Walking into a room, looking up, making direct eye contact with the overhead lights, and immediately becoming a different and worse person. 😅 We’re not saying it is rational, but it is real! Sensory sensitivity is more common than most people realize and there is actually an explanation for why certain environments feel like a personal attack. Our therapists can help you make sense of it. Reach out through our website to get started. 💙
Intrusive thoughts are not a sign that something is wrong with you. They are a sign that your brain is working overtime. There are ways to work with that. Five things that genuinely help when your brain will not let something go: Name it without engaging it. “There’s that thought again.” You do not have to solve it or make it mean something. Do something with your hands. Folding laundry, cooking, drawing. A task pulls your brain out of the loop. Change your physical state. Cold water on your face, step outside, move your body. Your body can interrupt what your mind cannot. Set a worry window. Give yourself 10 minutes to think about it fully and then move on. Say it in the most boring voice possible. Flat. Monotone. No drama. Your brain holds on less tightly to things it cannot make feel urgent. If intrusive thoughts are running your day, our team can help. Reach out through our website to get started.
Honored to support the Hope Meadows Gala Fundraiser, Anchored in Hope. 💙 As one of the evening’s sponsors, Strive CLE Counseling was proud to stand alongside a community dedicated to bringing hope, support, and brighter futures to children and families. Thank you to Hope Meadows for the incredible impact you continue to make and for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful event. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the night so special and inspiring. ✨
We show up ready every single time. For your kids, for your teens, and yes, for you too. Mmhmm. You too. At Strive CLE Counseling we believe healing works best when the whole family is supported. Whether your child needs a safe space or you realize you might too, we are here for all of it.
We found something depression didn’t want you to know about 👀 Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for treatment-resistant depression, and it’s working for people who’ve tried everything else and still aren’t feeling like themselves. It’s administered right here at Strive CLE in a calm, supportive setting while you relax. No rushing out the door. Just space to let it work. DM us to ask if Spravato could be your next step. 🩵
If you have spent your whole life thinking you were just too sensitive, too distracted, or too much, this one is for you. Most people think ADHD looks like a kid who cannot sit still. But, for a lot of adults it looks like exhaustion that does not make sense, sounds that take over your brain, and environments that feel overwhelming when everyone else seems fine. If this resonated, keep your eyes on our page. Something is coming soon that could finally give you some answers.
✨Therapist Tip with Kenize✨ Surrounding yourself with items that feel comforting or meaningful can help create a sense of calm and support throughout your day. Follow along as she shares a little tour of some of the things she’s added to her space to boost her mood and make it her own. What’s something in your space that brings you joy? Let us know below ⬇️ Looking to create more balance in your life? Reach out to Strive, we’re here to support you 💛
EMDR is one of the most effective trauma therapies out there. The first session though? A little chaotic. 😂 If your brain has ever refused to cooperate at the worst possible moment, you are not doing it wrong. Learning to slow down and notice takes practice. That is literally what the process is for. The results on the other side are worth every distracted, confused session it takes to get there. Curious whether EMDR could work for you? Reach out through our website to connect with one of our trained therapists at Strive. #Emdr #emdrtherapy #mentalhealth
We hope your Mother’s Day is giving exactly this. Unhinged. Fabulous. Fully yours. 😂
When you have spent years in survival mode, slowing down can feel irresponsible. Like something bad will happen if you stop moving. But constantly running on high alert is exhausting your nervous system. And it is keeping you stuck in a cycle that therapy can actually help you break. If your body has forgotten what calm feels like, we can help you find it again. Reach out through our website to connect with one of our therapists at Strive CLE Counseling
