When the heart opens, the imagination expands, the memory becomes more abstract, the mind grows, and one’s relationships acquire depth and complexity, this changes all relationships with all things. First, we identify who or what triggers your anxiety and/or depression. Are you living in isolation? Are you eating and sleeping properly? What is depression and what are the symptoms? Is it the time of year? The holidays? A recent loss? The end of something you thought would go on forever? A diagnosis of yourself or a loved one? Triggers are everywhere. Anger is another conversation; substance abuse is just different levels of numbing.
First, let's determine why you're here. Something hurts. Got it. Then, we can determine if you can ignore it, fix it, or manage it. And how? The intake, assessment, and diagnosis are the first steps. All else follows. It begins with your story. Most stories begin with a loss or disappointment.
Sometimes life gets overwhelming. We’re barely prepared for today and, as if without warning, it’s tomorrow. And we have to be in the moment. We must adapt and look at things differently—the new normal. Luckily, the heart is a resilient muscle, and the human spirit is ever-evolving—one day at a time. We’ll get through it. Your happy life is waiting.
