When using DBT, the goal is to find balance in our efforts to change things and accept the things we can't control. DBT will help you embrace the power of dialectics (for example, the need for acceptance and change) and learn skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete and specific skills for you to practice and implement across life.

DBT can help you create a “life worth living” by building your skills, brick by brick. Once you have mastered learning how to change your behaviors and emotions, you will reap powerful benefits—being able to replace your thinking patterns around misery and distress to find purpose.

What are professional wellness initiatives?

Professional wellness initiatives are holistic approaches companies can take to employee wellbeing. They can include health support, such as offering health screenings, nutritional support, and exercise events. Beyond that, initiatives can include material support to improve work-life balance, courses to connect employees to training that can improve their lives, and a two-way communication about what employees need and employers can provide.

Professional wellness initiatives that focus on the wellbeing of your employees’ bodies, and minds, are shown to improve your employees’ lives, improving workplace morale, which then improves your bottom line.

We agree with the former first lady, Michelle Obama, about therapy and mental health. At Counseling Col:lab, asking for support is never weakness; it shows strength in your conviction to care for yourself, so you can better navigate the world and care for those around you.

“Sadly, too often, the stigma around mental health prevents people who need help from seeking it. But that simply doesn’t make any sense. Whether an illness affects your heart, your arm, or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there shouldn’t be any distinction. We should make it clear that getting help isn’t a sign of weakness.” - Michelle Obama

07/18/2025

Being creative with your friends or family is a fun way to both deepen your bonds with the community around you, and express yourself in a way that enhances your coping skills. Here are some benefits of creativity with your community:

🧠 Creative expression like painting or drawing, dancing, gardening, cooking or baking, sculpting, photography, and more, can connect you to the people around you, and can create more connections in your brain.

🎨 Creativity lets you be honest in ways that simply talking may not, tapping into feelings and allowing you to release them in a way that feels safe and healthy.

👐Creating with others can relieve loneliness, helping you feel less isolated and allowing you to be expressive and vulnerable around people you care about, in a way that may feel safer and more comfortable to you.

Social media has become, increasingly, a place where teens do a great deal of their socialization, so the pitfalls of platforms become part of their social landscape.
So what can parents do?

🤳 Take a look at your own social media use; can you change what you do, to lead by example? Make it a family goal to make changes, such as tech-free times of day for you and your child, so your teen doesn’t see hypocrisy in your expectations.

🛴Find and prioritize other activities, in-person activities, to keep your teen present and in the world more often. Consider family activities, but also socializing that lets your teen be a teen, with other kids their age. The activity doesn’t have to be rigid or structured, even just making sure they have a place to spend time with friends in person, can make a huge difference in social media consumption for a teen.

🗣️ Talk to them. And more importantly, LISTEN to them. Ask about anything they’re engaging with, in a way that shows open-minded interest; banning them from use of certain spaces will simply make them more likely to sneak around about it, so engaging with them about what they’re doing and what needs they’re filling with their social media use is a better way to guide your teen toward a healthier, happier balance with social media.

Could your employees be suffering from burnout?

Signs of burnout include:
Feelings of diminished energy or exhaustion
Increased mental distance from one’s work, feelings of resistance or cynicism related to one’s job
Reduced professional efficacy

Burnout is serious business and can mean serious trouble for your business if your employees are experiencing it. Even worse, it’s not uncommon for management to react to burnout in ways that make it specifically worse by targeting employees instead of supporting them. There is another way; simple changes to how your business approaches burnout can solve current, and prevent future, problems.

Employee mental health matters, both to your bottom line and because your employees are human beings who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

Check out our advice on mitigating burnout for your employees. Some straightforward business changes can make a world of difference both to your burnt-out employees and to your business as a whole: https://counselingcollab.com/advice/taking-care-of-your-employees-mental-health

Today, we observe National Chronic Disease Day.

Chronic diseases account for 7 out of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States. The purpose of today is to raise awareness about the necessity for access to preventive measures against chronic diseases and the importance of providing adequate support for individuals living with them.

One of the most impactful ways to assist those managing chronic diseases, as well as to prevent future cases, is by developing connections and offering mutual support. This entails extending a helping hand and seeking assistance to achieve health objectives, ensuring access to healthcare, nutritious meals, and enjoyable physical activity. It also involves creating resilient communities where friendship, presence, and interconnectedness flourish.

Consider how you can better connect with those around you, with the goal of supporting yourself and others as we avoid, or manage, chronic disease in our lives.

07/07/2025

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an extended trauma response that carries the stress of an event, or an extended series of events, into your every day life. PTSD can be disruptive, painful, and lead to hypervigilance, a lot of effort avoiding triggers, and sometimes difficulty managing emotions.

Understanding of PTSD has evolved over the years, and it’s now understood that anyone, regardless of their age, race, or gender, can develop PTSD, and events that don’t give one person PTSD, could easily give another person PTSD.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks or nightmares, hypervigilance, and intense stress that stems from a traumatic experience (or set of experiences), you’re not alone. You’re not weak, you’re not a problem. And you can find help.

Counseling Col:lab offers therapy services specifically for trauma and PTSD, focusing on processing trauma and helping you feel safe again. Learn more here: https://counselingcollab.com/trauma-ptsd
