If it feels like suddenly everyone you know is in therapy… you’re probably right. You don’t need a crisis or a resume of trauma to keep your mental health in check. If you believe mental health matters, put that belief into practice and connect with a therapist. #therapy #trauma #healing #stress #stressmanagement #therapist #counselor #counseling #onlinetherapy #floridatherapy #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #recovery #mentalwellness

Before scrolling to the next post, take a minute to consider the shoe we’re all inhabiting. Some people fit into this life cozier than the rest of us and that’s okay. Ill-fitting shoes can slow us down, trip us up, and give us blisters. We are presented with a choice; allow these shoes to ruin the journey, or find ways to modify those shoes so they work for you. At RSL Counseling, our commitment to our community is to ensure each of us learns the power in our own feet and st

Self Care isn’t selfish. Self care allows us more room for compassion; more energy for empathy & love.

Boundaries are a hot topic right now & for a good reason. As we heal the wounds of generational trauma and break toxic cycles in relationships and families it’s tempting to lean on boundary-setting as a means of protection. Unfortunately, setting boundaries requires a bit more work on our part. Identifying an undesirable behavior is only step one. The next step is deciding how you intend to enforce this boundary. It’s not enough to say “I don’t allow people to speak to me tha

It’s so important to practice gratitude in good times and bad. The message of gratitude is meaningful but implications of its practice have become oppressive and shaming. When someone is suffering we have a tendency to begin our condolences with expressions like “at least…” followed by some positive aspect of your life or a harsh comparison to someone who has it way worse. The natural conclusion we make is “as long as I have something to be grateful for my grief is not valid.

If your boundaries are upsetting the people around, there’s a good chance those are the people who need the boundaries. You would never be angry with someone you loved protecting their physical, mental or emotional wellness. If your self care creates a negative reaction in a relationship (romantic or otherwise), that person is prioritizing their comfort over your healing. Choose you. For backup on boundaries and learning to communicate in a healthy way that honors your needs

Struggle is synonymous with living. A life free of struggle is a life absent change & personal growth. If you’re struggling it means you’re trying. Struggle is an answer to a challenge life has presented you. To avoid the struggle is to surrender the challenge. Struggle can be uncomfortable; it can make you feel like you’re doing something wrong or that you’ve lost your way. Don’t allow the temptation of ease to discourage your journey. Get support for your struggle and partn

If you never get a full charge, you’re always working from a place of anxiety and pressure. If you constantly feel overwhelmed and overworked there’s a good chance you your battery has been on low for a long time. How do you charge your battery? When was the last time your battery felt charged? #selfcare #selflove #mentalhealth #womenshealth #womenhealing #grouptherapy #therapy #therapyquotes #therapyforsouthflorida #floridatherapist #selflove #selfcare #quotes #onlinetherapy

Anxiety can be tricky. Fear is a biological reaction to real or perceived danger. Fear is a necessary function of survival. Fear becomes anxiety when our minds latch on to the false belief that our hyper vigilance will help us avoid pain all together. The problem with this goal is that we know it’s unattainable. No one can avoid pain completely, nor should we. Instead we must embrace pain as an equally important function of survival. Pain is the catalyst for pain; it is the f

Emotional wounds are not healed through advice or action. Emotional wounds must be felt, processed, and validated before we can heal. #emotional #emotionalintelligence #emotionalwounds #emotionalsupport #validation #empathy #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #trust #relationships #relationshipquotes #relationshipgoals #support #healing #innerchild #recovery #therapy #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #trauma #traumatherapy #traumarecove

“Trust Issues” begin & end with the trust we have in ourselves. If we truly trust ourselves we have nothing to fear by placing trust in others. When trust is broken we can still experience hurt. Trust in ourselves allows us to process that hurt without the fear that pain will undo us completely. #boundaries #trust #trustissues #trusttheprocess #motivation #motivationalquotes #innerpeace #innerchild #innerchildhealing #traumarecovery #traumahealing #therapy #selflove #selfcare
