If you told yourself you were doing Dry January and now you’re not… pause right here.

This isn’t a call-out.

It’s not a failure check.

It’s just an invitation to get curious.

Because you’re not alone.

About two weeks into the new year is when a lot of goals start to wobble. The motivation fades, real life creeps back in, and the promise you made to yourself begins to feel heavier than you expected.

So the question isn’t “Why couldn’t I stick to it?”

The more helpful question is… why was it harder than I thought it would be?

Many adults were never taught how to understand their emotions—let alone cope with them. Not because their parents didn’t care, but because their parents didn’t know how to model that level of emotional support either. Avoidance becomes a learned, generational pattern without anyone meaning for it to happen.

So as you grew older, when sadness, stress, anxiety, shame, or loneliness surfaced, your body naturally reached for something that brought fast relief. People often use substances to fill that role—not because you’re weak, but because that’s the only strategy that seemed to do the job.

A Christian Perspective for the Skeptical Heart

Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and walked away disappointed. Maybe the counselor didn’t “get” your faith, or the process felt awkward and unhelpful. Or perhaps you’ve never stepped foot in a therapist’s office because you wonder: “If I already pray and read my Bible, do I really need therapy?”

If this sounds like you, we want to speak directly to your heart: it’s okay to be skeptical. Your hesitation doesn’t make you less faithful—it makes you human.

Have you ever wondered if going to therapy as a Christian means your faith isn’t strong enough? Maybe you’ve heard someone say, “You don’t need counseling—you just need Jesus.” Yet, despite praying, reading Scripture, and attending church faithfully, you still find yourself battling cycles of stress, anxiety, or behaviors you wish you could change.

As a Christian Therapy Group, We want to reassure you: seeking therapy is not a lack of faith—it’s an act of wisdom and courage.

What if your healing didn’t have to rely on endless talking or rehashing the past? What if there was a way to tap into the places where those emotional blocks live—and finally let them go? Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-body-based therapeutic approach that helps you access, process, and release emotional and physical pain. It’s subtle, gentle, transformative, and above all—works.

If you're someone who struggles with setting boundaries, you're not alone. Whether it’s saying no to a friend, limiting work demands, or stepping back from an emotional relationship, setting healthy boundaries is essential for maintaining balance and achieving personal growth. The good news? With a little guidance and practice, you can learn how to establish boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish.

Anxiety can be heavy, not just for the person living with it, but also for those who love them. If someone close to you is struggling with anxiety, you may feel helpless or unsure about how to offer the best support. Here are some practical ways you can support a loved one experiencing anxiety.

To the women reading this—whether you’re 16, 30, or 50—if you've ever felt like your life didn’t follow the path you expected, I want to say this: you are not alone. The truth is, life’s timeline is rarely linear. The things we expect to unfold at certain points often take twists and turns, and that’s okay.

Are you feeling unheard, misunderstood, or frustrated in your relationships? If conversations often spiral out of control, leaving you more upset and disconnected than when you began, you’re not alone.

Let’s be real—change can be tough. It’s easy to feel uncertain or even downright uncomfortable. You might find yourself asking, “What’s next?” or “Am I doing this right?” It’s okay to feel all of this. Change isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. It’s through change that we discover new strengths, develop resilience, and uncover hidden opportunities for growth.

Have you been experiencing moments where you’ve doubted yourself, questioned your worth, or been consumed by negative self-talk? You’re not alone, and most importantly, you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle.

If you're reading this, chances are you're going through a rough patch, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or battling negative thoughts about yourself. Trust me, you're not alone. So many women—no matter their age or stage in life—experience these struggles.

In today’s fast-paced world, mental health has become a topic of increasing importance, yet many Christians still grapple with the idea of seeking therapy. There can be a misconception that faith alone should suffice for healing, but the truth is that integrating therapy into one’s spiritual journey can lead to profound growth and well-being.

Addiction is a disease more than it is a choice. No one with an addiction wakes up each morning wanting to engage in habits that lead to negative outcomes.

The earliest trick we learn in life is how to ask for help, and that’s through tears. Infants don’t only cry when they’re hungry. Sometimes, they want warmth, closeness, social attention, safety reassurance, and other emotional reassurance.

When it comes to depression and sleep, the relationship tends to mimic a chicken-and-egg situation. It can be difficult to tell which one came first and which one followed.

Have you noticed your anxiety levels dropping when you have the chance to step away from technology for a few days? Maybe you feel especially calm when you are hiking or camping.

During the length of any relationship, there are going to be ups and downs, trials and tribulations. Life will try to throw a lot of challenges at you. How you respond to your partner in these instances can make or break your bond.
