What if you gave yourself just five minutes in the morning to pause, breathe, and reset before the chaos takes over?�.�.�.�#embodiedwellnesscenter #chicagotherapist #chicago #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #chicagogram #therapist #anxiety #therapistsofinstagram #chicagowellness #holistictherapist #mentalhealththerapist #therapistsofig #nervoussystemregulation #morningroutine #mentalwellness #stressawareness #somatictherapy #mindbodyconnection #anxietyrelief #selfregulation #traumainformed #mindfulstart #holisticmentalhealth #emotionalwellness #therapytools #selfcareeveryday #groundingpractices

Even as a therapist, I will forever keep it real and I will NOT let you make bad decisions!

Coping skills aren’t one-size-fits-all. If you’ve ever tried to journal while your heart was pounding or meditate while your thoughts were spiraling, it’s not that the skill “didn’t work.” It may just not have matched the intensity your nervous system was in. .

If you’ve ever struggled to journal while your heart was racing, or meditate while your thoughts felt out of control, you’re not alone. Many people walk away from these experiences believing coping skills “don’t work” or that they’re doing something wrong. More often than not, the issue isn’t the coping skill itself. It’s when and how it’s being used. . Our newest blog posts highlights which coping skills to use based on how you're feeling.
