How To Get Out Of Fight Or Flight When You Are Stuck

by

Most days, somewhere in the middle of everything, I hit a moment of panic. Not the debilitating kind. It’s more of a “what am I going to do” panic, and when it shows up, part of me wants to check out and go find something fun instead. There’s a real pull to drive home and get back in bed, or just go for a drive and get away from all of it.

Have you ever felt that? Or maybe it runs the other direction for you. Maybe you feel an intense urge to fix the thing right now, so strong it makes you dive in hard and get aggressive about it.

Your Experiences Shape You, But They Don’t Define You: How the stories we tell ourselves either set us free or hold us back

by

Life has a way of handing us moments we never asked for. Breakups in our teenage years, a loss on the football field we poured everything into, conflicts with people we love, or setbacks in work we’ve built with our own hands. I’ve lived all of those. And if you’re honest with yourself, you probably have too.

We all want to be known as capable, good at what we do, and worthy of respect and love. Sometimes we try to define ourselves by our strengths. Men, in particular, often anchor their identity to their careers. But perhaps even more common, and more damaging, is how many of us define ourselves by our failures and the painful things that have happened to us.

Finding Rest When You Feel Overwhelmed and Weary

by

Life has a way of becoming overwhelming without us even realizing how heavy things have gotten.

Responsibilities stack up. Expectations grow. Things take longer than they should. And before you know it, you’re mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually worn down. If that’s where you are right now, you are not alone. Even counselors feel this way. I feel this way. Working with clients, juggling family, and managing the stress of daily life. None of us are exempt from it.

How to Fight Fair: Conflict Resolution Skills Every Married Couple Needs

by

You know that silence after a fight — the one where you’re both in the same house but somehow miles apart? Maybe someone stomped off to another room, or the conversation just stopped. Nobody won. Nobody feels good. And the thing you were actually arguing about is still an elephant in the room, unresolved. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The truth is, EVERY couple fights. No one wants to fight, but it happens. Here’s the more important question: Are those fights bringing you closer or slowly pulling you apart?

Where Was God in My Trauma? Finding Faith When the Pain Doesn’t Make Sense

by

Trauma doesn’t just wound the body or mind. It can rattle the very foundations of what we believe. Many survivors quietly carry spiritual confusion right alongside their emotional pain. Some walk away from faith entirely. If that’s where you are, I’m not here to lecture you. I’m here to sit with you in it. And when you are ready, I will help you try to make sense of the pain and confusion so that you can get back to enjoying your life and living it well. 

Why Do I Feel Stuck Even Though I’m Trying?

by

(Understanding emotional plateaus, patterns, and when support helps) Sometimes I wake up and feel like I’m not making progress—no matter how much effort I’m putting in. I’m trying. I care. I’ve set goals. But it still feels like I can’t get traction. I call that feeling stuck. Maybe your mind feels foggy. Maybe you’re overloaded. … Read more

Processing the Past Year: Why Reflection Is Healthier Than Resolution-Making

by

From a therapeutic perspective, reflection is often far healthier and more effective than jumping straight into resolutions. Reflection allows space to acknowledge what has happened, how it has impacted us, and what we truly need moving forward. Before deciding where you want to go, it’s important to understand where you’ve been.
