Have you ever heard your child repeat a comment about themselves and wonder where it has come from? This can be very difficult, especially when you hear them using more negative based or shame based verbiage. It is important to remember that children often repeat what they have heard, whether positive or negative. Let’s take time to use more positive affirmations with our children to assist with giving them a sense of pride, confidence, and joy. Below are ideas of what you can say!

Schedules are officially changed which is resulting in more strict days and less time together as a family. This can be extremely challenging feeling limited with time spent together. One thing that can be beneficial for this is planning family activities and creating norms/traditions. Small things such as evening walks together, dinner as a family, and weekend movie nights are great ways to gain more time as a family. What are things you enjoy doing with your family? Comment below!

Does anyone else feel like they get caught in the comparison trap when it comes to parenting and their children’s development? It can be so hard when others share milestones or behaviors of their children to not compare your own child to the other’s development level. Remember, children all develop at different rates and others often share about the “good” taking place compared to the challenges they may be having with parenting altogether. At times, this parenting and compassion can feel overwhelming. If that is you, we would be happy to assist with re-framing thoughts and proving support during this challenging time.

When’s the last time you truly checked in to ask how you’re feeling? Is this something you have possibly been avoiding due to the large amount of stress you are experiencing? You’re not alone.

It can be challenging knowing what one should do in times of sorrow, hurt, stress, or frustration. When feeling these emotions, it can be easy to shutdown and keep ourselves locked away from the outside world and things that we normally enjoy. While this is the easy route, it is important to work and implement different skills and forms of self-care in these times of hardships. Having ideas of what to do can be challenging. Something as small as taking a walk, listening to music, or writing in a journal can take huge steps for our mental health. What are some things you like to do? Comment below!

One of the most challenging things is vulnerability. In a world where we are trained to be “perfect” it can be intimidating when having to share that we are struggling. But why? In reality, we all have challenges, struggles, and difficult stages. Taking time to reach out and gain assistance can not only help ourselves, but can also share with others that they are not alone as well. Whether this be to a friend, a family member, a teacher, or a therapist, let’s not be afraid to open up and ask for help in our times of need.

It can be easy to tell when one is not feeling well. From fevers, to coughs, or headaches we can often tell when we are not feeling well and are in need of rest. Your mental health is just as important to take care of as your physical health. The visibility of our physical health makes it more obvious and socially acceptable to prioritize. Just because others can’t see it, does not mean it’s not important. Taking time to ask yourself how you’re feeling, if you’ve felt increased worries, or the last time you felt joy is a great way to begin checking in and seeing how your mental health is doing. Let’s take time to check in on ourselves to prioritize our mental health just as much as our physical.

A new baby is an exciting time, but also can be a hard transition. A baby can impact a mother’s mood, ability to cope, self identify, work/home balance, and relationships with spouse and others. Postpartum emotions are difficult, and it’s hard to know what is “normal.” The anxiety and depression can be scary and feel overwhelming. If it’s postpartum depression/anxiety or adjusting to the transition of motherhood/adding an additional family member, counseling can be helpful!

Baby blues may include:
-crying for no reason
-feeling overwhelmed with motherhood
-being uncertain
-sleep struggles
-fatigue
-it can last 2 days to 2 weeks

Postpartum depression may include:
-sadness, crying, anger
- extreme mood swings
-lost of interest
-change in appetite
-trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
-feeling worthless or guilty
-difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions
-struggles bonding with the baby
-thoughts of harming baby or self

Therapy can be a challenging first step for many. It is often something unknown, and the unknown can be scary!

We work to provide a safe space in which all people are welcome to come and work through areas of need.

Do you ever feel like you’re in a constant state of having a negative mindset? This can happen, and it can be hard. Often times we can hold onto thoughts such as “I’m not good enough”, “I’m going to fail”, etc. While we will struggle in different areas, having a mindset of “I’m not capable” will likely result in one not completing or accomplishing the task at hand. Instead, let’s try to reframe thoughts and utilize statements such as “I can try” or “I can learn”. This small shift can assist with achieving different challenges. Next time you find yourself having more of a negative mindset, let’s try and reframe our thought to show our abilities and capabilities.
