Five strategies to find greater peace—even when anxiety is still there.

01/21/2024

Helping young people understand how their brains work is not only empowering but also essential for mental well-being. By unraveling the mysteries of their minds, they gain valuable insights into handling emotions and thoughts, making daily challenges less confusing. This knowledge fosters self-awareness, normalizes common experiences, and encourages a compassionate approach to mental health (theirs and others!)

Picture a young person learning about their brain and realizing that a panic attack is not a sign of weakness but a natural response to stress. Understanding that the brain's "fight or flight" response can sometimes misfire and trigger intense physical sensations can make the experience feel less mysterious and frightening.

With this knowledge, the young person can start to understand the panic attack as a temporary and manageable reaction, rather than an overwhelming threat. This understanding can empower them to implement calming techniques, seek support, and ultimately make panic attacks feel less scary and more controllable.

Exciting news is coming soon!

In the meantime, if you know of anyone in need of clinical supervision, send them my way! I have openings for my Wednesday 8pm group starting Feb 7th!

I am open to work individually with social workers or work with a practice or agency that is in need of a social worker to provide clinical supervision to social work staff!

More to come! 😁
