🌧️ Feeling the Winter Blues? Let’s Talk Seasonal Depression 🌞

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects many during fall and winter due to reduced sunlight. It can leave you feeling tired, unmotivated, and overwhelmed—but there are ways to fight back!

Here are a few tips:
🌟 Get Sunlight: Spend time outside or sit near windows during the day.
💡 Try Light Therapy: Light boxes can mimic sunlight and improve mood.
🏃‍♀️ Stay Active: Even a short daily walk can help boost your energy.
🤝 Stay Connected: Social interactions can improve mental health.
🍎 Eat Well: A balanced diet can stabilize your mood.
🧠 Seek Help: A therapist can provide support if symptoms persist.

SAD is treatable! Learn more from the National Institute of Mental Health or schedule a time to chat with Michelle or Angie!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses your eyes by guiding them in specific movements, typically side-to-side, while you focus on distressing memories or thoughts. These eye movements mimic the way your brain processes information during REM sleep, helping to "reprocess" and reduce the intensity of negative emotions connected to the memory. Over time, this can help you feel less triggered or affected by those past experiences.
