Reframing, Realigning & Remembering Who You Are

Welcome to this week’s Willow Tree Therapy reflection - a gentle space to pause, ground yourself, and reconnect with the wisdom already within you.

As we move through Thursday’s energy - ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, wisdom, and belief systems - it’s the perfect time to reflect on the stories we tell ourselves and ask:

Are these stories helping me grow, or holding me back?

The Astrological Energy of Thursday

In astrology, Thursday is aligned with Jupiter, the great teacher of the cosmos.

Jupiter encourages us to:

• Seek truth and understanding

• Expand our beliefs beyond limitations

• Reframe challenges as lessons

• Dream bigger, while staying rooted in our values

When we work in harmony with this energy, we’re better able to explore our inner world with curiosity, not criticism.

So today, let’s use this Jupiterian invitation to gently shift our mindset - from self-blame or confusion toward insight, opportunity, and self-compassion.

NLP Spotlight: Reframing the Mind’s Language

In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), we work with the idea that our internal language - the way we speak to ourselves - creates our emotional experience.

This means that the way we frame a situation determines how we feel about it, and how we respond.

For example:

• “I keep attracting the wrong people.” → becomes → “I’m learning what I no longer want — and getting clearer on what I do.”

• “I’ll never be able to do that.” → becomes → “I haven’t done it yet, but I’m growing every day.”

These small shifts matter. A single reframe can move you from feeling stuck to feeling empowered. From fear to curiosity. From shame to self-respect.

Holistic Therapy View: Mind, Body, Energy & Spirit

At Willow Tree Therapy, I integrate tools from holistic therapy - counselling, somatic awareness, NLP, energy understanding, and gentle coaching - because healing doesn’t live in just one place. It lives in the whole of you.

When we reframe a thought, we’re not just changing the mind - we’re also:

• Soothing the nervous system (body)

• Creating new emotional pathways (heart)

• Realigning with our intuition (spirit)

• And opening space for change (energy)

In a session, we might combine:

• Breathwork for grounding

• NLP for mental rewiring

• Astrological insights to uncover deeper patterns

• Psychoeducational support to build understanding and safety

Healing isn’t linear. But when we weave together these perspectives, we begin to feel supported from all angles - not just mentally, but soulfully too.

Journal Prompt (for today or your next moon ritual):

“Where have I been underestimating myself - and what might change if I started believing in my own wisdom?”

This question is powerful under Jupiter’s influence, especially as we head toward the weekend. Let it stir something ancient and kind in you.

Until next time,

Dan

🌳 Final Thought: Like the Willow Tree…

You do not need to force yourself to bloom.

You simply need to clear what’s blocking the light.

Through holistic therapy, NLP, and soul-aligned reflections, we don’t “fix” you — because you were never broken.

We reframe you.

We realign you.

We remember you — whole, wise, and enough, exactly as you are.

If today’s message spoke to you, or you’d like to go deeper with 1-to-1 sessions, I’m here to walk that path with you.

Until next Thursday,
