When things go wrong in life , we can get knocked off center, struggle to stay afloat, or lose our way. Sometimes we may feel we've moved on from life 's hardships, but negative patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting continue to reel us back again and again, making the present feel like an ongoing struggle. Our minds, bodies, and nervous systems hold onto the memories of distressing life events, even when we don't consciously think of them every day. We get stuck in anxiety and depression- symptoms of inadequately processed, stuck distress of our lives, both past and present.

I know that trying to cope with added pressures in life while working our way out of a pandemic and into inflation can create a lot of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The constraints of the current issues in our country and around us can feel lonely, strenuous, and persistent. What is often overlooked is the fear, guilt, loss, anger, and sadness associated with the changes it has brought to your life and those around you. Attending counseling can be an essential aspect of your healthcare strategy.
