  • Finding Hope in a New Year

    It’s strange, I don’t feel anything.  I’m numb. I’m not quite sure what to think about it.  Every New Years that I can remember has been a happy memory.  There has always been a sliver of excitement as I think about what the new year will bring and what I want to accomplish.  This new year is different. There is no excitement.  There are no thoughts of what I want to achieve, nor goals set.  I just feel emptiness.

    2020 was such an odd year.  It was a difficult year.  Imagine living in a beautiful country for the first time and being stuck at home, every day, most of the year.  When I first moved to Germany, it was like a fantasy land, almost like a fairy tale coming to life.  I saw medieval villages, spectacular castles, and traveled through the birthplace place of Grimm’s fairy tales, the Black Forest.  My first year and half was spent traveling throughout France, Austria, and Belgium.  It was why I decided to move to Germany for a few years in the first place.  I felt like my dreams were literally coming true.  Well, some of my dreams were coming true anyways. 😊

    Now I feel stuck and the fairy tale has faded.  Maybe it’s the dark clouds that fill the sky 90% of the time during the months of November thru March.  I’m not sure what the cause is of my feeling empty, down, and blah.  I do know that I am not the only person that feels the way I do.  All of our social communities have changed.  We have been forced into separation, secluded to stay in our own homes.    We have been forced to use more of the same thing that has made it difficult for Generation X to sit in a room and have a one-on-one conversation with someone else; more social media and more keystrokes on the www.

    I am trying not to be bitter against social media; I see myself as one of the first people to stand up to defend the awesome convenience’s technology has brought to us.  I love being able to talk and see my family in real time even when they are over 3,000 miles away.  I appreciate the ability to have any question I have be instantly answered by Alexa in the comforts of my own home. Humankind has been blessed with technology.  We are lucky to be living in a time of such advancements in science and technology.  There will be even more great discoveries in yours and my lifetime.

    But at the same time, I can’t help to think how physical and social restrictions will affect how we relate and communicate together as a community, as a global society.  One year ago, it was typical and expected to greet a person with a smile and handshake.  Shaking someone’s hand was a formality, but it was also personal.  Something like shaking one’s hand can go a long way for a person that is hurting.  Touch has always been a way to console a heartbroken child or a weeping mother.  It’s been about twelve months since we have been “instructed” to not touch each other.  Now we have the elbow bump, which feels so impersonal. The changes we saw in 2020 with how we socialize with each other is not a temporary change it’s going to have a long-term global impact.

    Now it’s 2021, where do we go from here?  Where is the hope going to come from?  For me, a glimmer of hope came from receiving the covid vaccine.  I took it, had an allergic reaction to it, and now can’t have the second dose.  So, that hope is gone for me, what else is there?

    This is when it gets really personal for me.  In my career I have always sought satisfaction and fulfillment from outside of me.  I have been heavily reliant on praise from my boss and co-workers.  I have strived to excel at projects and provide positive outcomes in the workplace.  You can ask my wife, about every two to three years, I get this itch that I need a change in my life (probably the main reason why we live in Germany right now).  I become dissatisfied with where and what I am doing, so I seek something else.  Again and again relying on my outside experience to bring me satisfaction and happiness.  When I make the change, I’m content for a little while because it’s a new experience and there are new things to learn, but then the work becomes old and monotonous.

    Yeah, 2020 was a crazy year for sure, but as I do more reflection on the past year, I realized that I have had a lot of growth.  It’s not been growth observed by other people, but the growth has occurred inside of me.  I have had amazing discoveries of the self. It’s possible the discoveries wouldn’t have occurred if I wasn’t quarantined in my home for weeks at a time.  I have contemplated a lot about the origin of true happiness.  2020 is the year that I fully understood that happiness does not come to a person from any one person or from any one thing, it only comes from within the self.  It’s a journey that starts with the person and stays with the person.

    I ask myself again, if I made such a great discovery of where happiness comes from, then why do I not feel excited and happy this New Years?  My best guess is that I have already forgotten what I have learned from months earlier of self-reflection.  I am not doing things daily to remind myself that happiness, peace, and satisfaction comes from within me.  I’ve gotten caught up in the world again, like so many of us do, I’ve been seeking happiness outside of me.  Wow, life is a hard journey.  Just when we think we got some of it figured out, we get caught in old thinking pattern again and end up back where we started a year earlier.

    When I first started writing this, my intention was to share some inspiration with you, some hope that 2021 will be better.  I think my writing has morphed into a different purpose.  I can’t tell you that 2021 will be better for you.  Life is unpredictable and it is always changing.  Of course, tragedy will still occur and hardship will continue to mold you.  It’s the small things in your path that will make the biggest difference for you.  Our path may be rocky, falling apart underneath us, or slick as a sheet of ice.  The path itself doesn’t really matter; the destination is also not as essential as how we hold ourselves up along the journey.  Your strength to continue taking one step after another comes from within.  It’s time to refocus on the power that is within and stop letting the outside direct where you go.

    It’s continued hope that connects you and me, that connects all of us.  Hope is knowing that even though we are each on different path’s we all have the same source within us that keeps us going. From this hope is where we can start to rebuild ourselves and our community again.

    You are never alone.  Find the hope within.

  • National Counseling Awareness Month

    April is National Counseling Awareness Month, and so I thought it would be a good idea to take this time to talk a little about mental health and the benefits of seeking treatment for whatever issues you may be facing.

    When we talk about mental health, we are talking about our emotional, psychological and social well-being. Our mental health not only affects how we feel but also how we think and behave as well as handle stress and make decisions.

    Mental Health Statistics

    Just how common are mental illnesses in the United States? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

    • More than 50% of American adults will be diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their life.
    • In any given year, one in five people in this country will experience a mental illness.
    • Children are not immune to mental health challenges, in fact, one in five will experience a serious mental illness at some point.

    Causes of Mental Illness

    While there is no single cause of mental illness, there are some common factors that are believed to contribute to the risk of developing mental health issues. These include:

    • Trauma or a history of abuse.
    • Stress-related to ongoing chronic diseases such as cancer or heart disease.
    • Chemical imbalances such as hormonal imbalances.
    • Use of drugs and alcohol.
    • Feeling lonely and/or isolated.

    Therapy Can Help

    Living with a mental illness can be incredibly painful. This is why National Counseling Awareness Month was started, to help those in need recognize there are people and resources available to them. A professionally trained therapist can help you uncover the cause of your mental illness as well as offer tools and coping mechanisms to turn your life around.

    To find a therapist near you, you can use this directory, which lists therapists by state and specialty. Keep in mind that many therapists are now offering sessions over the internet, so it may be best to pick someone you feel more comfortable with instead of someone who is geographically close.

    I do offer telehealth services and would be more than happy to speak to you about what is going on. Please feel free to reach out to me.

  • National Minority Health Month

    April is National Minority Health Month, a time for individuals within the BIOPC community to focus on addressing their mental health needs. Started 20 years ago, the National Minority Health Month Foundation launched National Minority Health Month to strengthen the commitment of local communities and mental health practitioners to eliminate the barriers minority populations often face when struggling with mental health issues.

    During this time, many of us, including those in the BIOPC communities, are facing daily struggles in dealing with the continued stressors related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health has released some guidelines and suggestions to help individuals stay as healthy as possible during this time.

    Exercise

    Moving our body is not only good for our physical health but also our mental health. Not only do we feel good about ourselves when we commit to an exercise regimen, but the movement itself helps our body to release “feel good” hormones that can alleviate stress and anxiety.

    Eat Well

    When we are dealing with stressful situations, most of us tend to reach for unhealthy comfort foods laden with trans fats and refined sugars. Not only do these foods tend to make us pack on weight, but the chemicals in these foods can exacerbate our mental health issues, making us feel more depressed and tired.

    It’s important to eat foods that support our mental health. Be sure to get enough protein and healthy fats. Your brain needs healthy fats to function properly.

    Be Gentle with Yourself

    When we are struggling with stress, depression or anxiety, it’s important that we are kind to ourselves and practice self-compassion and self-care. Take time for yourself each day to show yourself some love and nurture your spirit. Meditate, listen to music or get that massage you know you need!

    It’s also a good idea to reach out to a mental health professional to get some guidance and tools to help you navigate what you are going through. If you’d like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me. I’d be more than happy to speak with you about how I might be able to help.

  • 3 Ways to Be during COVID-19

    It’s a time of uncertainty.  COVID-19 spreading across the world is all we hear on the news, social media, and in family/friend conversations.  We are bombarded by information on how to stay physically healthy during this pandemic.  If I had a nickel for every time I heard the words, “cover your cough, don’t touch your face, or wash your hands for at least 20 seconds,” then I would have enough to buy a cheeseburger at McDonalds J.  It’s clear that we need to stay 6 feet away from people while conversing and to only be in groups of two people. Our physical body is one part of our well-being but what about the other major part? Our mind. What is not clear is how we take care of our minds through this time of change and uncertainty.  Your sole focus may be staying physically well with scheduled exercise and eating well. But you and I both know if your mind is full of worry and your body is flooded with anxiety, you may fall into unhealthy living and discouragement no matter how physically fit our body is.

    Alongside our physical workout, we need to engage in mental workouts to have peace of mind during times of uncertainty.  And by adding the three following mental workouts one may be led to a more complete sense of well-being.

    #1 Be Grateful. Gratitude leads to happiness.  Think about a time when you were happy.  Did you experience gratitude as well?  Did you feel gratitude for your friendships or close relationships?  Gratitude doesn’t just accompany happiness, it leads to happiness. Take time today to write three goods things that recently happened to you. It’s difficult not to crack a smile when you think about good things that have happened to you.  No matter what lemons you were given today, there are usually three things that you can say were good.  Another impactful way to feel gratitude is to first think of a person from your past who did something nice for you and you didn’t adequately thank them.  Take 5-10 minutes today and write them a letter, text, or Facebook message thanking them for helping you. Afterwards, notice how you feel. You may be pleasantly surprised.

    #2 Be Mindful. The word ‘mindfulness’ sometimes gets a bad rap.  Mindfulness is not meditation.  Meditation is one way that can lead us to mindfulness, but it’s only one way.  Mindfulness is being fully aware of what is happening in your life right now.  Mindfulness leads to awareness of how you are feeling, how others are feeling, and precedes action. When you are focused on what you see, hear, smell, and feel right now, your mind is not thinking about the past nor worried about the future.  Being fully present, in the here and now, is the key to feeling peace. Take three minutes right now and just note on a piece of paper or in your mind what you currently see (shapes, colors), what you hear (people talking, wind, birds), what you feel (feet on ground, shirt on shoulders, chest moving up and down).  Just observe the items, don’t judge them.  As you focus on your five senses at this moment, your mind will quite down.

    #3 Be Intentful. Ever feel like life passes you by? Does time escape from you? This happens to everyone. It can be discouraging to think I just wasted my time by…(lying in bed), (watching 6 episodes of the Big Bang Theory), fill in the blank.  Successful people achieve great things when they plan and do things intentionally.  We break bad habits by intentionally planning to do something different the next time.  We feel accomplishment by intentional completion of small tasks towards a bigger goal.  Take time now to plan a few things you will do differently tonight or tomorrow.  If you are working from home, intentionally plan to get up in the morning at the same time as you typical do on workdays, take a shower, and eat a healthy breakfast.  Your body and mind will thank you for intentionally planning to start the day off right, even if you are staying at home.  Progressive change does not happen without intently planning. Take care of your body and mind. COVID-19 will not last forever. Take this time to be grateful for what you have, be mindful of the things around you, and set the intent to make good change in your life.

  • Finding your Strength…on a Cloudy Day

    Finding your Strength…on a Cloudy Day

    Mom was right! Drinking milk does give you strong bones.  It’s not just about the calcium but the vitamin D in milk that strengthens your bones.  Doctors are finding that Vitamin D can help the body in many ways, such as lowering your risk for type 1 diabetes and some types of cancers.  But have you heard that not having a sufficient level of Vitamin D can affect your mood, concentration, and limit your brain power?  Living here in Utah during the winter months creates a disadvantage for you and chances are that you are not getting enough Vitamin D.

    Many of our clients notice having lower energy, feeling sluggish, or weak muscles during this time of year.  There is a link to low vitamin D levels to higher risk of sluggishness, weakness, and depression. Symptoms of depression can be overwhelming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, insomnia, problems concentrating, or thoughts of death or suicide. We have vitamin D receptors in every tissue of our body, which means vitamin D is needed at every level for your body to function well.  Vitamin D is also the only vitamin that is a hormone, it’s an essential nutrient for the brain.

    Drinking milk can be good for you, but it has never been enough for healthy bones and a good performing brain; the best way to get vitamin D is by being outside and absorbing some of those ‘feel good’ rays from the sun.  As you have noticed, we have had more cloudy days lately.  Most of us don’t have a sufficient vitamin D because we live in the northern hemisphere when it is ‘mostly cloudy’ during the winter months.  People who live in Hawaii, Arizona, and Florida still have reported insufficient Vitamin D; if they don’t get enough vitamin D from the sun, then we are really in trouble here in Utah.

    Want to be at the top of your game and more focused? Making sure you have enough vitamin D is body essential. We can get vitamin D from fatty fish, fish oils, eggs, or foods fortified by vitamin D, but 90% of our vitamin D usually comes from the sun. However, when the clouds cover the sky most of the day, we need to supplement our diet with more vitamin D.  The recommended dosage in a supplement is 1,000 IU a day.  Getting a supplement from the supermarket or Amazon.com may be a good step toward maintaining a healthier mind and body during the winter months.  Other ways to keep your body optimal is to exercise regularly, keep a regular sleep schedule, reach out to loved ones, and involve a doctor in your plan for better health.  If you are really concerned about your vitamin D levels, talk with your doctor, they can do a test to see if your vitamin D levels are sufficient.

    Are you good on your vitamin D levels and still need a little boost of focus or support for low mood? Give us a call at 801-855-7999 and see if neurofeedback training is the right fit for you. A little brain training is known to increase sharpness and focus and to decrease depression and anxiety.

  • What is Equine-Assisted Therapy?

    What is Equine-Assisted Therapy?

    Many of us have always known that we feel better and calmer when we are around nature or animals. And studies have consistently shown that there is indeed therapeutic value of human-animal interaction. So it’s no surprise that Equine Assisted Therapy has become an increasingly popular mental health treatment.

    Equine Assisted Therapy is a form of experiential therapy that includes horses and a specialist psychologist or counselor working together with a client to create positive behavioral outcomes and change. Growing evidence now supports the effectiveness of treatment with horses in a therapeutic environment. 

    Equine-assisted therapy can help clients of all ages who suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD, conduct disorders, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, spectrum and health difficulties, dissociative disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other mental health difficulties.

    How Does Equine Assisted Therapy Work?

    There are therapists that have been specifically trained in Equine Assisted Therapy in conjunction with traditional protocols. These therapists guide their clients through a series of activities including observing, handling, grooming, groundwork, and structured challenging exercises focused on the client’s goals and needs.

    Benefits of Equine Assisted Therapy

    A variety of psychotherapeutic benefits have been reported for Equine Assisted Therapy. Here are some of them:

    Builds Trust

    The first step in this treatment is to be able to trust the horse and the therapist, and eventually yourself. This trust-building has a profound effect on the client’s interpersonal relationships moving forward.

    Reduces Anxiety and Depression

    There has been a lot of research on the ability of human-animal interaction to significantly reduce psychological anxiety and depression.

    Increases Self-Esteem

    Everyone’s self-esteem gets a real boost when they challenge themselves to learn and master new skills. This is particularly true of children and adolescence. Equine Assisted Therapy has people trying new things and interacting in new ways in a non-competitive, non-judgmental environment, which leads to improved self-esteem and confidence.

    Mindfulness

    Equine Assisted Therapy integrates mindfulness in a big way. Throughout each session, clients are asked to be present, at the moment, calm, centered, and focused. This is because horses are incredibly sensitive and they pick up other’s emotions very quickly. To be around horses requires the ability to be calm and present.
