Throwback to Mark and Rachael's very first shared office, a private practice therapy space on Pearl Street in Boulder. Thirteen years later, the office is bigger, the team has grown, but the mission has remained the same: to guide those struggling towards their own healing inner light.  What a journey it's been! Thanks to everyone who's been a part of it ❤️.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that can be extremely helpful in healing from addiction, trauma, and other life stresses. https://lnkd.in/gfPDCPbq

Happy #MindfulMonday! Life can throw us curveballs, but with the power of Distress Tolerance, we can navigate through storms and emerge stronger than ever! 🌦️ 🔥 Embrace the HEAT 🔥 H: Hold on. When things get tough, take a deep breath and hold on to your inner strength. You've got this! 💪 E: Evaluate the situation. Is it within your control? If not, accept it. If yes, make a plan and tackle it step by step. 🤔 A: Accept reality as it is, not as you wish it to be. Radical acceptance can set you free from unnecessary suffering. 🙏 T: Take a step back. Sometimes, a little distance can provide a clearer perspective. 🚶 💧 Cool Off with Self-Soothing 💧 Self-care is your lifeline! What's your favorite way to soothe your soul when the going gets tough? 🛁🎶 🌿 Ground yourself in the present moment. Practice mindfulness to stay centered. 🧘 🍃 Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it's reading, painting, or dancing. 💃📚 🍵 Sip some herbal tea, take a warm bath, or simply snuggle up with a cozy blanket. 🍵🛌 Remember, distress is a part of life, but it doesn't define you. 🌈 You are resilient, and with DBT's Distress Tolerance skills, you can rise above any challenge that comes your way. 🚀 #DistressTolerance #DBTJourney #EmbraceTheHEAT #SelfSoothe #Resilience #Mindfulness #RadicalAcceptance #YouAreStrong #KeepGoing

We had such a wonderful time supporting our dear friends at Colorado Artists in Recovery (CAIR) at their Drag Show fundraiser last weekend!
