Turn the Mind
@turnthemind.bsky.social
We transform lives through innovative, evidence-based therapies. We offer DBT, Trauma Therapies (EMDR & Somatic Experiencing), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We create an affirming space for LTBTQIA+ & BIPOC clients.
Exposure and Response Prevention is the gold standard treatment for OCD because it retrains the fear system itself.

It is not about forcing or flooding.
It is about learning, over time, that anxiety does not control your actions.

The goal isn’t to stop thoughts.
It’s to stop treating every what-if like an emergency.
Name it → Normalize it → Redirect gently.

Our brains crave predictability, but avoiding uncertainty teaches your mind:
❌ “I can’t handle this.”
The more you practice tolerating small unknowns, the quieter the anxiety becomes. You’re rewiring your brain each time.

Anxiety convinces us certainty is the only safe option—but the truth is, life is uncertain and still manageable.
Learning to pause the What-If Machine is how your brain learns you can handle the unknown. 💛

Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but many people beginning DBT start noticing small shifts within a few months.
These early wins matter. Keep going. 💙

DBT is an investment, often 6–12 months for the full program… but progress happens along the way.
Slow and steady healing is still healing. You’re building something long-lasting. ❤️

“Getting better” in DBT doesn’t mean feeling happy all the time — it means building stability, reducing harmful patterns, and gaining the skills to navigate intense emotions. 💛

Understanding gender-affirming care starts with listening, learning, and supporting teens where they are.
Every young person deserves to feel seen and supported.

Gender identity exploration isn’t a trend — it’s real. Many teens who question their gender are simply looking for space, safety, and acceptance while they figure out who they are.

For PTSD: treatments often focus on processing a specific event.
For C-PTSD: often first comes stabilization — learning safety, boundaries & emotional regulation — before diving in.

This line hits hard because many folks with PTSD feel exactly this — reliving an event long after it’s over.
It’s okay to acknowledge this. It’s okay to reach out.

Explore how Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) can look similar — and how they differ. Knowledge is power. You’re not alone, and help is possible.

EMDR isn’t magic.
It’s neuroscience. 🧠
In an EMDR session, the parts of the brain that handle fear, memory, and regulation start working together again — instead of staying stuck in survival mode.

Today, we remember the transgender and gender-diverse people whose lives were taken by violence, discrimination, and hate. This day is a call for reflection and a commitment to creating a world where trans and non-binary people can live safely, openly, and with dignity.

“What if your memories stopped hurting?” 🌿

EMDR doesn’t erase your past. EMDR changes how your brain holds it.
What once felt raw and overwhelming can shift into something neutral, no longer pulling you back.

It’s not magic—it’s neuroscience.
EMDR helps calm your amygdala (your brain’s alarm system) and synchronizes brain waves—helping stuck memories finally move into the past where they belong.

This is the panic loop.
CBT teaches you to recognize this pattern and interrupt it before it spirals. You don't have to fight every sensation. You can learn to respond differently.

Panic attacks feel out of control, but they follow a pattern — and CBT teaches you how to interrupt it.

For LGBTQIA+ folks, self-validation is more than emotional work, it’s reclaiming truth after years of being told to shrink, mask, or justify their existence.
DBT offers language that undoes shame and honors identity.

So many LGBTQIA+ clients have internalized years of invalidation — from families, systems, or even themselves.
DBT reminds us: You don’t have to agree with every emotion to validate it.

Internalized oppression is when we absorb society's negative messages and turn them against ourselves 💔
But here's the truth: these aren't YOUR thoughts— Healing begins with validation.

The Middle Path is one of DBT’s most practical skills for families. It transforms conflict into communication. When we meet in the middle, understanding and connection can begin.
