Here’s a gentle reminder that the way you speak to yourself matters, too. ❤️

Affection doesn’t just belong in grand gestures or in certain types of relationships. It can also look like patience with yourself. Compassion on a hard day. Softness where you’re used to being critical.

The way you treat yourself shapes every relationship in your life. If you’re learning how to treat yourself more gently, we’re cheering you on. Healing starts here. 🫶

Let today include you!

It’s often easier to offer patience, understanding, and care to others than to ourselves. Self-compassion invites us to turn that same kindness inward — especially in moments of struggle. ❤️

What would change if you spoke to yourself the way you would to someone you love? Share with us in the comments below!

In Internal Family Systems, we understand symptoms as protectors.
When we ask what a part is protecting us from, we move from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened — and what do I need now?”

When you notice a strong reaction today, try finishing this sentence with curiosity instead of self-judgment. You don’t have to fix the part — just listening is often enough to begin softening. ✨

Save this for your next check-in, or share it with someone who could use a little more self-compassion today.

That unfinished sentence is an invitation 💛

Many of our parts learned early on that it wasn’t safe to speak freely — so they show up as tension, urgency, overwhelm, or self-criticism instead. When we slow down and imagine giving one part the space to finish the sentence, we’re practicing something powerful: curiosity without judgment.

When you pause long enough to listen without trying to fix or silence what comes up, you’re building trust with your inner system. That trust is often where healing begins.

You don’t need to respond perfectly. You just need to notice.

When a part of you feels loud or urgent, it’s not trying to cause trouble—it’s trying to communicate.
Slowing down to listen with curiosity (instead of judgment) can help that part feel safer and soften.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Our therapists can help you learn how to listen to your inner world with compassion. 🤍

If everything around you feels like too much, it makes sense that your thoughts, emotions, or urges feel more intense too.

This is how the nervous system responds to overload. It shifts into protection, not because you are failing, but because it is trying to keep you safe. 🤍

Our therapists at Course Counseling can help you understand these responses and gently regulate them. Visit the link in our bio to schedule a consultation. 💙

In a culture that praises constant growth, choosing rest can feel uncomfortable—or even wrong. But healing doesn’t happen through force.
Slowing down allows your nervous system to feel safe enough to process and integrate what you’ve been carrying.

A part of you is always trying to help—even when it shows up as stress, overthinking, or withdrawal.

These signals are not flaws. They are messages: something inside you needs care, safety, and understanding.

IFS helps you notice, meet, and soothe these parts. At Course Counseling, we provide a gentle space to do just that. 💛

When old reactions show up, it’s easy to assume you’ve taken a step backward. But in IFS, we understand this differently. Your parts are learning that they don’t have to work as hard as they once did.

Learning takes repetition. It takes patience. And it unfolds best in an environment of safety and compassion—not pressure.

At Course Counseling, we offer a gentle, supportive space where your system can learn, soften, and heal at its own pace.

This idea can feel confusing at first, especially if you’ve struggled with feeling “too much” or “not enough.” You might wonder: Does this mean I have to accept every part of myself, even the ones that act out or make mistakes?

Here’s the distinction: every part of you—your anger, your anxiety, your self-criticism—has a positive intention. These parts developed to protect you, keep you safe, or help you survive difficult moments. They are welcome, because they are a part of your inner system, a part of you.

But “welcome” doesn’t mean unchecked. Not all behaviors that emerge from these parts are helpful or healthy. You can recognize the intention behind a part, honor its existence, and still set limits on how it expresses itself. For example, a part might protect you by lashing out—but you can listen to why it’s scared and respond differently, with curiosity, compassion, and guidance.

A compassionate therapist at Course Counseling can help you navigate this inner landscape—helping your parts feel seen and understood while supporting you in creating healthier, safer, and more grounded ways to respond.

You can welcome all of yourself without letting old patterns control your life. Reach out today to start this gentle, empowering work.

Winter can feel heavy. Shorter days, longer nights, and colder mornings can take a toll on your energy, mood, and sense of connection. It’s normal to feel sadness, low energy, or even disconnection during this season.
If this feels familiar, know that you are not alone. Studies show that up to 20% of people experience seasonal mood changes in the winter months. Feeling this way does not mean something is “wrong” with you — it means your body and mind are responding to changes in light, routine, and environment.
At Course Counseling, our compassionate therapists are here to walk alongside you. We can help you navigate these feelings, create space for self-care, and find grounding, connection, and hope — even in the darkest days.
You deserve warmth, care, and support. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness — it’s a brave step toward steadiness, clarity, and healing. 💛

So many people try to heal by pushing through, staying strong, and ignoring the part of them that’s hurting.
But IFS invites a different approach:
✨ Slowing down

✨ Understanding the protective roles your parts have taken on
✨ Offering yourself compassion instead of pressure
When your parts feel seen instead of silenced, they soften.
And when they soften, healing becomes possible.

✨ The holiday season is about connection, not perfection. ✨

This year, Jen and Karen gave us a gift that perfectly reflects one of our core values at Course Counseling: Connection.❤️

We had the joy of spending a special evening together at the Hale Centre Theatre in Sandy (@halecentretheatre), seeing the show Frozen. Each of us received two tickets to bring a loved one, plus a gift card to enjoy a meal at Gourmandise Cafe and Bakery (@gourmandisethebakery). It was such a meaningful way to celebrate the season and the people who make our team feel like a family.

It wasn’t about perfection or fancy gestures—it was about slowing down, sharing laughter, and getting to know each other and our loved ones a little better. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do: creating meaningful relationships, supporting growth, and providing a safe and compassionate environment, both with our clients and with each other.

Thank you, Jen and Karen, for gifting us another reminder that the best moments are the ones we share together.

Gentleness.
Space.
The Self within you is steady, capable, caring, and present.

You are not your patterns.
You are a whole human, made up of parts—each one trying to protect you in the way it knows how.
A gentle, supportive therapist at Course Counseling can help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the calm, steady Self that has always been there.
If you’re ready to feel more clarity, compassion, and connection within yourself, we would be honored to walk alongside you.
Your healing is possible.
Your parts deserve gentleness.
And so do you. 💛

Exciting news at Course Counseling! ✨

We’re thrilled to announce that Jen and Karen are officially trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS)— a trauma-informed therapy model that helps people heal from past wounds and navigate life’s toughest experiences.

They completed the final part of their training in Ericeira, Portugal, spending six days immersed in learning and connecting with an international cohort to deepen their understanding of the inner system. A huge thank you to @mariel_pastor for guiding this inspiring experience!

Jen and Karen are bringing their IFS expertise back to Course Counseling— helping clients heal from trauma and unburden the parts of themselves that need care and attention. If you’re interested in exploring IFS therapy, reach out— we’d love to support you.

Awareness is where growth begins. 🌱

In therapy, we slow down enough to notice our thoughts, emotions, and patterns—without judgment. That awareness creates the space to choose something different.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Noticing is enough to start.
