Dr.Charryse Johnson LCMHC, NCC

Taking care of yourself starts with understanding your own needs. 🌈

Identify what truly nourishes your mind, body, and soul, and be relentless in giving it to yourself.

Practice letting go of the idea that you must constantly push through the overwhelm.

It's okay to recognize when you need to change your pace and prioritize yourself. 🙏

More importantly, learn how to effectively communicate these changes to the people around you.

Open and honest communication helps others understand your boundaries and needs, fostering a supportive environment.

By intentionally committing to your needs, you not only empower yourself but also create a life that resonates with true happiness and purpose.

Ever feel that knot of fear tighten in your stomach when you set your sights on a goal? 😣

Maybe it's mastering a new skill, pursuing a dream career, or simply stepping outside your comfort zone.

We've all been there. Although, what if the difficulty isn't inherent to the challenge itself? 🤔

Think about it.

Often, it's not the complexity of the task but the fear of failure that holds us back.

Our anxieties build walls around our dreams, making them seem impossible.

By taking that first courageous step, by daring to try, we break through those barriers.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 💪

Momentum builds, confidence grows, and the once daunting challenge begins to feel achievable.

We discover that the difficulty wasn't preordained but a product of our self-doubt.

It's time to REWRITE the narrative you've been telling yourself for years.

Tell yourself, "𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴."

We are not one size fits all. As you engage in finding support ask questions and don’t let a passionate pitch and clever marketing get the best of you. You DESERVE to work with someone who was willing to study and do the work to support you with excellence and accountability.

Even as therapists, we are not skilled in everything. There’s a reason we are educated, licensed, trained, and required to spend thousands of hours in supervision.

For the record, I have several dietitians in my life that I love and respect. This is not a homogeneous statement. However, the recent trend of being all things to all people in the areas of mental wellbeing is concerning.

The potential risks of dietitians acting as therapists include:

1. Inadequate training: Dietitians may not have the specific training required to address mental health issues effectively. Providing therapy without the necessary qualifications can result in ineffective treatment and potentially harm the client.

2. Ethical considerations: Without proper training and expertise in therapy, dietitians may not be equipped to maintain professional boundaries, handle complex emotional issues, or navigate ethical dilemmas that can arise in a therapeutic relationship.

3. Misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment: Dietitians may lack the skills to accurately diagnose mental health conditions or provide appropriate treatment. This can lead to misdiagnosis, ineffective treatment, or exacerbation of mental health issues.

Awareness is a powerful way to widen our lens and be empathetic of the experiences of others. For many, Memorial Day will not be filled with boat rides and barbecues. It’s not an opportunity for rest that comes on the shoulders of lives lost.

The pain has already begun to rise, because in truth, it never leaves. Many veterans and loved ones are battling through the memories, the flashbacks, and the emptiness.

As I reflect, I want to pause ahead of the day and send my thoughts and prayers to those who have lost someone they love.Their sacrifice (and yours) does not go unnoticed.

Who are you holding in your heart this Memorial Day? I’d love to hear about their service and what made them special to you?

Financial Stress And Mental Health Financial stress can profoundly impact the brain, affecting cognitive functions, decision-making abilities, emotional well-being...

Live a life that sets your soul on fire! 🔥

Imagine waking up each day feeling excited, motivated, and clear on your path.

That's the power of living with purpose. ✨

It's about more than just ticking things off a to-do list; it's about aligning your actions with your values and creating a life that feels meaningful.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?

It's normal!

Many of us experience periods of feeling adrift, unsure of where we're headed.

This feeling can manifest as a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, a constant "what if?" looping in your mind, or simply a lack of excitement for the future.

The good news?

Finding your meaning is a journey rather than a destination. 💗

It takes exploration, self-reflection, and maybe even a little trial and error, but the most important step is starting!
