How to Support a Loved One Through a Panic Attack
Offered by FLTC

Do you have a friend or family member who regularly experiences panic attacks? If so, you may be looking for ways to recognize when these attacks are taking place and offer your support. We’ve got the answers you need below.

How to Recognize a Panic Attack
Even if you’ve experienced panic attacks yourself, it can be difficult to tell when someone around you is having one. Your loved one may be experiencing a panic attack if:

They’re flushed, sweating, or otherwise appear to be hot (for example, they might have taken off an outer layer of clothing).
They’re shivering or shaking.
They’re hyperventilating or having trouble breathing.
They suddenly went quiet.
How to Help Someone During a Panic Attack
If you think that a friend or family member might be having a panic attack, it’s important to stay calm and treat them gently. You may want to:

Reassure them that they’re safe, the panic attack will be over soon, and you’ll stay with them in the meantime.
Guide them through breathing exercises.
Take them outside or open a window so they can get some fresh air.
Take them to a more private place.
Bring them a glass of water.
If your loved one frequently has panic attacks, you may want to ask them when they’re feeling calmer about how they’d like to be supported in the future.

Get Help With Your Loved One’s Panic Attacks
If you have a friend or family member who regularly experiences panic attacks, we encourage you to meet with one of the knowledgeable therapists at our practice. We have extensive experience treating panic attacks, and we can supply you with tools and tips for how to support your loved one.

How to Track Your Mental Health
Offered by FLTC

If you’re looking to improve your mental health and overall well-being, one of the best things you can do is track how you’re feeling. Not only does this allow you to identify any issues you might be experiencing and set goals for how to resolve them, but it can also help you analyze how you’re progressing toward those goals. Here are some tips for how to track your mental health:

Use the tracking method that will work best for you. For example, some people enjoy the ritual of writing in a paper journal, while others prefer the convenience offered by a digital app.
Schedule a time to track how you’re feeling each day. For example, you could do it after dinner or before bedtime. If you have trouble remembering to do it, you may want to set a reminder alarm.
Find a comfortable space that’s free of distractions.
If you find it difficult to explain how you’re feeling overall, try focusing on specific indicators like appetite, energy, mood, sleep, and stress.
Set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. For example, rather than simply saying that you want to feel less anxious, say that you’ll spend 10 minutes meditating each morning for the next month.
Focus on one goal at a time. Otherwise, you may end up feeling overwhelmed, which could impede your progress.
Take Control of Your Mental Health
Once you’ve started tracking your mental health, you may find that you need a professional to help you achieve your goals. You’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at our practice. Our therapists are highly experienced and will supply you with the individualized, patient-focused care that we’ve come to be known for.

How to Emotionally Survive a Divorce
Offered by FLTC

Divorce is often one of the most difficult experiences that a person can go through. In many cases, it requires you to leave your family home, lose contact with couple friends, and miss out on time with your children. And it almost always involves losing someone that you once loved, as well as the future you had imagined having together.

Despite how hard divorce can be, there are steps you can take to protect your mental and emotional health during this stage of your life. You may want to try:

Spending time with family and friends
Playing a new sport
Trying a new hobby
Volunteering in your community
Journaling
Meditating
Exercising
Spending time outdoors
Treating yourself to a massage
Attending support group meetings
Divorce often causes people to feel anxious and depressed, so if you’re having a hard time coping, remind yourself that you’re not alone in feeling that way and that things will eventually get better. Give yourself a break while you recover from your divorce and adjust to your new way of life.

Consider Speaking to a Therapist
While leaning on your family and friends can often be very helpful following a divorce, sometimes it’s necessary to seek help from a professional. You’ll be glad to know that the therapists at our practice have extensive experience counseling patients going through the divorce process. We’ll draw on that background to provide you with the compassionate ear and personalized advice you need.

The Link Between Social Media & Infidelity
Offered by FLTC

Social media offers a number of benefits. It can help us feel more connected to our loved ones, introduce us to like-minded individuals who have similar interests, keep us updated on news and current events, and inspire us to try new things, just to name a few.

Unfortunately, social media can also make it easier for people to cheat on their significant others. Here are just a few reasons why:

Social media has made it easier than ever for people to meet each other and discreetly exchange messages and pictures.
Many people use social media to look up their exes, which can lead to them wanting to rekindle the relationship.
Social media allows people to reinvent themselves online in a way that they couldn’t do in person.
Some individuals don’t consider online affairs to be cheating in the same way as physical affairs (even if their partners disagree), making them more likely to engage in infidelity.
Notably, even when someone isn’t actually cheating, social media can cause their partner to feel jealous or suspicious and motivate them to start snooping around. This can lead to feelings of mistrust, betrayal, and resentment, which can negatively impact the relationship.

Experienced Therapists Specializing in Infidelity
Are you looking for a therapist who can help you move on from infidelity? The therapists on our team have extensive experience working with individuals who have cheated or been cheated on, and that background has provided us with unique insight into the connection between social media and infidelity. Contact us today at 954-945-0288 or contact@fortlauderdaletherapycenter.com to schedule your first therapy session.

Managing Work-Life Balance
Offered by FLTC

Do you have trouble balancing work and your personal life? If so, you’re not alone. According to Mental Health America (MHA), almost 40% of U.S. adults who are employed full time reported working 50+ hours a week, and 18% work 60+ hours.

Despite how common it is for people to work long hours, having a healthy work-life balance is critical. Working too many hours—especially if it bleeds into your evenings, weekends, and holidays—can cause you to:

Feel stressed and burnt out
Strain your relationships with your loved ones
Neglect your hobbies and self-care activities
All of this, in turn, can negatively impact your physical, mental, emotional, and social health.

How to Achieve a Healthy Work-Life Balance
Creating a healthy work-life balance can sometimes be difficult, but it’s certainly doable. Here are some steps you can take to balance work and your personal life:

Manage your time. There are various time management techniques—such as Pomodoro timers—that can help increase your productivity, meaning that you’ll get more work accomplished in a shorter amount of time.
Multitask. If your job allows it, try to get some work done while simultaneously engaging in a self-care activity. For example, you could listen to a seminar while you go on a walk or do some laundry.
Set boundaries. Decide what times you’ll be starting and stopping work each day and stick to that schedule as best you can. Also be sure to set aside time for vacation days even if you’re not planning an out-of-town trip.
Get Help Balancing Your Work & Personal Life
Work-life balance plays a crucial role in our overall health and happiness, so if you’re struggling in this area, we invite you to contact us and schedule a therapy session. You can reach us at 954-945-0288 or through emailing us at contact@fortlauderdaletherapy.com

We look forward to helping you take the steps needed to balance work and your personal life.

Nurturing Positive Relationships With Coworkers
Offered by FLTC

If you’ve ever worked in a toxic environment, you know how taxing it can be. Conversely, when colleagues have positive working relationships, it can:

Increase productivity and efficiency
Allow you to trust one another
Make you feel more empowered to suggest ideas
Reduce stress levels
Make your work experience much more enjoyable
Whether you’ve just started at a new job or you’ve been employed for a while but are still finding your footing at the company, here are some steps you can take to build healthy relationships with coworkers:

Follow through on your promises. Your coworkers need to feel like they can rely on you to pull your weight of the work, and to ensure that happens, you have to fulfill your commitments. Also be sure to meet deadlines, and if you anticipate not being able to do so, give your colleagues a heads up.
Listen to your coworkers. Oftentimes, employees focus only on voicing their own opinions, perhaps in an attempt to prove themselves to their boss. But it’s equally important to actively listen to and acknowledge what your coworkers have to say.
Get to know your coworkers on a personal level. You and your colleagues don’t need to be best friends, but it may make it easier for you both to empathize if you know a bit about each other. Ask them how their weekend was and pay attention when they discuss their family and hobbies.
Avoid getting involved in office gossip. While you should be friendly with your coworkers, you shouldn’t participate in spreading rumors. Not only can engaging in gossip keep you from getting tasks completed, but it may also cause your coworkers to question whether you talk about them, too.
Show appreciation. Acknowledging your coworkers’ efforts can go a long way toward making them feel valued. This doesn’t just apply to work-related efforts, either—if they bring in baked goods or arrange a fun team outing, be sure to tell them how much you enjoyed it.
