"New Year, New Me!"
Dear heavens - most of these lists might as well be a Copy/Paste versions from last year.
People may have the desire, but lack the discipline and accountability. Most of those goals are missing their true mark and needs.
I am very interested in helping people create true goals, resolve issues that keep them stuck, and gain self-awareness. Have a great start to the Year, and reach out if you have questions!

Stop Making Resolutions. Start Building Discipline.
Motivation fades. Usually by January 15th.
You know what does not fade?
The systems you build when motivation runs out. You already know what needs to change. You are simply waiting for it to feel easier. It will not.

New Year's resolutions fail because they are built on a fantasy - that declaring something makes you different. Self-awareness is better than random goals, and discipline is greater than motivation. January 1st is just another day.

The only difference between people who change and people who do not is not willpower but the willingness to do uncomfortable things consistently.

Hard Pill to Swallow: If your therapist keeps you in therapy for years without clear progress, find a new therapist. I built my practice on the opposite model: Get in. Do the work. Get out. Live your life. Most of the clients that seek me out to resolve a particular issue complete their work within 2 to 3 months; not because I rush them, but because we use neuroscience-based interventions that actually resolve issues rather than just "managing" them. Brief doesn't mean shallow. It means effective. Therapy isn't a lifestyle. It's an intervention. If you've been in therapy for years and still struggling with the same patterns, maybe it's time to try a different approach.

CE&S Article of the Week ‘Practicum Students' Anticipatory Thoughts About Challenging Client Situations’

Meet the Authors
• L. DiAnne Borders, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, ACS, Excellence Professor, Department of Counseling and Educational Development, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC
• Alexis Arzuaga, MDiv, MA, LCMHC, LCASA, NCC, Doctoral Student, Department of Counseling and Educational Development, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC
• Emily Spain, MS, LCMHCA, NCC (they, them), Specializes in eating disorders in their practice in Durham, NC.

Abstract
Practicum students’ anxiety as they envision seeing “real” clients can impede their self-efficacy and in-session functioning. To explore how anticipatory stress and coping theory might help better support them, we used CQR-M to code students’ (n = 42) immediate thoughts andreactions to three challenging client situations before and after practicum. Students’ responses reflected key tenets of the theory, pointing to pre-practicum approaches that may lessen students’ anticipatory stress and enhance their well-being.

Holidays like Veterans Day, while meant to honor those who served, can sometimes be difficult for veterans. The reminders of sacrifice, loss, and past traumas can intensify emotions, making these days challenging. Many face the stress of adapting to civilian life, and a festive day might heighten feelings of isolation or highlight struggles with mental health.

It’s important to support our veterans by acknowledging these challenges. Engage with community support groups, offer a listening ear, or volunteer with organizations devoted to assisting veterans in their transitions. On this Veterans Day, let's show our gratitude by being there for them, not just today, but every day.

Please note that our office will be closed on November 10th and 11th in observance of the Marine Corps Birthday and holiday, respectively. We’ll be back on Wednesday, November 12th, ready to respond to any messages received during our absence.

I'm excited to share the launch of Warrior Connection, a new veteran-focused nonprofit organization in North Carolina. Their mission is to help combat veterans and their families heal from the effects of war, especially in the face of the troubling statistic of veteran su***de rates.

Warrior Connection is kicking off its first fundraising effort, aiming to raise $25,000 by Veterans Day (November 11, 2025). Your support can help provide vital services, including golf therapy, accelerated resolution therapy (ART), and other trauma-focused interventions for PTSD, and spiritual healing sessions.

Join us in this mission to make a difference. Donations can be made online at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6LJKM8G86ZN74 or by sending a check to Warrior Connection, 760 Weathergreen Dr, Raleigh, NC 27615.

Together, we can reduce veteran su***des, strengthen families, and provide much-needed support.

Good morning everyone!

I want to thank everyone who supports veterans and their families in any capacity. I am very grateful to be part of the Warrior Surf Foundation and for all of the support they provide veterans and their families. As part of their Vision, they "establish hope for veterans and their families - one wave at a time."
I want to take this opportunity and reach out to you all to promote an event coming up this Saturday, September 27, at Folly Beach, South Carolina! As gratitude for what they do and how helpful they have been to me, I want to help them in their fundraising efforts for the 4th Annual Jason Bowman Foam Frenzy Classic.
We are grateful to everyone who has contributed and supported Warrior Surf Foundation as it helps many veterans (including myself) and their families through their wellness program, camaraderie, and great vibes at every surf session and in any event. We’re working hard to reach our target, and every donation helps us get there. If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, there’s still time to make a difference. Please look into additional information in the flyers embedded in this post and of course, please reach out to me or directly to Warrior Surf Foundation directly

Your support means the world to us and to those WSF serves. Together, we can make a lasting impact through this campaign. Thank you for considering joining us in this effort!

Warm regards!
