DG Counseling, LLC

Happy Friday. Just a reminder the therapist at DG Counseling, LLC offer telehealth services so you don’t have to sacrifice your mental health for your safety. Don’t hesitate to contact Dawn or Jovanna to schedule a session soon.

When you end your child’s screen time, don’t just let them chill out. Because they WON’T be chilling out. They will be jumping out of their skin. And I strongly... suggest that you don't let them go on more screens after being on school screens, you are only giving them more stimulation. To reset the pace of their body and brain, use the vestibular system, the system that controls balance and the perception of where your body is in space. Get your child moving. Jump, swing, run around. They will probably be desperate for some movement during this isolation period anyway. If you have one, jump on a trampoline, swing, run, kick a ball, whatever you have access to. This will reset their system and calm the entire body.

Hey there! You may have thought "wow, with all this free time I'll become the person I always wanted to be" and now reality is that you're in survival mode. Thi...s is normal. We're all operating in crisis response and experiencing a sense of shared trauma while we learn to navigate our current "normal". In these spaces we have to drop back down to our most BASIC self-care. Make it a priority to focus on your physiological and safety needs right now. Sleep more, eat some comfort food, remind yourself you're safe, and breathe. NO ONE is going to achieve self-actualization during a pandemic. Refocus and reset your expectations. Take care of you! We like you too much to lose you!

What an incredibly difficult time we are living in. Please know we are here for you and you don't have to struggle alone. We are offering online services to support and care for you through these challenges. Contact Dawn or Jovanna for online sessions. You can schedule sessions via their availability calendar or contact information via the website: dgcounselingllc.com

Take a deep breath, find your calm then respond and support

Getting early interventions and support can help rewire a traumatic experience and provide appropriate coping for both children and adults.
