You’re showing up. You’re getting things done. From the outside, it looks like you’re fine.

So why does everything feel so hard?

Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like functioning… but feeling exhausted, disconnected, and stuck underneath it all.

A lot of the people I work with don’t realize they’re burned out— they just think they’re failing at life.

If you’ve been feeling:
* tired no matter how much you rest
* overwhelmed by simple things
* disconnected from your work or yourself 
There’s a reason for that.

I wrote a blog post breaking down the real signs of burnout—and why “doing everything right” isn’t protecting you from it.

What’s one sign you’ve noticed in yourself lately?

Many therapists list that they specialize in life transitions, but what exactly are they?

Life transitions are the major life changes or big shifts that change the rhythm of your everyday life. They can be exciting, scary, overwhelming, or all of the above.

Even positive changes like getting married or starting a new job can come with mixed emotions.

Transitions often bring up questions about identity, routine, relationships, and what’s next. They can stir up old patterns, bring on new stress, and challenge the coping skills you normally rely on.

Therapy can help you process the change, stay grounded, and move through it with more clarity and support.

Whether you’re stepping into something new or letting something go, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Routines ask, “What needs to get done?” Rituals ask, “How do I want to be here?”

Routines move us toward outcomes. Rituals bring us into presence.

One is about productivity. The other is about meaning.

Sometimes the work doesn’t need to change— just the way we arrive to it.

#mentalhealthmatters #therapytalk #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthprofessional

Traversing a life transition can feel disorienting, even when the change is something you chose or genuinely want. New roles, shifting routines, and evolving values can stir up uncertainty, emotional intensity, or a sense of not quite feeling like yourself.

Therapy can offer space to slow down, make sense of who you’re becoming, regulate overwhelming emotions, and build coping strategies that fit the version of you that’s emerging, not the one you’ve outgrown.

If you’re moving through a period of change and want to feel more grounded and supported, you can book an appointment via the link in our bio.

Screens off, life on. Weekend plans that don’t need Wi-Fi. 📖☕✨

#mentalhealthmatters #therapytalk #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthprofessional

Self-care isn’t always spa days or complicated routines and commitments. Sometimes it’s choosing ease over rush, or presence over pressure.

It’s giving yourself time and space, slowing your mind, listening to your body, and honoring your energy without guilt. It’s doing less on purpose. It’s protecting your peace quietly.

If you need permission to pause, this is it.

#mentalhealthmatters #therapytalk #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthprofessional

Let the energy this week be more peace and less pressure, especially for the ones who feel like they carry it all and hold everything together for others.

This week doesn’t need you to over perform. Choose calm, choose control, and choose you. It’s okay to move slower and with more intention.

What else can you find more of this week?

#mentalhealthmatters #therapytalk #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthprofessional

Most of us were taught to use the weekend to recover. But no one taught us how to restore.

Imagine how you’d feel if your weekends included:  🔅Slow, unstructured mornings
🔅Getting outside for natural light + movement
🔅Doing one thing just for yourself - with no outcome attached
🔅Creating a hard stop on “catch-up” work
🔅Prioritizing connection over just staying busy
🔅Ending Sunday with a nervous system reset - not a strategy session

The most powerful thing you can do for your performance is give your body and mind time to feel safe again.

📌 Save this post if your weekends have been feeling more like recovery missions than restoration.

In tragedy, people don’t want denial—they want truth plus hope. Still I Rise flips that script. The repeated “I rise” is a declaration of selfhood and choice. It reminds readers: you may not control what happened, but you still have a say in what comes next. The poem doesn’t say “I survive quietly.” It says I rise—with confidence, with pride, with joy even. In tragic moments, that’s radical. It gives permission not just to keep going, but to do so without shrinking.  After large-scale tragedy, people often feel the same emotions but don’t know how to say them together. Saying or hearing “Still I rise” lets people grieve in unison, without each person having to explain their pain. In moments of mass loss or injustice, people fear being forgotten—names, stories, lives reduced to statistics. The poem insists on visibility and dignity. Rising becomes an act of remembrance: we will not disappear; this mattered.  If you are struggling to cope with the, please reach out to a friend, loved one or mental health provider for support. We will rise out of this darkness together.

Creating a morning routine can be challenging when energy levels are low, but it doesn’t have to be a complex list of activities. By incorporating micro habits focused on your priorities, you can gently boost productivity even on low-energy days. Here’s a quick guide to crafting your morning routine:  ✅ Select a primary focus
✅ Pick one idea from each category to shape your routine or pick a category focus for the day.
✅ Optional: Rotate focus areas weekly or monthly to keep things fresh.

What will your focus be for your low-energy morning routine?

How will you prioritize your mental health this year?  It might look like… - Improving your self-talk - Committing to going to therapy - Journaling about your feelings - Honoring your emotional needs - Developing healthier daily habits - Resting without guilt - Having hard, but necessary conversations - Setting boundaries in your relationships - Showing yourself more compassion  Follow @amyholder_lpc for more mental health content.

When a person is operating within their window of tolerance, they can effectively manage and cope with their emotions and life’s events.
•
Things that decrease your window of tolerance include: stress, anxiety, trauma, physical pain, exhaustion
•
Things that increase your window of tolerance include: grounding, mindfulness, deep breathing, physical movement
•
To expand your window of tolerance and increase your capacity to cope, you first must recognize when you are experiencing emotions outside your tolerable zone. You can create a healthier and more adaptive nervous system by routinely practicing coping strategie.

Self-love and compassion generate ripples that reverberate far beyond us — a ripple effect reminiscent of a stone delicately disturbing the calm surface of a pond, sending waves outward from its center. In our modern, bustling world, distractions and constant noise, often cause us to lose our focus and alignment. Kindness is a skill that we can learn over time and it begins with how we learn to love ourselves.

A new book review 📚 When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress by Gabor Maté
•
Many of us know or have heard about the toll stress has on the body. Gabor takes this even further in his analysis and offers a blend of peer-reviewed research with anecdotal case studies. It was refreshing to read about the importance of a whole-body approach to medicine that focuses on the mind-body connection. This book has a wealth of information and offers a new and exciting perspective on what we could be doing in healthcare. As a therapist, some of my biggest takeaways are: boundaries are essential to our health, we must learn to feel your feelings, and when we heal from trauma, we create possibilities to heal our bodies as well. This book is very accessible and invites us all to be our own health advocates.

Your mind and your body need rest. “Growth is not just constant forward motion. Growth is rest. Growth is stillness.” - Brianna Wiest
•
I have struggled to grant myself rest in the past and paying attention to what my mind and body needs is a skill I have to practice regularly. Rest is a habit as essential as brushing your teeth and it must be learned and practiced if it doesn’t come naturally.

In what ways do your body and mind tell you it needs rest?

New blog post 🎉
New year, new me? Nope! Let’s try something a little gentler this year. Rather than setting unrealistic goals you’ll inevitably fall short of by March, let’s try a different approach to creating meaningful change. An intention is a positive call to action about something you want to do, rather than something you don’t want to do but feel that you “should.”

What are your intentions for the new year?

What do we mean when we say “sit with your feelings?”

1. NOTICE IT: Notice how you feel.
2. NAME IT: Label the emotion.
3. ACCEPT IT: Don’t judge the emotion.
4. INVESTIGATE IT: How intense is it? Where do you feel it in your body?
5. ALLOW AND RELEASE IT: Allow the feeling to naturally rise then fall. Breathe through it.

Emotions need space to breathe. Holding space for difficult emotions and working through them takes gentleness and curiosity.

In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to forget that rest isn't a luxury, but a necessity. Your mind and body need those moments of stillness and sleep to thrive. 💤💆‍♀️
•
💡 Mind: During rest, your brain processes information, forms memories, and regenerates. It's like a nightly software update! 🧠
•
🏋️‍♂️ Body: Rest is when your muscles repair, your immune system strengthens, and your energy stores replenish. It's the ultimate workout for your body. 💪
•
Remember, prioritizing rest isn't laziness; it's an act of self-care and self-love. So, take that break, get those Zzz's, and watch your mind and body thank you for it!

We sometimes forget that anxiety is a normal human emotion and is often appropriate to many stressful situations. So when does anxiety become “disordered?” In this post, I’ll be referring to generalized anxiety disorder specifically. There are many other disorders that fall under the umbrella of “anxiety.”
•
In small, proportional doses, anxiety can be a helpful resource. It can help us avoid danger or motivate us to act in critical situations.  •
But generalized anxiety disorder is different. It significantly impacts your daily life and can feel excessive and unrelated to anything specific or other evidence to support the feeling.  •
Many of us are experiencing increased feelings of anxiety due to many global stressors (income disparity, climate change, politics, etc). And while anxiety may be an appropriate reaction to these stressors, it’s important to seek support when needed. If you’re noticing that you experience anxiety that is out of proportion to life stressors, it’s important to talk to a mental health professional.

One of the most important relationships in your life is the one you have with yourself. Thanks to daily distractions, work, friends and family it is getting harder and harder to spend quality time by ourselves. So if you are long overdue a catch-up with your mind, body and spirit, I recommend you schedule in a solo date.
•
It doesn’t have to be a whole spa day or some other grand gesture to yourself. It can be small and practical, like finally cleaning out that junk drawer. Whatever you choose to do to take care of yourself, be sure to make it a priority.

One of the first things I teach my clients is to measure, track and communicate their anxiety. Using a scale is a useful tool when learning what coping strategies work for you. You can scale your anxiety before using a particular tool/intervention and then after to see if it helps to reduce anxiety. Knowing how severe your anxiety is in the moment may also help you determine what tool or tools you need based on how you’re functioning.

A new book review 📚 The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté, MD with Daniel Maté
•
This feels like a book the world needs right now. It’s insightful and offers compelling research on the mind-body connection. He also calls out our medical, social, and political systems for their naive disregard for the effects of trauma. This book blended dense but digestible research with personal stories to illustrate the problems and solutions. This book was part scientific and part philosophical which I thoroughly enjoyed. And while some of the topics have been covered in other literature, the author repackages them with new research and/or ideas to expand on these topics. The book is phenomenal and highly recommended if you're curious and/or serious about healing.

Mental health and physical health may seem like two different areas, but ongoing research continues to narrow the gap between the two. The mind-body connection is real. You are not a floating head without a body, or a body without a head. You are more than your symptoms or diagnosis and you deserve to achieve meaningful healing in all the ways that are most important to you.
•
Integrative mental health brings together the advances of contemporary psychological science, with the wisdom of healing traditions from around the world. The integrative approach is pragmatic, using any and all techniques that can help to improve wellbeing, while also being disciplined, adhering to guiding principles.
•
I have started to incorporate an integrative approach in to my therapy practice with clients. I’m more interested in treating the whole person and would rather focus on promoting health rather than focusing on disease.

I’ve been journaling in one form or another for as long as I can remember. I have journals that date back to 1998. I have different kinds of journals and different approaches to journaling depending on what I need. I have both physical, handwritten journals, as well as a journal I keep on my laptop. Sometimes I just open a blank word document, brain dump and then close it without saving. Writing has always been a way I organize my very busy mind and process things.
•
These are just a few ways I use journaling. If you’ve ever thought journaling might help, but never knew how to start, know that there is no “right way” to journal. You can come at it any way you want and in any form you want. Write anything and see what happens.

Do you ever experience that “meh” or just “off” and you can’t quite put your finger on what’s causing it? Sometimes you don’t feel like yourself and there’s no obvious reason it. This can be so frustrating and confusing.
•
In these moments it’s important to get curious and dig a little deeper. These questions may help you solve the mystery of the “meh” feeling. Allow yourself to sit with this feeling and check in with yourself.

A new book review 📚 Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky
•
I am fascinated by the biopsychosocial aspects of stress and interested in finding ways to present this information in my practice with clients. Personally, I feel like Sapolsky is a very effective science communicator. He makes the science and research digestible in a way that is accessible for readers without really losing much of the nuance. With that said, this was a science-heavy book and for those without a background in biology, chemistry or physiology, you may feel lost at times.

This book primarily focuses on the what and why of stress and less on the how to manage it. The recommendations are accurate and backed by research, but if you’re looking for a detailed breakdown in how to practice mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, etc., you’re going to feel let down by the end of this book. Overall, this was an excellent read and I can’t believe it took me so long to get to it. This book is a great primer if you’re interested in exploring complementary medicine.

What lights you up inside? What tiny moments ground you? What small things nourish your soul? And how do you nurture these things in your life?

Healing your soul or your energy doesn’t have to be done with grand gestures or be overly complicated.
