Only Human Counseling Services LLC

Only Human Counseling Services LLC Private Practice therapist focused on mental wellbeing. My specialization is in grief and loss - specifically with traumatic loss and/or complicated grief.

Therapist and Owner: Anna Arciero, MA, LPC, NCC
My main focus is on the importance of emotional well being. I believe that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and see the counseling office as a space for clients to express feelings, receive validation and support. I believe that people have all of the components for a happy and healthy life but sometimes need help processing their feelings and learning effective ways to cope. I also specialize in the LGBTQ community and related factors that can arise from self esteem, social supports, depression, trauma, gender and relationship issues. I also work with clients on effective communication - whether that's changing negative self talk, interactions with significant others, family/friends or even in the workplace.

At the end of the day, the conversation is between you and you.

Here’s a question: Have you ever been ingrained in the habit of reacting to others, compromising your values, and even your priorities just to belong… and are you increasingly charting your own course?

Have you noticed that when we realign with our true nature, regrets no longer play center stage?

Be true to you, and over time, traumatic relationships will recede, as more meaningful ones take center stage. Trust the process. You are always planting the seeds of positive change.

Drop some 🌱🌱🌱 if you resonate.

Ever heard the phrase, “talking until you're blue in the face?” When people don't want to listen to you, they won't. Ignoring you might be their superpower.🫠

Learn when to accept that someone is intentionally disregarding what you're saying.

💜 I wish my mother knew this!
She put so much responsibility on to me. She even told me about her sexual relationship with my Dad! 💜

How we feel and the emotions we experience are a central part of our mental health. Conversely how we respond to emotions is critical for our health, mental and physical. While they can perplexing, stubborn, frustrating, annoying, frightening and downright depressing at times, emotions are a fundamental and necessary part of brain functioning. In fact, they are central to being human.

Unfortunately societal beliefs often tells us we shouldn’t have emotions or some emotions are bad. Telling your brain it shouldn’t have emotions is like telling your heart not to beat or your lungs not to breathe, and it doesn’t make your brain very happy.

Emotions don’t always feel nice and can make us want to run away from them. And like any avoidance, short term this seems to work, we feel relieved. But inside your brain is feeling pretty annoyed at trying to hold it all in.

How you respond to your emotions is important. Research shows suppressing, berating and shaming emotions doesn’t help us deal with them at all and just creates more stress and make emotions feel even more difficult.

Naming, validating, expressing and recognising emotions seems to help us process them and help us become friends with them, rather than them having power over us. It seems to soothe those emotions and instead of adding a layer of more stress and difficult feelings, helps us deal with the ones we have.
