DEPRESSION
Is it just a sad mood, or do you feel so empty and hopeless that you can no longer manage everyday life? Do you struggle with persistent fatigue, indecision, sleep problems, appetite changes, guilt, or even thoughts of self-harm or suicide? You do not have to live this way! We can help you to…
identify the different types of negative thoughts;
intentionally reframe them to reflect a more rational perspective; and
develop new, positive patterns of thinking that will change your life!
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Did you know that under stress, your body goes into a “fight or flight” mode that can cause long-term health issues if not managed? The good news is that it is possible to reduce this physiological response to stress. To paraphrase the famous words of the Serenity Prayer, you can learn—with God’s help—to…
change (or reduce) the stressors you can change;
accept (or manage) the stressors you cannot change; and
find the wisdom to know the difference.
ANXIETY / PANIC
It’s normal to feel anxious occasionally—none of us would live long if we had no fear of danger. But sometimes anxiety grows beyond the healthy norm. Do you ever…
…feel like you can’t “turn off your brain” and relax… ever?
…struggle with irrational fears that don’t even make sense to you?
…find yourself stalled out by “analysis paralysis”?
…feel like your body is stuck in “fight or flight”?
Anxiety may present as a single episode, triggered by a traumatizing life event. Or it may be chronic, left over from experiences so long ago you don’t even remember them.
