October is emotional wellness month! It’s hard to believe November is already approaching but there are still a few days to give extra attention to your emotional wellness. This might look like extra self-care, being mindful, and/or prioritizing yourself and building resilience.

It seems like everyone has been in a funk lately, especially when it comes to work and productivity. We often hear messages that our value and worth come from how much we give to our work, school, extracurricular activities, the people in our lives, etc. It’s so important to consider what you need and prioritize your well-being, too!

If you’ve seen me on here before, you may have noticed the upgraded credentials! I recently graduated with my doctorate in counseling psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples and families on a variety of concerns. These have included:
•Health behavior change for things like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and weight management
•Phase of life changes, like a breakup/divorce, changing jobs or starting school, and grief
•Relational concerns, like difficulties communicating
•Mood concerns, like symptoms of depression and/or anxiety
•Serious Mental Illness, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders

I can’t wait to continue providing behavioral health services to individuals and couples across Texas!

Here are just a few ways to honor those who have passed. This can help in the grieving process and even as it becomes easier to live in this new reality. What other ways have you honored someone in your life who is no longer here?

Death has a way of making its self known to everyone at some point. For some, it may bring reflections of fond moments and serve as a reminder to be present and hold your loved ones. For others, it may bring moments of dissonance. Either way, it’s important to honor the person who has passed and/or yourself in the grieving process.

Many expect grief to be linear but it’s quite often the opposite. One day might feel okay and the next might feel incredibly heavy. It may even change hour by hour. Grieving is a personal, unique process for each person. It’s important to take the time and space you need to mourn, even if it feels as though you should be “done.”

Here are some non-tangible things people tend to look for in a therapist. It’s important that you like and get along with them! If you don’t feel as though they’re a good fit for you, have no shame in your game and fire them. This can be uncomfortable for some people but therapy is a place you should feel heard, validated and connect with the person you’re talking to.

So, you want to start therapy but where do you start?! Here are just a few questions you can ask a therapist during your consultation with them. Some will offer a free 15 minute consultation, while others don’t offer one at all. What are some other questions that might be important to add to this list?

Shopping for a therapist can be tough, especially if it’s your first time or if you had a previous experience that was unpleasant. What questions do you ask? What feeling are you looking for, as far as connection goes? What traits do you want in a therapist? You’ll spend one hour (or more) with this person and it’s important to feel like they’re a good fit for you.

Thinking about switching things up in your home can be overwhelming! Especially if the current set up isn’t having the desired impact on your mental health. What is one thing you want to start with to make it your ideal, cozy, relaxation space?

Here are a few things you can incorporate in your home to improve your mental health! Of course, all of this is dependent from person to person based on your tastes. Color usage and emotional response seems to vary most, with each one having multiple possible associations.

Red is the color of power, aggression, and passion. It’s a warm color which means red accents can heat up a space quickly but too much may make people feel anxious or unsettled.

Orange is associated with energy, sports, competition, and innovation. It can also warm a space up to make it feel snug and cozy when used skillfully.

Yellow is the only warm color associated with relaxation! It’s often associated with happiness, creativity, and innocence. It can also intensify the effects of sunlight.

Green is a soothing, calm color associated with balance, harmony, nature, growth and renewal. A little goes a long way here! Too much saturated green can overwhelm a space while grayish greens and sage tones help create a neutral space.

Purple evokes feelings of luxury, privilege, and specialness, individuality, creativity, and quirkiness. Too much purple, however, can make some people feel irritable and arrogant.

For the neutrals, be careful about how much grey you use in a space to avoid feeling cold and unwelcoming. Brown creates a sense of dependability, securing, and safety when used in a balanced way. When used sparingly, black can create feelings of harmony and balance. When used liberty, it can make an area look powerful, dramatic, or important. White can make rooms feel brighter and bigger but when it is used too much, it can make a room look bland or sterile.

Have you noticed how your space at home impacts your mental wellness? Interior design can actually have a huge impact on your mood! After a long day at work, school, out and about, or even a day spent in the home, our minds and bodies want to unwind and recharge. It’s a space where we can (hopefully) control how it looks, how it’s organized, and what it feels like! Some people like a minimalist look and others like a maximalist look. What types of spaces do you feel most relaxed and cozy in?
