Stop The Stigma 

THE TRUTH ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

Through out a lifetime, one will experience periods of mental/emotional, physical or spiritual discomfort/stress, pain or illness. 

  • Positive and negative stressors/changes effect our mind and body. The extent in which these changes effect each person varies and depends on biological/genetic pre-disposition, environmental, personal, and/or life situation/circumstance.  

  • It is difficult to predict the changes that will occur during one’s personal life journey.  The life altering event(s) and/or illness(es) might be endured short-term, last for years, or throughout a lifetime.  The frequency/amount of time and severity to which we experience this change(s) are also important factors in the equation.  

 

TAKING CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

How a person responds to life experiences and stressors is vital to one's mental health.   How a person thinks, feels, and reacts to them is crucial.  There are times when we are faced with struggle(s) and no matter how much you think about it and attempt to resolve it on your own or tell loved ones about it for advice, you still aren’t feeling alleviated of it.  If one has taken the time to search for a therapist and is reading this page, it is a healthy realization to seek professional help.    These steps require strength, take courage, show intelligence and a self-awareness that the issue needs professional assistance.  The next critical step is making contact, so an initial therapy meeting can be established.
