Brynn Gutelius, LAC, reflects on her children’s graduations and grieving the passage of time.

One way to grow in emotional intelligence is by tuning into what your body is communicating to you.

Life has many stages, and their transitions are often scary. Brynn Gutelius, LAC, challenges us to ask, what if it’s good?

Emotional intelligence asks, how well are you able to feel?

Before you think about New Year’s resolutions, consider this advice.

This Christmas, may we have stronger eyes of faith to see God's blessings in our lives, big and small.

How do we bridge the gap between the chaos and demands of the season with the peace and contentment we long for?

Christmas traditions may be spiritual, silly, competitive, somber, or anything in between. Most of all, they make the season special as we connect to those closest to us.

Sometimes, it’s possible to both long for relationship and fear closeness.

Grief and loss may cause us to shy away from anything beyond extending our prayers. But there are practical ways to be a friend.

While autonomy is something to be valued, its extreme can come at the cost of our ability to form healthy relationships. 

What’s the state of your friendships?

What happens when relationships are characterized by anxiety?

Relationship is at the heart of who we are as people. One way of discussing relationships comes out of Attachment Theory.

Have you ever typed an entire email or text and second-guessed yourself out of fear that your words might be misinterpreted? For most, this is a daily task.

Instead of a New Year's resolution, how about a New Year's evaluation? Before we can make real change in our lives, we need to evaluate ourselves to gain insight into who we are and the kind of change we need.

When it comes to “getting what I want,” I can’t help but wonder how many times my mindset toward God is similar to the mindset I had of Santa during childhood. 

Because many of our anxieties stem from a fear of the unknown or loss of control, the best way to regain safety is to accept uncertainty.

How do we think about treating eating disorders?

Our attachment style with early childhood caregivers informs how we seek relationships going into adulthood.
