My work, whether here creatively, or everyday as a mental health therapist has always been rooted in creativity, care and making space for people to feel human. This includes anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, tender, stretched thin or in need of a soft place to land.

If you are here, you’re welcome. If you are human, you belong!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

I’ve been eyeing this project since I saw it on @grannycamptx and it absolutely did not disappoint!
.
.
It’s a lot of fun, especially if you like to junk journal,
You end up with a fun personalized book to start with, and it’s a lot easier than I envisioned!
.
.
I’m excited to roll this one out as a workshop! But in the meantime I am hosting a junk journaling class this Friday from 6-8 @theomcenter so if your interested comment CRAFT for sign up details!

The millennial battle cry of wanting more than what we were fed to believe is one of my favorite things! Because of course I deeply relate to it but also because the therapist in me is always on board for people fighting back for what they really want and need!
.
.
.
That’s exactly why I do in this space! If you are new here, I am Sam, a mental health therapist and craft loving millennial mom! And I am out to help women find a place where they can put down the mental load and isolation and reconnect, with themselves and eachother through creativity and crafting!
.
.
It’s a source of regulation and it’s also a way of returning to what makes us happy and joyful, by being in a group of women and making something just for the sake of it! It’s not for the outcome, not about the end product but about the process and the connection along the way!
.
.
So if you’ve found me I hope you stick around for more content like this! Local workshops and ways to use creativity for your own mental wellness!

We are led to believe that self care is a day at the spa or a pre planned outing with your friends, but it sets us up for failure and disappointment when we inevitably can’t make that happen often with all our
.
.
And it leaves women in particular just perpetually exhausted with no relief. But let’s crush this belief because the truth is, it’s more about creating moments for micro moments of self care and stress relief that help you feel less stressed over time! And let’s be real, it’s way more doable in the day to day chaos!

Sometimes you’re just stuck! Typically I’d let the anxiety take over but today I decided to just post and let it be! We have too much going on to put more pressure on ourselves!

Reasons to craft!
.
.

It’s just such an underrated way to destress and connect, although it’s making its way back with the need for more screen free engagement!
.
.
These were some highlights from my recent junk journaling workshop @teddysbestreads
.

More coming up for adults AND kids in the next few months @theomcenter so check out their website if you’re interested in joining!

It’s wild to think about how there used to be a time when you couldn’t just look back on your daily moments so easily!
.
.
Now you can just scroll through and go straight back into a moment and feeling! No wonder we don’t want to delete them!!

I’ve never done this before actually, but knew I wanted to try it when I saw it! I like the added piece of having the words disappear under the drawing because you take something potentially difficult and make it into something beautiful!
.
.
But it also does trick your brain into just letting the completely unfiltered version out!

My daughter loves to craft with me! She is at a great age to do something independently, while I work on something and it fills her quality time cup!
.

It’s one of favorite things!

I lost someone today.
.
.
You can’t work in mental health and not have this experience at least once! And it never gets easier. This one is hard. She was 13, a baby. And I worked with her, hard. To try and get her what I knew she really needed and I couldn’t. Nor could the other people who tried equally hard alongside me.
.
.
The system failed her and sadly now she is gone before she could see that it can get better
.
.
We have to find a better way and we can’t keep living in a world where we are so disconnected when we need support the most.

We tend to forget about our bodies when we are in a state of overwhelm and emotional intensity, at least I know I do!
.
.
But that surge of adrenaline is biological. It’s our bodies way of saying, something is wrong, we have to prepare for battle. The problem is, generally we no longer live in a world where we need that response to save our lives.
.
.
We do need to address it though because it’s what feeds our emotions, anxious thoughts and sometimes impulsive behaviors. So instead of jumping to the emotional explosion or intense problem solving mode, do something to let your body know it’s safe…and see if that helps calm the thoughts and emotions from there!

The older I get the more I looove anything that feels quiet, calming and peaceful!
.
.
I am introverted and drawn to more quiet, introspective things anyway but it’s definitely increased with age, maybe it’s just the natural return to yourself that happens in your late 30’s and 40’s
.
.
Regardless, these are the things I’ve been thankful for lately

Creativity can sometimes feel like the opposite of what we need for the seriousness of life. But in reality, art and creativity has provided the world with some of the most powerful messages we can have!

We don’t give enough credit to the simple things that can help us regulate ourselves! Sometimes it’s just creating something with your hands and the repetitive motion of gluing sequins to fabric!

If you agree, follow me for more and tell me what simple thing helps you regulate

Crafting, walking through grass, mingling with animals….such simple things that adulthood can lead us to turn away from!
.
.
Then you have kids, and sometimes it brings you back to those things through your kids and if you’re super lucky you find the things you most loved and do it for yourself!
.
.
I’ve always been a self growth kind of gal…you kind of need to be as a therapist, but the 40’s feels to me like the culmination of what you search for most of your 20’s and 30’s and finally start to feel in your 40’s
.
.
Authentic, true, idgaf energy and a return to the little you who was the REAL YOU all along, but life and expectations lead us to quiet her.
.
.
If you’ve found me, i hope you’re just as pumped about leaning into this stage as I am and I hope you will follow for me and join me along the way!

Crafting sometimes gets a bad rap. It’s certainly a fun, nostalgic, sometimes non serious hobby but I really believe there is more to it than that and I don’t think I’m alone!
.
.
There seems to be such a resurgence in crafting these days. #crocheting #junkjournaling #bedazzling #ebroidery the list goes on…and I know it’s not just because it’s fun and cute!
.
.
We are craving something nostalgic, something slow, a way to escape the constant noise of the internet!
.
.
And it truly does provide a benefit because it’s inherently mindful and grounding. So if you’re looking for a way to reset, or you want to add something to your routine and your local, come to one of my workshops!

Anyone else feel this way?
.
.
Especially as a millennial! I mean i know every generation has nostalgia but, we were the last generation before technology changed the entire way we relate and connect!
.
.
It’s wild to think about actually. It’s a little different for all of us but for me, the best part of girlhood in the 90’s was friendship bracelets, scrapbooking and journaling! Crafting made me feel so creative, authentic and connected!
.
.
That is what I look for these days as an adult and what I hope for with this community! Sure it’s wellness workshops through crafting in CT, but it’s also really about going back in time when crafting and creativity brought us together and bonded us!
