At Repose, we believe in the efficacy of holistic wellness. What does that mean? It means that we take into account everything that makes you, you! That includes your mind, body, and spirit. We need to address the environment we come from and the emotions themselves. You are integrated into the world around you, meaning we cannot isolate these parts of you to work on creating a better you. Therefore, we want to help you understand these components and find a way to find calm in an already chaotic world. That means in therapy, it is important to not only understand what is happening but why it is happening. Psychoeducation is a huge part of understanding yourself better. Together we will learn about you to help you develop healthy coping skills and prevention for the future.

Often times as human beings we find ourselves feeling stuck, repeating the same cycles, patterns, and habits. These same thoughts and emotions can affect our mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma can take a toll on our bodies and have a lasting impact. Impacts that can take away from our true inner strength and beauty. But what if I told you there was a way to navigate these stressors and overcome these emotional challenges in the comfort of your own space?

Whether it’s your first day of college or the beginning of your senior year, the start of a new academic year can come with a lot of overwhelming thoughts. It is important to acknowledge those thoughts but keep an open mind, and thus, there can be a world of new experiences on the horizon.

Many relationships in life can cause a great amount of uncertainty. Do they like me as much as I like them? Am I being overbearing? Did I say the wrong thing? It is important to work through these feelings in order to thrive in the various relationships we have in our lives.

If you’ve been struggling with symptoms of anxiety or depression (or both), you’re not alone–these are two of the most common reasons people seek therapy. Anxiety and depression can greatly diminish our quality of life, making it feel overwhelming just to get through the day; however, sometimes these symptoms are manifestations of a deeper issue and not the issue itself. Individuals who have endured trauma have a greater likelihood of experiencing anxiety and depression, often without realizing the deep connection between their current symptoms and past experiences.

Have you ever felt like people don’t know how to be there for you in the way that you need during a tough time? They might try to console you or to offer advice, but it somehow ends up making you feel alone. It’s hard to feel like your emotions aren’t being heard or understood by those you seek support from.

Liminal space is the time between what was and what is next. It is a place of transition, of waiting, and of not knowing. Liminal space is where transformation takes place.
