 Have you ever felt like you were struggling with your mental health and needed help, but certain beliefs stopped you from getting it? Maybe you felt guilty for thinking about spending time and money on yourself. Maybe it was shame for not being able to “push through”. It could be you didn’t want to ask for help in case people think you’re weak. Or maybe you wanted to try something new, but fear, doubt, and prejudice held you back. So these are just a few things that I believe you are allowed to do for your mental health.

 Most of us here can’t help but notice the abrupt change in seasons we experienced at the end of summer. Many people walked into my office feeling “off” – for some, this was a subtle feeling of strangeness, while for others, it was a more profoundly felt environmental grief. We’re a part of nature and so of course, it makes sense that we’re deeply impacted by it, emotionally and physically.
I was sent a beautiful article that touched on environmental grief that you can check out here. For this post, I’m going to focus on how we can cope with change of seasons more generally. |
