Men's mental health

Today, we are talking about men's mental health. Men are struggling, and consequently, woman are feeling those effects. With marriage rates down and social media movements of men bashing, I wanted to add a different perspective to the conversation. Check in with the partners, friends, dads, brothers and others. Help create a space for their vulnerability.

The myth of perfection

Today, we are talking about the myth of perfection. So often we have an idea of what something should feel like, look like, of be and we lose sight of what it is. I was inspired by listening to "The Gift 14 lessons to save your life" by Dr. Edith Eger who is a holocaust survivor, mother, and psychotherapist. She has been through really challenging horrible things and continues to live a beautiful life. #notperfect #existentialtherapy #controlwhatyoucan #mentalhealth #wdnc 

Self-awareness

Today, we are talking about self-awareness. Part of healing, growing, and changing behavior is being aware of who we are and how we show up in the world. Not with criticism and judgement, but with compassion and patience. #selfawareness #mentalhealth #howdidigethere #skillbuilding #getcurious

Rebuilding and repair

Today, we are talking about rebuilding and repairing. As we evolve in our human experience we get so many opportunities to evaluate the different parts of ourselves. Part of doing that is repairing old thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. We can make a plan and create new parts rebuilding to the new version of who we want to be. #couplestherapy #evolving #newskills #repair #rebuild

Betraying yourself

Today, we are talking about how we betray ourselves. In one's life we make decisions and choose to live in a way that is inauthentic to who we actually are. Sometimes, it a conscious choice, and other times it is several small choices over time. Pay attention to how you feel when you make those decisions. Start to create space in your life for your whole self. #betrayal #authenticself #beyourself #healingandgrowing

Compartmentalization

Today, we are talking about compartmentalization experiences and emotions. It is sometimes helpful, if not necessary, to put those aside to continue carrying on through life, especially when those things are challenging. #compartmentalize #mentalhealth #gettingthrough #wholeself #feelings

Surrender

Today, we are talking about Surrender and how helpful it is to just sit down sometimes. We are all dealing with so many things. It feels like overwhelmed, frustrated, sad, angry, afraid, and exhausted. One of the only ways to get through really hard times is to take a moment to surrender. Not give up, but slow down. Take care of your basic needs, breathe, make a plan, and then get up and keep doing. #anxiety #surrender #sitdown #takecareofyou

Mindset and assumptions

Today, we are talking about the different mindsets. How we look at the world depending on our attitudes, beliefs, feelings, thoughts, and assumptions. We get to choose how we move through challenges by shifting our mindset or perspective. #mindsetmatters #intention #assumptions #experiences 

Generational trauma

Today, we are talking about generational trauma. We can look back though our family lineage and see pattern of behavior. In order to change things for the better, it is important to understand context, history, and then makes changes in our own behavior. #generationaltrauma #knowoyourhistory #makeschanges #lessonsfromyourmother

Judgement

Today, we are talking about judgement and how we are perceived. Sometime we need to check our own behavior and often we need to check who is doing the perceiving. We might need to change our environment to one where we can be our most authentic selves. #judgement #findyourpeople #selfawareness
