NEW YEAR... NEW JOURNEY?

At Integrative Psych we think it can be a great idea to use the new calendar year as an opportunity to reflect and take action to make big or small changes in your life. 

Keep in mind that achieving goals and maintaining new habits is not just about making time in your schedule.

What are some of the mental and emotional challenges that you expect to experience? Have you attempted to make similar changes in the past and failed? 

Consider this a friendly reminder that therapy may offer a rewarding path forward.

NEW YEAR…
If you’re hoping to make a change next year, no matter how small, ask yourself: What can I do right now to put myself on the path to success? 

Do you want to finally get fit? Get a new job? Learn a musical instrument? Become fluent in another language? Have a summer adventure?  

What are three steps you can take THIS WEEK so that you are ready to go in January? Join a gym, find a teacher, make a list of potential job prospects. Set it up now, schedule it, do a practice week. You get the idea. The more you can plan and take action now, the more likely you are to succeed.

“I think a lot of people have the assumption that therapy is just talking with somebody and that’s it. They may not understand that there are a lot of evidence-based therapies, high quality studies that are randomized, controlled trials that demonstrate that different modalities of treatment can be highly effective at treating a range of mental health issues.

Many of these therapies offer specific strategies. You can think of it similar to a medical treatment that uses specific steps to help the patient come to a better place than they were before their diagnosis. 

Therapy is a lot more structured and effective than many people may realize.”
— Jordan Arbelaez, DNP, PMHNP-BC

The holidays can be a weird time because it’s supposed to be a time to feel joy, but many of us don’t. Some of us struggle to find meaningful connections with those closest to us. The holidays can really make that painful. 

In the context of therapy: How can you connect with the people in your life in a way that is healthy for you? What are some strategies that can foster a sense of satisfaction and contentment during the holidays and beyond? 

Therapy can offer long term mental health strategies to get you through challenging times, and give you the resilience to survive —and thrive—no matter what the season.

“I don’t just want people to reduce their symptoms, which is a thing that we can accomplish in therapy. I want them to grow as a person. I want them to expand the repertoire of skills they have for managing and coping with life.” — Dr. Ryan Sultan
