    4 Steps to Process Negative Emotions

    February 26, 2018

    For the majority of my life, I’ve been a heavy self-criticizer. I’m sure many people out there are the same way. When I would feel negative emotions, I would direct them toward myself and berate myself endlessly. It never made sense to me – why would I ever be worthy enough to feel any of…

    Challenging cognitive distortions – a guide for students

    February 19, 2018

    Two weeks ago, we explored 11 cognitive distortions that are commonly seen in students. The aim there was to learn to recognize and identify them when they arise in our everyday lives.

I absolutely love my program, but I have heard oh so often from my mental health professionals that it is a breeding ground for mental health issues. I attribute it to the fact…

    Creating a Crisis Plan

    July 7, 2017

    May 5, 2017

    Nico, you’ve been sitting here watching Netflix for the last 2 hours. What are you doing? You think this is accomplishing anything? You’re wasting time. You’re not gonna get this time back. How are you ever going to be successful when you’re this lazy? When our thoughts become this muddled by our core beliefs, it…

    5 Intervention Points for Mental Health

    April 20, 2017

    In my previous post regarding why people go “over the edge” and act impulsively/internalize suicidal tendencies, I explained a theoretical model that my psychiatrist presented to me while I was an inpatient at a local hospital. To summarize: Everyone has a different ‘baseline’ level of distress. There are generally two ways in which someone can…

Life is unpredictable, It changes with the seasons Life is unpredictable,
It changes with the seasons,
Even your coldest winter,
Happens for the best of reasons,
And though it feels eternal,
Like all you’ll ever do is freeze,
I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves.
~ e.h (not my poem)

This has been a comfort to me in this turbulent period of my life. I keep this near me as a reminder that spring is coming, no matter what. 🌸
