Another great training from NOCD!

Treating social anxiety is crucial because it can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, relationships, career opportunities, and overall well-being.

Effective treatments like CBT, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and IFS can help individuals challenge their fears, reframe negative thoughts, and gradually build confidence in social situations.

Treating social anxiety disorder is crucial because:

1. Prevents Isolation and Loneliness

2. Reduces Risk of Comorbid Disorders

3. Enhances Career and Academic Success

4. Improves Emotional Well-Being

5. Encourages Healthy Coping Strategies

6. Supports a Fulfilling Life

YIKES WINTER!

Winter is a struggle for many. Lack of vitamin D and low distraction. If you are not used to getting quiet and being with your own thoughts, that's a problem.

Eat, hydrate and sleep! It sounds so basic but it will make a difference in the capacity that you have to manage low mood.

*Clean your space it will allow energy to flow.

*Listen to high vibration music. This is empirically studied. Specifically music that produces 528 hz, handpans, crystal bowls, meditation music.

*Get cozy. Embrace early bedtime, cozy fabrics, low lighting, ambiance.

*Diffuse scents that resonate.

Normalize winter being hard! Recognize that some people weren't made for this and that's ok!

Why are student therapists awesome?

Student therapists are qualifying licensed professionals in an 8-month unpaid program where they study under a registered practitioner authorized to supervise. It is during this time that they are heavily supervised, take time to adhere to regulations, and practice "by the book" because their grades and graduation depend on it.

Seeing a student for your mental health concerns allows for high-quality interactions, applications, and affordable/accessible services.

If you or a loved one is looking for accessible counselling services please visit the link below and contact Olivia Krysinski who will be taking on new clients in September.
