When you release your desire to control others or fit them into your idea of how life should be, you'll find that you're warring less in that unseen internal battle, and more able to accept things as they are. When you recognize the limited control that you do have over others, you can move away from blaming and victim narratives, and focus on what you can do differently in the future. The less you respond to negative people, the more peaceful your life will become.

As with many truths in life, facing the racism that is present in this country requires balance: doing what we can to object to the injustices we face, and taking the time we need to center ourselves, process, and heal.

"With the great many self-help books published and readily available for mass consumption, it is easy to believe that a person can systematically 'cure' addiction and alcoholism (either their own or in a person they care for) like they would a broken relationship. It would be great if it was that simple or effective. Sadly, it is neither." Keep Reading- https://counselingcollab.com//self-help-does-not-work-for-

Emotions are real, and they are a good thing. They are, however, not facts. They are real, but they aren't reality. If I feel a certain way, that doesn't mean that's what I am. If I feel I should do something, that doesn't mean that's what I should do. It just means I feel that way.... This is an important mental exercise and lesson to learn. It's important to be able to distinguish between our emotional reality in any given moment from the actual truth. #counselingcollab #counseling #holistichealth #mentalhealth #wellness #therapy #beautifulsilence #selfdevelopment

In life, at work, in relationships, I keep wanting growth to be something that comes naturally, that feels easy, that is the next logical step. But life keeps hitting with challenges to overcome, and requires growth in ways nothing like I've planned. This, I believe, is the change process at work, asking me to step out of the ideas I have about myself, begging me to stay open to the process. And as they say, "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you."... #counselingcollab #counseling #holistichealth #mentalhealth #wellness #therapy #beautifulsilence #selfdevelopment #emotionalregulation

For many of the most difficult things in life there is no training: marriage, parenting, and most recently, this global pandemic. There is no script and no model to follow, and for many of us we're making it up as we go. This time is especially difficult for those in the helping professionthose of us who are sought out for answers, for hope, for reassurance that everything will be okay. Near the beginning of this pandemic we wrote a blog that shares our heart for our colleag...ues in the field.

There is power in knowing that there are things in life you cannot control and yet still choosing to focus on the parts that you can.

Although many of us are weary about diving into the past and talking about our childhood, the truth is that the scripts we lived in our younger years continue to play out well into our adulthood. Our past contains a wealth of information that informs how we live our lives now. Without taking the time to listen to the messages it has for us, we are likely to repeat the same worn narrative. Bringing up the past does not mean that it has control over you, only that you might b...e finally able to understand yourself better.

How do you know the difference between feeling sad or down and suffering from clinical depression? For many of us, we may be feeling "off" but we're hesitant to use the word "depressed" to describe how we feel. We may even be well-versed in the symptoms of depression, and not even recognize them in ourselves- this is a part of the fog of depression, and a reason why it's important to check in and be honest with yourself about what you may be going through. A good place to s...tart is with the Beck Depression Inventory, a quick 21-question assessment that you can score yourself and use to gain insight about the symptoms you are experiencing, and have informed conversations with your doctor. https://www.ismanet.org//pdfs/Beck-Depression-Inventory-BD #counselingcollab #mentalhealth #wellness #therapy #grateful #thankful #happy #healthy #kind #selfaffirmations
