You don't need everyone to like you. In fact, it's technically an impossible goal. Once you accept that, you can focus on what really matters: being true to yourself, aligning your actions with your needs, values, and beliefs, and embracing who you are, authentically. If you need a little extra support to make that happen, we are here for you.💫 #NashvillePsych #MentalHealthAwareness #Inspirational #MentalHealthIsHealth #Therapy #TherapyWorks #NashvilleTherapists

You may have heard the term "Borderline Personality Disorder" (BPD), but many people are confused about what it actually is. BPD, which affects an estimated 1.4% of the U.S. population, is often characterized by emotional regulation issues, mood swings, impulsive and risky behavior, rocky relationships, fear of abandonment, and distorted self-image.

Every step forward is a small victory, when dealing with mental health challenges. When times are tough, self compassion is really important.

"The Power of Awareness: Understanding Spiritual Bypass" Check out the newest blog post from our intern Matt Blumhard using the link below! "In our quest for personal growth and spiritual development, we may encounter various concepts or practices that promise profound transformation. These may include prayer, meditation, yoga, spiritual retreats, and the exploration of different religious or spiritual traditions. Each of these approaches offer unique paths toward self-discovery, inner peace, enlightenment, or connection with the transcendent, attracting individuals seeking deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives. However, as we engage with these transformative endeavors, it's essential to be aware of how our use of these spiritual ideas and practices could be hindering our growth, holding us back from true healing. Spiritual bypass refers to the tendency to use spiritual beliefs, practices, or experiences to avoid addressing underlying psychological or emotional experiences. It involves using spirituality as a means of escape from uncomfortable feelings or challenging life situations rather than confronting them directly. While spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, or mindfulness can be immensely beneficial, they can also be misused to sidestep deeper issues." https://www.nashvilletherapy.co/blog/2024/5/14/the-power-of-awareness-understanding-spiritual-bypass Contact us!

Our society has been known to value hustle culture, grind culture, and putting pressure on turning enjoyable hobbies into money-making side gigs. While it is true that inflation keeps rising in all aspects of life (food, housing, education, etc.) and many of us are constrained to a "live to work" lifestyle out of necessity, it is important to protect any available free time at all costs. Free time to rest, relax, binge watch a show, take a leisurely walk, put our phones down, and let go of our day-to-day responsibilities to listen to our body's need to regulate. Unsure how to do this? We have trained counselors who understand the socio-economic and socio-cultural factors that make this easier said than done. Reach out to us and we'll get you set up with the counselor that is right for you and will work with your daily conditions in a realistic, validating way, while also providing support on how to best care for yourself on your terms.

Day 3 of me teaching my equine therapeutic methods to others. This training was a huge success and a dream come true. I’m filled with gratitude for this experience. Be on the lookout for a Fall training opportunity!! #equinetherapy #perceptiveequinetherapy #nashvilletherapists #nashvillehealers

Anxiety on its own can be rough. The cognitive and physical symptoms can be enough to cause disruption in many domains of life (relationships, work, family, personal interests, etc.), which limits a person's ability to fully engage with their life in the way they desire. The last thing anyone struggling with anxiety wants is to exacerbate it. Taking a hard look at your lifestyle, routine, habits, and coping strategies can help assess if you are unknowingly adding more fuel to the anxiety fire. If you're feeling lost in your struggle with anxiety, consider how the above examples do (or do not) show up in your life. Contact us!

Day two of Perceptive Equine Therapy training. Today we combined somatic experiencing and equine and the results show up in the photos. The humans and the herd are evolving and you literally see the trust. Also we added Emmet the German Shepherd therapy dog. #equinetherapy #perceptiveequinetherapy #nashvilletherapists #nashvillehealers

When you grow tired of the equine therapist training that’s popular — start your own. Today I hosted 13 professionals and began to teach them my methods of Perceptive Equine Therapy. The art of reading herd and human to see clients as they truly are. Today we combined traditional therapeutic modality Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Equine and attendees learned how to focus mind and body to gain access to their innate gift of perception and intuition. It was a great, great day. #equinetherapy #perceptiveequinetherapy #nashvilletherapists #tenneseetherapists

“My approach is rooted in the belief that you already have every strength within you to accomplish your goals and discover the depths of who you are. I graduated from Baylor University with both my BSW and MSW, and am now an LMSW in both Tennessee and Texas.

I aim to empower and support you on your journey of self-discovery by creating a space where you feel heard, acknowledged and validated.

Sometimes anger is just anger. Sometimes we are responding to an injustice, a boundary cross, a slight, or any other sort of violation that requires us to protect ourselves with this powerful emotion. However, sometimes anger is actually masking a deeper feeling that we have a hard time acknowledging (usually, if not especially) on our own. If you recognize this is you or have a feeling the anger you're experiencing is likely stemming from one of the other emotions above, you're not alone! If you're in need of help processing some of these deeper feelings that are hard to feel on your own, we at NCTP have your back! Reach out and we will set you up with a counselor that will be right for you and what you need. Contact us!

After a heavy therapy session, it’s essential to prioritize self-care. Here’s how: Reflect: Take a moment to journal your thoughts and feelings. Writing can help you process what arose during your session and gain clarity. Connect with Nature: Step outside for a breath of fresh air. Whether it’s a stroll in the park or simply sitting under a tree, nature has a way of soothing the soul. Rest and Recharge: Give yourself permission to rest. Curl up with a good book, take a soothing bath, or simply relax and let your mind unwind. Practice Self-Compassion: Be gentle with yourself. Remember that healing is a journey, and it’s okay to have ups and downs along the way. Reach Out for Support: If you need it, don’t hesitate to reach out to loved ones or a trusted friend. Sometimes, sharing your experiences can provide comfort and validation. Remember, you’re on a path of growth and self-discovery. Take each step at your own pace, and know that you’re worthy of love and care. #nashville #nashvillecounselors #nashvillecounseling #nashvilletherapists #nashvilletherapist #nashvilletn #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #recovery

Have you ever wondered what bipolar disorder really is? Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood swings can affect a person's energy levels, sleep patterns, and ability to think clearly. It's important to remember that bipolar disorder is a medical condition that requires treatment and support. If you or someone you know is struggling with bipolar disorder, know that help is available. Let's work together to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health conditions like bipolar disorder.

"As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's important to remember the groundbreaking contributions of women throughout various fields, including psychology. While history books mainly highlight the research and theoretical interventions of men, women played a pivotal role in the field as well. Despite facing discrimination, being denied acceptance into programs, and rejected from employment opportunities because of their gender, women challenged societal norms and paved the way for the present-day trailblazers." https://www.nashvilletherapy.co/blog/2024/3/19/womens-history-month Contact us!

We all face challenges – moments that test our resilience and push us beyond our comfort zones. It's important to recognize that facing difficulties is not a unique experience; it's a shared aspect of the human journey. By acknowledging this commonality, we open the door to compassion, both for ourselves and others. Asking for help during tough times is not a sign of inadequacy; rather, it's a testament to our shared humanity. We are all navigating the complexities of life, and reaching out for support is a brave acknowledgment that we can overcome obstacles more effectively together. #itsokaynottobeokay #nashvillecounselors #nashvillecounseling #nashvilletherapists #nashvilletherapist #nashvilletn #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #recovery

If you are going to therapy to “feel good” then you’re going for the wrong reason. I love to encourage and inspire my clients and sometimes they leave “feeling good” but often they leave feeling challenged. Growth hurts. Health hurts! Just like working out with weight training can cause soreness and it’s sooooo hard when we do the work to make the gains. In therapy/coaching with me or any great therapist with their salt…. There will be discomfort. If there is no discomfort, you’re not growing. It takes so much courage to run into the discomfort of growth. #ShelliSays #thatswhatsheshed #nashvilletherapists #mentalhealthtennessee #mentalhealth #therapy #licensedtherapist #tennesseewellness #selfcare #mindfullness #tennesseetherapy #tennesseelifecoach #lifecoach #nashvilletherapy #traumatherapy #victorytherapy #shellisays #amienough #familyandmarriage #thirtythreetherapy #nashvillementalhealth #franklintherapy #emdr #franklincounseling #franklincoach #proverbs33 #selfcompassion #relationshiptrauma #codependencerecovery #nashvilletherapy #nashvillecounseling

Do you remember the first time you ever tried to tie your shoes or brush your teeth by yourself?? I'll reckon it was difficult and a little bit messy! Now, I'll bet you're a whiz with the bunny ears technique and don't think twice about shining up those pearly whites. The truth is, we are usually not proficient at something when we first start. It takes time to develop a skill, hobby, craft, or career. Don't let the fear of being bad at something stop you from doing something new.

"Beyond Resolutions: Embracing Values For A Fulfilling New Year When Goals Hold Us Back" Check out the newest blog post from our intern Matt Blumhard using the link below! "As we embark on this new year, take a moment to reflect on your values – those principles that define the essence of who you are. Instead of setting resolutions, imagine intentions that align with your values. Allow them to be the guiding force that shapes your choices, actions, and ultimately, your life.

These tools can help us navigate challenges, explore our personal and communal stories, and build emotional connections as we work together. I believe in creating a safe and collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I also specialize in religious deconstruction and spiritual concerns. I recognize the profound impact that matters of faith and spirituality can have on one's well-being. Whether you are grappling with questions of belief, experiencing a spiritual crisis, or seeking support in the process of religious deconstruction, I can provide a compassionate and understanding space for this unique aspect of your journey."

Words and their meanings are subjective to each person's experience and the context of that experience. When we think of the word "resilient", it can evoke images of a person persevering through difficult times and rebounding quickly despite the adversity they are facing. It can be presented in an almost heroic context of a person fighting against the odds, overcoming obstacles with strength and drive. It can be this, absolutely, but it can also be the courage to allow yourself to breakdown and grieve a recent loss. To surrender to the pain and to let yourself feel the heartache that refuses to go unnoticed. Resiliency doesn't have to be mighty, loud, or bold. It can be found in quiet moments when the world feels overwhelming, and you decide to let yourself cry on your bedroom floor. Contact us!

As we walk into this new year, take a moment to express gratitude toward yourself for all that you've done to make it here. Maybe you've overcome some difficulties this past year or perhaps some challenges are still coming with you into 2024 -- either way, you're here. And if you're here, there's hope. Hope to overcome, to accept, to change, to forgive, to let go, to feel, to love. I imagine there are ways you've grown this past year that you didn't imagine were possible -- how brilliant! How absolutely astounding that is. With that in mind, what do you hope for yourself in this upcoming year? I'm not talking resolutions, commitments, or goals... I'm talking about hopes, dreams, and well-wishes. What do you hope or wish for yourself this year? Let yourself dare a little bit. No one knows the future, but we can certainly dream of something that would make us feel more connected to ourselves, alive, loved, or seen. Give yourself that -- you deserve it. And happy new year from NCTP! Contact us!

Peace comes when we accept that some things are out of our control. Therapy can help us strengthen our ability to surrender. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, in particular, can be helpful in this area. If you have questions about how EMDR can help, check out our post (link in bio). Want more info?

When loneliness creeps in, make that call to someone who cares. Feeling frustrated? Embrace mindfulness—focus on the present moment. Anxiety knocking on the door? Take a deep breath, stretch it out. Small actions can bring big relief. Reach out, be present, connect. #WellnessTools #ConnectionMatters #MindfulnessInAction #copingskills #itsokaynottobeokay #nashvillecounselors #nashvillecounseling #nashvilletherapists #nashvilletherapist #nashvilletn #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #recovery

No matter how someone connects to a transcendent state— meditation, medicine, near death experience, etc., there is one message that everyone always “brings back” with them: WE ARE ONE. And though our earthly brains cannot comprehend the fullness of this truth in this lifetime, it remains a reality, not just a cliche phrase. And that is why we cannot focus solely on our own individual healing and wellness. Our health is bound together. Our hope is bound together. Our pain is bound together. Our liberation is bound together. We cannot be healers without looking outward. We cannot be fully healed without working for collective liberation and well-being for all. Our healing is bound together. May there be healing for us all. ✨ #ceasefirenow #healersforceasefire #therapistsforceasefire #therapistsforjustice #therapistsforpeace #therapistsforsocialjustice #nashvilletherapists #somatictherapy #endtheoccupation #releaseallhostages #weareone

These are a few of the challenging statements that guided therapy sessions for me this week. A theme that came up a lot was the idea that we often create a false narrative in our heads about what others think about us. We make a lot of assumptions about someone’s feelings or perceptions without asking for clarity or being open to their perspective (especially if we disagree with it). My challenge for you this week is to be more curious and less quick to judgment. #nashvilletherapists #nashvillementalhealth

Compassion fatigue can happen for anyone who finds themselves in a helping profession (therapist, doctor, nurse, teacher, daycare worker, etc.) or who routinely gives assistance to others, whether it be looking after a sick/dying family member or caring for a child with special needs. Compassion fatigue is a normal thing that can happen to anyone who is routinely present with the suffering of others. If you find yourself experiencing any of these symptoms, please know that it doesn't make you a bad person, incapable of doing your job, or mean you love someone in need of the care you give any less. Compassion fatigue is a sign you need to start focusing on taking care of YOU. You deserve to have your cup filled up the same way you fill up the cup of others. What are some ways you can reconnect with yourself and care for yourself to alleviate or prevent compassion fatigue? Contact us!
