Being satisfied--"when is enough enough?" We all have things we like; learning the right amount of what we like is important. I use ice cream as an example--one bowl can be really nice. Two bowls: a little much. Seven bowls: WAY too much. Somewhere along the way, we have to decide when we are satisfied and not overdoing it. Boundaries are often discovered, and then can be set in a healthy way.

With all the information most of us receive every day, we can get overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Sometimes just taking a break, getting away from too many information sources, and relaxing can be a great strategy for better mental health.

Counseling clients are often seeking help with self-control. For Christian clients, I remind them that the last listed "Fruit of the Holy Spirit" is self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). This allows them to see that, just as a fruit needs time and nourishment to grow, so self-control grows with time and attention. Counseling can help clients learn where their self-control is weak and help them address those areas over time.

People who seek counseling often look for help in dealing with emotions. I usually describe emotions to them as "mad, sad, glad, or scared", then help them determine the intensity of what they feel (scaling). As people consider how much emotion they have in the moment, they can then find control of that emotion. Avoiding the emotion completely allows their feelings to be out of control, and so also the person gets out of control.

Professional Counseling is a process where an impartial person listens to a client's story, determines what the client is wanting, and then supports the client as they work to change. Some changes are long-term, as the issue being changed is long-standing. Other changes can happen in the short-term. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with each client in their unique space to help them better build the life they want to live in.

In the rush toward Christmas, we can go right past the significant holiday of Thanksgiving. More than eating lots of great food, Thanksgiving brings to mind having gratitude for what G-d has given us. This especially includes the important people in our past, our present, and our future. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

November and December can be busy months, with many social gatherings and emotional moments. It is okay to say no, as needed, or to limit time at an event. Setting healthy boundaries is a proper way of caring for self.
