September is Self-Care Awareness Month, and we want to push back on what that phrase usually means.

Self-care isn't a candle and a bubble bath, though those are nice too. It's asking yourself what you actually need, and taking that answer seriously, even when it's inconvenient. Resting before you're running on empty. Saying the honest thing instead of the easy one. Letting your body have a say, not just your to-do list.

We also want to name something that often gets left out: self-care was never meant to be done alone. So much of self-care culture is really just hyper-independence in disguise. But humans are relational creatures, we heal in connection, not isolation.

So this month, think of self-care less as a solo checklist and more as a relationship, with yourself, and with the people who show up for you.

Swipe through for a few places to start. If you want support building a more sustainable rhythm of care, we'd love to help. Book a free match call, link in bio.

We believe healing happens best in community, so our groups aren't just a service, they're an extension of everything we stand for. Here's what we've got going on right now ⤵

👉 Chillona is Chingona
For Latinas, trans women, and non-binary Latine folks navigating identity, culture, and emotional expression

👉 Chronically Human
For those living with chronic illness or disability who are tired of "I'm fine" being the only option

👉 Making Room
For caregivers holding a lot for everyone else and needing space for themselves, too

👉 Guys Night
For men and masc-identifying folks wanting real connection and honest conversation (now with three cohorts, including one for ages 18-25)

👉 Beyond the Binary
For trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive humans seeking community and belonging

👉 Dead Parents Club
For young adults navigating parent loss, honest, human, and occasionally darkly funny in the way grief sometimes is

If something here feels like it fits, you don't have to figure it out alone.

At Kindman & Co, we don't hide behind the "therapist" title, we show up as full people first.

Our team brings lived experience into every session, not just clinical training. Neurodivergent. Mexican. Q***r. Immigrants. In recovery. Disabled. First-gen. Still figuring it out, just like you. We believe that range matters, because healing happens in relationship, and relationship requires being real.

We were never interested in the blank-slate, buttoned-up version of therapy. We'd rather you know exactly who's sitting across from you, differences and all.

No matter who you are or what you're carrying, there's someone here who gets it, not just professionally, but personally.

Therapists, this is your sign.

How to Be a Relational Therapist, Level One starts this Sunday, September 27th, and spots are almost full.

If your training taught you to be neutral to a fault, a blank slate who leaves their personhood at the door, this training exists to challenge that. Across 4 modules and 12 CEU hours, you'll build a relational foundation grounded in vulnerability, here-and-now awareness, and using your own humanity as a clinical tool, not something to hide.

This isn't a lecture. It's a small cohort (10-14 therapists) built for real practice, real community, and real growth alongside peers just as invested in doing this work differently.

If you've been thinking about it, this is your last call. Link in bio to register before Sunday.

What is Hispanic & Latine Heritage Month?

It runs from September 15 to October 15, beginning on the independence days of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, with Mexico's following on the 16th and Chile's on the 18th. These dates mark liberation from colonial rule, but colonialism's effects didn't end with independence. They live on today through generational trauma, forced assimilation, and the ongoing work of resisting erasure.

Mental health can't be separated from history or systems. Immigration stress, racism, language loss, and pressure to assimilate all shape how safe a person's nervous system feels, not just what's happening internally.

Resilience gets celebrated a lot this month, but we want to name what it's often a response to. Over-functioning. Hyper-independence. Silence as survival. These aren't just cultural traits, they're adaptations to a world that hasn't always made safety or belonging available.

Healing includes honoring where that strength came from, and giving yourself permission to put some of it down too.

Feliz día de la independencia 🇲🇽 Share this and celebrate with us.

This week's question: how would you tell a client they keep choosing emotionally unavailable people?

Our answer: we wonder out loud with them. Sometimes the patterns we keep repeating aren't about bad luck, they're about familiarity. What feels safe isn't always what feels good, and what feels good isn't always what we grew up around. Curiosity, not judgment, is where the real shift starts.

Got a question you've always wanted to ask a therapist? Drop it below or send us a DM, we might feature it in an upcoming Reel. Ask us anything (we mean it) 💙

It's Su***de Prevention Month, and one of the most useful things any of us can do isn't complicated: it's checking in like we mean it.

"You good?" often gets a reflexive "yeah" back, not because someone's fine, but because the question doesn't leave room for anything else. An intentional check-in isn't about saying the perfect thing. It's about noticing out loud, staying curious instead of rushing to fix, and coming back again even when nothing seems urgent.

If you're the one struggling right now, you don't have to seem okay around the people who love you. And if today feels heavy, you don't have to hold it alone.

You can reach out to us or to someone you trust. You can also call or text 988, or chat online with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. *Please note: 988 hotlines are required to send emergency responders if the operator believes you're at imminent risk of harming yourself or someone else, and they are not required to get your consent first.

If you'd rather use resources that avoid law enforcement involvement, or want a full list of confidential hotlines, we've put them together on our resources page on our website: link in bio.

If this reminded you of someone, send it to them. Sometimes that's the check-in 💙

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, and we want to name something we don't say enough: suicidal thoughts are rarely about weakness. More often, they're what happens when pain has gone unheld for too long.

Racism, q***r- and transphobia, poverty, ableism, immigration stress, and generational trauma all shape who feels safe enough to ask for help, and who's been taught, often for survival, to carry it quietly instead. Distress like this is often a reasonable response to an unsupportive world. Not a personal failure. Not something wrong with you.

If you are struggling, you don't have to carry it alone, and you were never meant to. We've put together a list of confidential support options (including ones that don't involve police) on our resources page, link in bio.

Your story isn't finished. Neither are you.

The documentary nobody asked for, but here we are.

Happy Labor Day. We spend all day telling people rest isn't something you earn, then somehow end up answering emails at 9pm. Today we're actually taking our own advice (no promises about tomorrow).

We have a podcast, and we almost didn't tell you why it's different.

Most therapist content online is polished, professional, buttoned up. Ours isn't. Out of Session is where we leave our "therapist selves" at the door and just talk, messy stories, real questions, no pretending we have it all figured out.

Why? Because we think the "expert on a pedestal" model of healing is kind of broken. The most honest, useful conversations usually come from people who admit they don't have all the answers, not people who perform like they do.

So if you're curious what that actually sounds like, we'll let you find out yourself.

Out of Session is live now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Link in bio.
