About this podcast

Therapist Sarah, LPC

Sarah MJM

I believe that all emotions and behavior make sense in light of a person's past experiences, such as upbringing, family, culture, beliefs, and values. I believe we all do the best we can with what we know and that everyone, given validation and compassion, has within them the answers they seek. People are extremely resilient, but often don't recognize this fact until they survive emotionally painful experiences. I seek to understand and accept people and enjoy helping them do the same for themselves. I'm a licensed professional therapist trained in mental health and substance abuse. I work with all sorts of mental health clients, including trauma work. I am also trained in EMDR, which is a modality of therapy to help the brain move past symptoms of trauma. I love my work and am excited to share what I know with you. I'm imperfect and will always have more to learn, so I'm also excited to hear your thoughts and feedback. Recordings labeled as "Mindfulness Meditation" are guided practices to be used over and over to help you practice the skill of mindfulness. This channel will offer you education about mental health, coping skills (DBT, CBT), emotions, communication, motivation, and how to find more peace and happiness in your life. This channel was created to offer an additional resource to the clients I work with, but it is also available to anyone who finds it helpful.

Embracing the Now: A Gentle Introduction to Mindfulness with Therapist Sarah

“Mindfulness is an acceptance of whatever occurs in the moment, including your thoughts, but choosing not to build upon those thoughts with more thoughts.”

Ever felt overwhelmed by the constant chatter in your mind? In this episode, Therapist Sarah, LPC, offers a soothing introduction to guided mindfulness meditation. Designed for beginners, this session helps you tap into the present moment by observing and describing your five senses. Whether it's the sound of birds chirping or the texture of your clothing, Sarah guides you to focus on tangible experiences around you.

She emphasizes that mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind but about accepting each moment as it is, without judgment. The practice requires effort and energy, but the rewards—like increased self-awareness and emotional balance—are well worth it. Sarah also provides gentle reminders to find a safe, uninterrupted space for this exercise and to shift focus if any sensations become overwhelming. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to start their mindfulness journey or deepen their existing practice.

It's a small step toward finding peace and clarity in the hustle and bustle of daily life.
