A personal self-soothing or coping kit is a great resource to have for those stressful times. Here are the instructions if you would like to create one:
1. Choose 1 or more from each category
2. Keep them in a physical box or digital folder
3.Practice using them when you’re calm so they become automatic when you’re stressed

Tip: I love using my notes app and adding links for meditations, guided breathing exercises, affirmations and relaxing sounds. On the same note I also include several options of each soothing category as reminders. Having everything together makes it so much easier!

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you decide to start building this kit. If you already have one - what else would you add to the list?

Let’s take this time as an opportunity to build more awareness about autism, and be a source of support for those who need it.

While autism is often associated with children, it’s important to recognize that autistic adults exist, and many are thriving. In fact, more and more adults are now receiving diagnoses thanks to increased awareness, improved diagnostic tools, and updates in diagnostic criteria.

If you are an autistic person: I want you to know that your brain is beautiful and you are loved.

If you are a parent or caregiver of an autistic person: please don’t let outside noise make you believe it’s your fault. You are doing amazing.

You are not alone. As a therapist and person, I will never stop advocating for those who need it and I will never stop talking about the importance of mental health, support and access to resources. #asd #autism

Nutrition, movement, sleep, and hydration…how are these connected to mental health? These habits are deeply tied to both physical and mental well-being. Nourishing the body with balanced meals, staying hydrated, and incorporating movement support brain function, energy levels, and emotional regulation. Yet, it’s also important to acknowledge the other side: when someone is struggling with their mental health, motivation and consistency in these very habits can be impacted. This creates a cycle, mental health influences our ability to engage in healthy routines, and those routines, in turn, influence our mental health. By recognizing this connection we can approach wellness with more compassion, patience, and intentionality.

When engaging in these habits feel too difficult , remember: even small steps matter. A glass of water, a short walk, or one balanced meal is a powerful start toward supporting both your body and your mind. 🌱🧠

Hi,everyone! 👋 My name is Karina and I’m a bilingual therapist @beyondthescaletherapy, offering virtual and in-person sessions in Miami, Fl. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and/or challenges often associated with ADHD. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, seeking a supportive space that also helps them grow. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally aware. I focus on the whole person, highlighting their strengths and using their values to guide decisions, so they can create a life that feels truly aligned with who they are.

I aim to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I believe everyone is unique, and together we explore what strategies and approaches work best for you. Using evidence-based practices, I tailor sessions to each client’s needs and goals. Together, we work toward greater clarity, emotional balance, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of confidence and self-connection.

You deserve to live a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with who you truly are, and I’d be honored to support you on that journey. Whenever you’re ready to begin this journey, don’t hesitate to reach out.

How many of these “about me” did you already know? Let me know below! 👇

Pause . Breathe . Notice. This simple practice can help ground you in moments of overwhelm. This is how to ⬇️

PAUSE: Stop what you’re doing, even if just for a few seconds. It interrupts autopilot mode or reactive patterns.

BREATHE: Use your breath as an anchor. Take a slow, intentional breath. In through the nose for 4 seconds, out through the mouth for 8 seconds. This small action helps signal safety to your nervous system.

NOTICE: Notice without judgement. Bring your attention to what’s happening within and around you. Notice sensations, emotions and what’s happening in your environment.

You don’t have to figure everything out, sometimes the first step is just creating space to be with what is.

Save this as a gentle reminder for the next time you feel disconnected.

Your well-being is always worth the effort. ⬇️

There is no such thing as “wasted time” when it comes to taking care of yourself. Your mental, emotional, and physical health form the foundation of everything you do. Therapy, rest, movement, or creative expression…every effort you make toward your well-being is worth it!

Prioritizing your well-being enhances mental clarity, resilience, and emotional balance while also strengthening relationships and deepening your sense of purpose and fulfillment. By caring for yourself, you affirm your own worth…self-care is not just a necessity but a powerful act of self-respect and self-love. 🫀🧠🌱

Make space for growth by letting go of what no longer serves you, even if it involves uncertainty or change. 🌱

Personal growth begins when you release things, habits, or relationships that are holding you back, causing stress, or blocking your progress. By letting go of what’s no longer beneficial, you create room for new opportunities and the possibility of something better in your life. Embracing change allows you to move forward and grow. Trust that this shift will lead you to greater fulfillment and new beginnings. 🧠🫀You got this! #therapy #mentalhealth #embracechange

Every emotion you feel has a purpose. Anxiety, joy, sadness, anger, fear…each one is important. Emotions help us understand our experiences and guide our actions.

It’s important to accept all emotions, even the uncomfortable ones. Ignoring or hiding them, can provide temporary relief, but one way or another, with time, they are going to manifest. Instead, try to listen to what your feelings are telling you. Recognize and accept your feelings, this can allow you to understand yourself better and respond to situations in a way that honors your true self. Embrace your emotions; they’re a key part of who you are. 🤍

If you want to gain tools to help you manage and accept your emotions, talking to a therapist can be helpful. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your feelings and learn how to handle emotions in a positive way. Our team has availability and encourages you to take the next step toward healing by scheduling a therapy appointment today. Use the link in bio or message me or @beyondthescaletherapy to schedule.

Your therapist,
Katiana
