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.
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.

Transgender Awareness isn’t just about visibility — it’s about honoring authenticity. 💙💗🤍
Every person deserves to live in alignment with who they are — without fear, shame, or apology.

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.

When parents and teens learn to step out of the tug-of-war and into understanding, communication grows, conflict softens, and connection deepens. 🌿

The Middle Path helps parents and teens move from “either/or” to “both/and.” It’s not about being perfectly balanced — it’s about staying open and curious.

“I know I’m safe… but I don’t feel safe.”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken — you’re simply carrying a nervous system wired for survival, not relaxation.

Healing trauma isn’t just talking it out — it’s feeling safe in your body again.
At Turn The Mind, we believe in bottom-up regulation: tools that help your body signal to your brain, I’m okay now.

DBT skills only work if you practice them — just like building a muscle. 💪
Every time you use a skill — even once — you’re teaching your brain a new way to respond.
That’s how change happens. 🌱

People don’t come to DBT just to “learn skills.” They come to feel understood.
To stop feeling like emotions are running their life.
To finally find peace within the chaos.

DBT helps you find balance—accepting yourself and making change.
You’ll learn skills for mindfulness, managing emotions, handling stress, and improving relationships.

Feeling anxious? You’re not alone 💭

✨ Small shifts in thinking can lead to big changes in how you feel.
You deserve peace — one thought at a time. 💚

The spiraling thought trap often begins with one negative thought that quickly leads to another — creating a cycle of worry, fear, or self-doubt. CBT helps break the cycle.

Anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. The earlier you begin, the faster you can interrupt unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier coping strategies.

Lately, some headlines have suggested that taking Tylenol during pregnancy “causes autism.” Understandably, misinformation has caused concern for many of us. At Turn the Mind, we celebrate and support our autistic clients. The stigma is the problem, not Tylenol.

People come to 𝐃𝐁𝐓 when life feels overwhelming. But what are they really looking for in a DBT program?

✨ Practical skills
✨ Structure and accountability
✨ A place for understanding
✨ Hope for change

Radical acceptance begins with acknowledging what’s already present. Tara Brach's RAIN meditation is a gentle way to meet yourself with compassion instead of judgment:
