How are you doing with rest?
Rest is more than sleep It is about health and restoring life. Counseling can help you develop a rhythm of rest.
This post is based on Saundra Dalton-Smith’s “The 7 types of rest that every person needs” post that is a part of TED’s “How to Be a Better Human” series.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Breaking the silence around mental health in our communities is not weakness. Your emotions are valid, your struggles are real, and your healing matters. Too often, pain is misunderstood and mislabeled. This BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month let’s break the cycle of silence.

Silence as an intervention.
A counselors uses silence to slow a moment down. This silence creates space to process, in the moment, deep feelings that live underneath the surface. These feelings lay silently, but not without impact. To be resolved they need to be unearthed.
