Why You (And Your Feelings!) Matter

by Erin Newton, LCPC “Second verse, same as the first! A little bit louder a little bit….” Here I am singing my song again! The song about how much moms matter and how much they deserve support and love. Just this week I had a mom in my life tell me that she pours everything […]

Why It Doesn’t “Just Go Away” With Time: How Trauma Works
