Michele Guidry, LCSW

I just applied for a brainspotting fellowship

I read this and felt deeply in my bones.

We were taught how to be capable, how to be useful, how to keep going no matter what. Nobody modeled what it looked like to simply be at rest and unapologetic about it.

That’s not an accident. Women who are at ease are harder to manage. Women who have given themselves permission to rest without earning it first are not easily exploited.

Learning to relax is an act of resistance. I’m still learning it too.

protecting your peace sometimes means accepting that you cannot control everything. focus on what you can do, and allow yourself to release the rest.

If anyone is in need of a BACS supervisor, let me know. i am happy to start using my license again.

There are layers to this healing that no one warns you about. Just when you think you have found solid ground, something older rises up from beneath it, patient and insistent, asking to finally be seen.

Of course it hurts. You're finally touching the places you couldn't afford to reach before.

Right now, hold the girl who carried all of it before you had language for any of it. She didn't just survive. She kept something alive in you that is only now learning to breathe.

I remember sitting with a client who felt stuck by grief—days flattened, memories too heavy to hold. Through steady validation, EMDR to gently process painful memories, and gradual exposure to everyday moments, we found a path back to manageable days. I draw on years mentoring clinicians to tailor care so it feels safe and real. If grief, PTSD, or addiction are keeping you from living, you don’t have to face it alone. We’re here in Baton Rouge at 2924 Brakley Dr. Ste. B2—we accept many insurances. Learn more and reach out: https://wix.to/OQNpEr7
