It's All in How We Interpret it: A brief discussion addressing how our perception affects our mental health.
Have you ever noticed how two people can have the same experience and have two totally different perceptions of the experience?

Anxiety: "Get me off this by-pass!"
In this episode, I'll talk a little about what's going on in our brain when we have high levels of anxiety. I'll also share a little about the by-pass metaphor and how it describes how we feel when we are ruminating or super anxious when we can't stop the negative thoughts. Lastly, I'll finish up with a 15ish minute body scan. This is one of the best tools to slow the brain down. Thanks for listening. May you find peace and good mental health.

Why Therapy Works

Keep in mind there are 100's, if not 1000's of theories and modalities that mental health clinicians apply in the therapeutic environment.
