We are programmed to be independent, tough, and smart. But asking for help does not negate any of those attributes, in fact, it can strengthen them. Setting aside our egos and reaching out to another for help is the smartest thing we can do. Not allowing depression and anxiety to rule your life will be the smartest thing you’ll ever do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1652665050769-O0EELNMD9IFWFPGD8KKA/Untitled+design+%2860%29.png BLOGS - How to Ask for Help? - At the end of the day just ask for help. You are only a failure when you stop trying. Asking for help in any capacity is better than trying to hold and deal by yourself when you are struggling. https://trevorroththerapy.com/blogs/why-live-for-today-1 monthly 0.5 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1644281578607-0PNTE9F3L338OCIC1QAQ/Untitled+design+%2852%29.png BLOGS - Why Live for Today? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1644281090924-MQOIM0Z7MG5K1QRXBI8T/Untitled+design+%2850%29.png BLOGS - Why Live for Today? - MEMORIES OVER MONEY I say this fully aware of the need for money in our lives in modern society. The emphasis of this phrase is to shift where we place value. If you only value money you will find yourself chasing the short term dopamine hit of a purchase, and not focus on your purpose. There is also the pitfall of debt, and when we find ourselves in debt that job you wanted to quit is no longer an option. Starting a business becomes too risky, and being able to focus on self care becomes a secondary thought. Memories created by yourself, with family/friends is what we carry with us throughout our lives. I hear in sessions fond memories of “an easier life”, and the center of that has always been memories with people we love and with little emphasis on money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1644281367088-3V4RJQVARJZJWVGY8MLB/Untitled+design+%2851%29.png BLOGS - Why Live for Today? https://trevorroththerapy.com/blogs/defining-our-trauma monthly 0.5 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1641258850470-IRW10Z0SF75IGU9MX6TS/Untitled+design+%2838%29.png BLOGS - Defining Our Trauma - The reality is that most of us carry some sort of trauma. Trauma for some becomes a defining moment in their lives. Its role on the subconscious can be a subtle as avoiding certain locations, or as detrimental as self-harm and substance abuse. Domestic violence, accidents, stories of others trauma, physical pain, unwanted sexual advances are all forms of trauma we may experience in ours lives. These traumas in some way or another shape our personality, our ability or inability to cope, crisis responses, our ability to let others love us and so on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1641258993240-1EADADSVY3NK35R7INMY/Untitled+design+%2839%29.png BLOGS - Defining Our Trauma - The need to properly identify traumas in our lives is to start the process of healing. This is because we need to face our past, understand how it has defined our life's path, and help set a course towards healing and becoming whole again. There is meaning in all of our lives events, and it is up to you to come to understand what that means to you, and how to go forward knowing that we can’t undo the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1641523807417-XTI0Q7MVP6MCC98V96C0/Untitled+design+%2841%29.png BLOGS - Defining Our Trauma https://trevorroththerapy.com/blogs/seasonal-affective-disorder monthly 0.5 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1637516170133-7UN0C5162HV5PN1QV7CD/Untitled+design+%2836%29.png BLOGS - Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1637516462884-PUD6ECQ9E08ZQ3R94A6P/Untitled+design+%2845%29.png BLOGS - Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1637516345809-VQMMSTGDUAHLOAUX6YRQ/Untitled+design+%2844%29.png BLOGS - Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1637516626936-XDYRT21WFD2MO4LGC9F7/Untitled+design+%2846%29.png BLOGS - Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1637515434621-EKX54LQ33NWP19HICZBN/Untitled+design+%2843%29.png BLOGS - Struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - PLAN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES Schedule positive activities during the day to get maximal sun exposure and light.

Journaling is a meditative action. The action can look different for each individual and that is ok. The action of journaling is a period of time where you center yourself, focus on your breathing, and get lost in the moment. Focus on your thoughts, and unload your mind at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1619359426259-A46346QJP7ZDB9MQE00M/Untitled+design+%285%29.png BLOGS - The Joys of Journaling - What do I write? Anything! Do not focus on what to write.

Some of the benefits of journaling when working with a Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT) practitioner can be that it reveals recurring themes, mental blocks you were unable to verbally express, and allow you to reframe trauma that you have been working through. This in general can reduce depressive symptoms, affords more control to the individual, reduces intrusive thoughts, and lessens one's overall anxiety. This reduction in anxiety can be a past event or a future event. I often have my clients journal around an upcoming event that is causing them anxiety. They write about what their initial thoughts are, worst and best case scenarios. https://trevorroththerapy.com/blogs/2rwfqsxnuh0wg2n5bwdbcvy6tmh5z6 monthly 0.5 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1618629429848-V7OKBLT7JB6B3OJQA2Q8/AdobeStock_251582065+%281%29.jpeg BLOGS - Mental Freedom: What is it and how do we get it? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1618630438339-W24XTNXX28I494EPD4T7/AdobeStock_251587308+%281%29.jpeg BLOGS - Mental Freedom: What is it and how do we get it? https://trevorroththerapy.com/blogs/blog-post-title-two-y256n-pw6ar monthly 0.5 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1614481702511-KAFWUH50CMZQWZB5I1J6/AdobeStock_209268783.jpeg BLOGS - 7 Signs of Caregiver Burnout According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey, approximately 31% of unpaid family caregivers have considered suicide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc32d77104edf1d778fd223/1614482434207-CUBD68EAOXPLJOM27WEH/AdobeStock_219247567.jpeg BLOGS - 7 Signs of Caregiver Burnout - Don’t suffer in silence.
