Lost In Circles, Need An Exit

Sure thing! Just focus on you for a bit-self-love and self-care are key. Maybe try some exercises or meditate. Mental health matters big time.

Oh right, I mentioned meditation before didn't I? Sorry about that-guess I zoned out a bit there. Anyways, you asked about the exercise, and it's just something simple, like maybbe starting with some basic stretches or breathing techniques. My agoraphobia can really sneak up on me and give me those panci attacks.

Hi,

Can you identify any triggers that lead to negative thoughts and emotions? Would you like to share more about your experiences? Are there any memories that bring pleasure and feelings of gratitude?

Have you heard about the principles of positive psychology and resilience training? I wrok with many people who struggle with unproductive thought patterns, helping them challenge unrealistic and unfair beliefs. I have personal experience with these issues for several decades and can offer effective strategies to move past them.

Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if you'd like to hear more about my own journey.

I am aware of my triggers; few memories evoke feelings of pleasure or gratitude. I am familiar with positive psychology and resilience training as well. Your experiences have piqued my interest, so please feel free to share them.

Late here, sending more details tomorrow. My mentor at UPenn, Dr. Karen Reivich, teaches about thinking traps in her 2003 book, The Resilience Factor. Taking her online course now, finishing in December. Her stuff is life-changing for mental health. Thanks, hope you rest well

I had some bad dreams again tonight and i'm a bit cautious about onlie courses because i feel like i got taken advantage of before. i'll chat with you all later, have a good night!

Sleep for dreams? That's what worries me.

Use somatic therapy and psychodynamic approach. Somatic focuses on the body, psychodynamic explores childhood trauma

did it lol

Honestly, maybe think about getting a full-body checkup, you know? - just an idea though

did it and got the blood work done

consider going on a journey 4 u 2 figure urself out lol no therapy or society pressure just do what makes u happy & gives u that feeling of accomplishment

Hey, are you into reading at all? I just picked up "The Body Keeps the Score," which someone recommended recently, and I've barely started but am already super intrigued because they said there were some new wasy to tackle trauma healing. Plus, it's available as a PDF if that's your thing-haven't read much yet, but honestly, I'm hooked

read them all, not buyin anything anymore

Free PDF. Save it.

Got my hands on the boook already-yay, me!

I get you-I've been down this road before trying every trick in the book to beat depression, and nothing sticks. Plus, agoraphobia throws a wrench into things. I've forced myself out of the house a few times but it's like fighting a losing battle with anxiety the whole way. At this point, I'm not sure what else to try, tho talking to folks who've had similar struggles can be a lifesaver-finding those people is another story altogether.

Sure, let's talk if you want.

I am willing to continue the conversation; I am always available.
