm going to fail."
"Everyone else has it figured out."
Today, I want you to remember something important:
Just because a thought pops into your head doesn't mean it's true.
If a stranger walked up to you and said,
"You're a failure."
Would you automatically believe them?
Probably not.
So why do we believe it when our inner gremlin says it?
The next time that negative voice shows up, pause and ask:
"Is this a fact... or is this just my fear talking?"
Then let your Positive Pickle answer back.
🥒 "I'm learning."
🥒 "I'm growing."
🥒 "I'm doing the best I can."
🥒 "I don't have to be perfect."
Today's Positive Pickle reminder:
💚 Don't believe everything your inner gremlin tells you.
You deserve the same kindness you'd give to someone you love.

🥒 Positive Pickle of the Day 🥒
Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind can turn against you?
That little voice that says:
❌ "I'm not good enough."
❌ "I'm failing."
❌ "Everyone else has it figured out."
Today, I talked about externalizing that negative self-talk and imagining it as a little gremlin instead of treating it like the truth.
Because just because you think something doesn't mean you have to believe it.
When that gremlin starts talking, challenge it.
Then ask yourself:
💚 What would a Positive Pickle say instead?
Today's Positive Pickle reminder:
✨ You are enough.
✨ You are worthy.
✨ You don't have to earn your value.
The more we practice challenging negative self-talk, the less power it has over us.

🥒 Be a Positive Pickle Today! 🥒
At Therapy with Autumn, we believe small words can make a big difference.
So many people walk around carrying a harsh inner critic:
❌ "I'm not good enough."
❌ "I always mess things up."
❌ "Nobody cares."
But what if we challenged those thoughts?
What if we replaced them with:
💚 I am enough.
💚 I am worthy.
💚 I am capable.
💚 I can do hard things.
💚 I deserve kindness too.
Our Positive Pickle Project is all about spreading encouragement throughout our community—one reminder at a time.
Today, we'd love for you to join us:
👇 Comment ONE positive thing about yourself below.
It can be something you're proud of, something you've overcome, or simply something you need to hear today.
We'll start:
💚 You are enough.
Tag a friend who could use a little encouragement today.

No one talks about this part of grief.
The phone stops ringing.
People stop asking how you're doing.
Life keeps moving.
But your heart is still trying to catch up.
Grief isn't only about death.
Sometimes it's the end of a relationship.
The loss of a job.
A major life transition.
A change in health.
A move.
An empty nest.
Or the loss of a future you thought you'd have.
Whatever the loss, grief can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of how to move forward.
If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Our 6-Week Psychoeducational Grief Support Group is a compassionate space for adults navigating loss, life changes, and the in-between. Together, we'll learn about the grief process, explore practical coping tools, and connect with others who understand what it means to carry something heavy.

💜 Learn how grief affects the brain, body, emotions, and relationships
💜 Gain practical tools and strategies for coping
💜 Connect with others who understand
💜 Share, reflect, and heal in a supportive environment
💜 Find hope, connection, and growth

You don't have to have the right words.
You don't have to be "doing better."
You don't have to carry it alone.

🚩 “Why do we keep having the SAME argument?”
Different day. Same fight.
Same frustration. Same outcome.
You try to talk it through…
But it turns into the same cycle—again and again.
At some point, it stops feeling like a conversation…
and starts feeling like you’re just stuck.
💔 Feeling unheard
💔 Walking away frustrated
💔 Wondering if anything will actually change
Here’s the part most couples don’t realize:
It’s not that you don’t care about each other.
It’s that you’ve fallen into a pattern—and without the right tools, that pattern repeats.
✨ The good news? That cycle can be broken.
At Therapy with Autumn, we help couples step out of the same arguments and into real communication—in a space that is neutral, non-blaming, and focused on change.
Because you don’t have to keep doing this.
👩‍❤️‍👨 Now accepting new couples
📞 Call 903-638-0071 to get started
🌐 therapywithautumn.com
Your first step is just a quick, low-pressure phone call—easy to schedule and designed to feel comfortable from the start.
💛 Change is possible. And it can start sooner than you think.

Some days, it feels like you’re losing them a little more.
The conversations get shorter.
The door stays closed.
The stress, the mood swings, the overwhelm… it all feels bigger than before.
And you’re left wondering—
How do I help my teen when they won’t open up to me?
💛 You’re not alone in this.
Many parents are walking through the same thing—watching their teen struggle with anxiety, school pressure, confidence, or emotions they don’t know how to handle.
And the truth is… sometimes teens need a space that isn’t home.
A space where they can:
✨ Talk freely without fear of judgment
✨ Make sense of what they’re feeling
✨ Learn how to manage stress and emotions
✨ Start to feel like themselves again
That’s what we create at Therapy with Autumn.
A safe place. Real support. Lasting change.
📞 Call today: 903-638-0071

You don’t have to have all the answers to help your teen.
You just have to take the first step. 💜

“What does parent involvement in child therapy actually look like?”

Many parents wonder about this but are not always sure how to ask. Some worry they will be left out of the process. Some worry they will be blamed for what their child is experiencing. Some worry therapy means someone else is taking over. That is not how it works. When a child comes to therapy, parents are an important part of the process. You know your child better than anyone, and your insight matters.

Parent involvement may include:
• Conversations about what you are noticing at home
• Learning tools to support emotional regulation between sessions
• Guidance on how to respond to anxiety, big emotions, or shutdown behaviors
• Regular check-ins about progress and goals Therapy is not about replacing parents.

It is about strengthening the support system around your child. In many cases, the most meaningful progress happens when parents feel more equipped and confident in supporting their child at home.

At Therapy with Autumn, we view therapy as a partnership. Our goal is to support your child while also supporting you as a parent. If you have been wondering what your role would be in the process, we are always happy to talk through what therapy could look like for your family.
