🌱 Continuing to Learn. Continuing to Grow.

One of the things I value about being a therapist is that the learning never really stops.

I recently attended the in-person Using Sandtray and Expressive Arts in Play Therapy training presented by Marshall Lyles, LPC-S, LMFT-S, RPT-S.

It was wonderful to experience Marshall's teaching in person and learn from the depth of knowledge and experience he brings to sandtray, expressive arts, and play therapy. I especially appreciated the opportunity to think more deeply about how creative and expressive approaches can give clients additional ways to communicate and process experiences when words alone may not be enough.

As someone who works with children, teens, neurodivergent clients, and families, continuing to expand my play therapy and expressive-arts skills is an important part of my professional development.

And yes—I’m also a proud owner of Marshall Lyles and Linda Homeyer's Advanced Sandtray Therapy: Digging Deeper into Clinical Practice. 📚

I'm grateful for opportunities like this to keep learning, refining my clinical skills, and bringing that continued growth back into the work I do with clients.

Hair loss can change more than your appearance. It can also affect how you see yourself.

For some people, living with alopecia may bring changes in confidence, self-image, identity, social comfort, and emotional well-being. There may be grief over changes in appearance, anxiety about how others may respond, or frustration with unwanted questions and attention.

Therapy does not treat alopecia or hair loss. It can, however, provide a supportive space to process the emotional experiences that may accompany those changes.

At Healing Is a Journey, therapy can support concerns related to self-image, anxiety, grief, stress, confidence, and self-compassion.

💚 Your appearance may change. Your worth does not.

You can be accomplished and still question yourself.

You can earn the degree, get the promotion, build the career, receive the compliment, or accomplish something you once worked incredibly hard for—and still quietly wonder:

Do I really belong here? Am I actually good enough? What if people eventually realize I don't know as much as they think I do?

Imposter feelings can make it difficult to fully experience your accomplishments because self-doubt keeps moving the finish line.

But feeling uncertain about yourself doesn't erase the work you've done to get where you are.

Sometimes growth isn't about accomplishing one more thing to finally prove you're enough. It's learning to recognize the evidence that's already there.

💚 Your self-doubt does not erase your capability.

This month on the Healing Is a Journey blog, I'm exploring imposter feelings, why they can show up even among capable and successful people, and practical ways to begin challenging the doubt.

💚 World Su***de Prevention Day | September 10

Today is an opportunity to remind ourselves that conversations about su***de prevention matter—not just today, but throughout the year.

Someone who is struggling may not always look like they are struggling. A check-in, a willingness to listen without judgment, taking concerns seriously, and helping someone connect with appropriate support can matter.

If you're concerned about someone, don't be afraid to ask how they're really doing. And if you are struggling, you deserve the opportunity to be heard and supported.

You do not have to carry a crisis alone.

📱 In the U.S., call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential, 24/7 crisis support.

💚 September is Su***de Prevention Month

Sometimes support begins with a conversation.

Checking in with someone, asking how they are really doing, listening without judgment, and helping them connect with appropriate support can matter more than we realize.

Throughout September, Healing Is a Journey LLC is joining organizations across the country in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and reminding individuals and families that help is available and no one has to navigate a mental health crisis alone.

NAMI has created a Su***de Prevention Month resource center with information about warning signs, supporting someone in crisis, resources for individuals and families, and ways to start meaningful conversations.

https://www.nami.org/stay-connected/events/awareness-events/su***de-prevention-month/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or having thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

This post is provided for general education and awareness only. It is not therapy, crisis counseling, medical advice, or a substitute for professional care. Healing Is a Journey LLC does not provide emergency or crisis services through social media. If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Knowing what to look for can help save a life.

Withdrawing from loved ones, changes in sleep, increased aggression, reckless behavior, or extreme mood swings can be warning signs that someone may be struggling or thinking about su***de.

Recognize the signs. Reach out. Listen without judgment. Remind them they’re not alone. 💜

Talking about su***de isn’t harmful. Silence is.

Start a conversation. Be the difference. Find more resources at nami.org/SPM.

September is National Recovery Month. 💚 https://www.samhsa.gov/resource/recovery/national-recovery-month

Recovery can look different for every person. It may involve treatment, rebuilding relationships, developing healthier coping skills, reconnecting with community, or simply continuing to take the next step forward.

This month is an opportunity to recognize the strength of individuals in recovery and the families, professionals, peers, and communities who walk alongside them.

Recovery is not always a straight line—and no one should have to navigate it alone.

Healing Is a Journey LLC is proud to join the conversation by sharing trusted resources throughout September.
