The rate of su***de is highest in middle-aged white men. Men experience all sorts of mental health struggles, but are less likely to seek help than women. This is often due to the societal norms that fuel a reluctance to talk and a downplaying of the symptoms experienced.
Men need support too!! If you or a loved one is seeking support, contact us to set up an appointment with a licensed therapist and begin your healing journey!

You can’t control how your colleagues think and act. You can’t control the traffic. You can’t control whether your loved ones become ill. And yet, accepting that you can’t control these things can be difficult in itself.
But although you can’t control the world around you, you can control your reaction to it.

Clay Gruber, LCSWS here at Stillpoint wants reminding us all that YOU are your own biggest advocate and have the power to decide who YOU want to see and for how long
"The great thing about therapy is you have complete autonomy over who you see (ignoring cost and insurance constraints) and have no obligation to continue seeing someone if they’re not a good fit. Although, it is important to be straightforward with your therapist and explain exactly what you want out of therapy and express any concerns or doubts. We are here for you, your journey, and best interest."
-Alice, MSW Intern, explains in one of her blog writings.

This week, therapist ✨Spencer Lee✨ shares how nature literally helps us heal and some tips and tricks on how to spend more quality time in nature.
"I feel as if all around me are advertisements for things that say “all natural”, “natural spring water”, “organic produce”, etc. The marketing departments must be on to something, and yet, how many of us really connect with nature itself? How often do we go outside and engage with the world we live in?"

Unmanaged chronic stress can lead to anger, relationship issues, family discord, and even anxiety or depression. The best way to make sure that you can take care of everyone else is to take care of yourself first! And one way to take care of yourself is by finding support from other guys going through similar stuff.
Group members should expect to participate in conversation to the extent that they feel comfortable, provide feedback for other group members, and learn and practice effective strategies for managing stress.
To sign up, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mens-support-group-tickets-297290161877 or you can call the office at (910) 769-6360

More often than not, drug addictions start with an experimental use of a drug in social situations. And for some people, the drug use becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of a drug to get their desired high, and soon a person may need the drug to simply feel “good.”
Within addiction counseling, the symptoms of addiction will be addressed and the related areas of impaired functioning, and therapist and client will structure the time and content for ongoing recovery.
Rob Burg, LCMHC, LCAS, works with clients wanting to adjust or end their substance use habits and take back control of their life, as well as sober folks looking for extra support in their continued recovery.

This week, Stillpoint therapist and Licensed Addiction Specialist, Rob Burg, gives some insight on this Sober Curious movement and what it's like living with the pressures of using substances.
He says, "In a nutshell, being sober curious is having the option to choose, question or change one’s substance use for physical or mental health reasons [...] There is still a lot of stigma about substance use being a “moral” problem or something that is a bad reflection upon the individual."

Every 62 minutes someone in the US dies as a result of complications from an eating disorder. Eating disorders are a persistent and growing concern in our community, and symptoms are often present starting in adolescents.
It is also important to note that disordered eating occurs on a spectrum from normative eating with a healthy body image to disordered patterns of eating and finally ending in a clinical eating disorder. Many adolescents and adults report struggling with body image, preoccupation with weight, and have a history of dieting. These patterns of behavior are important to be aware of and may be an ideal time for individuals to seek help. Best practices for health care would include working collaboratively with a medical provider, therapist, and nutritionist to safely change behaviors.
At Stillpoint, we have options:
🛋️ Professional counseling for those who believe they or their loved one is struggling with disordered patterns of eating or need support due to past struggles.
🧘 Yoga Therapy for those wanting to develop a relationship of trust and safety in ones body.
📞 If neither of these things seem quite right for you, feel free to call the front desk and we can help direct you to the right place.
