THREE THINGS TO AVOID IF YOU HAVE DEPRESSION

1. Isolation:

Reason: Social withdrawal can intensify feelings of loneliness and despair.

Alternative: Stay connected with friends, family, or support groups, even if it's through brief interactions.

2. Alcohol and Drugs:

Reason: Substance use can exacerbate and even cause depressive symptoms. They also interfere with medications.

Alternative: Seek healthier coping mechanisms like exercise, hobbies, or therapy. (Exercise has been proven to work better than any antidepressant)

3. Procrastination:

Reason: Avoiding tasks can lead to a buildup of responsibilities, increasing stress and feelings of overwhelm.

Alternative: Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps and create a routine to maintain productivity.

🌟 Happy Feature Friday! 🌟 Today, I wanted to share a bit about my inspiration behind working with men and how I’ve been deeply influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung and the exploration of archetypal patterns.

For me, delving into the realm of male psychology has been a fascinating journey. I’ve found that understanding the complexities of anger and how it manifests in men has been both eye-opening and deeply rewarding. Drawing from Jung’s work on archetypes, I’ve come to see how those who grapple with anger often embody certain archetypal patterns, and unraveling these patterns has been a pivotal part of my approach.

By tapping into these archetypes, I strive to guide men towards a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, ultimately helping them navigate their anger in a more conscious and constructive way. It’s incredibly empowering to witness the transformation that unfolds when individuals begin to untangle the threads of their anger and reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.

I’m truly grateful for the wisdom of Jung and the profound insight it has brought to my work. Here’s to embracing the journey of self-discovery and growth, one archetype at a time! 🌿

I hope everyone has one of these. This man has been in my life for 20+ years. We met at our second duty assignment; Osan South Korea. We’ve been inseparable since. He’s known my kids and family just as long. The things we’ve been through and supported one another through is monumental. The things that sets this man apart from all others in my life is how he showed up for me when my son died. He was at the airport to pick up me, my wife, my daughter(s), and my mom(s). I hope everyone gets their very own Mo one day. This one is mine (and my family’s). I hope you’re loved by a man so near and dear you. Happy bday, you big lug. I love you!

Good afternoon, Friends! 🌟 This Feature Friday, let’s dive into the heart of my work—creating meaningful contact between two incredible souls. 💑💖

With a practice deeply rooted in Gestalt principles, creating contact goes beyond mere connection—it’s about the dance of energies, the art of truly seeing and being seen. 👁️✨ Imagine two people coming together in physical proximity and a shared moment of genuine presence. This is contact.

Creating contact involves pushing through the nuances of emotions, acknowledging the unspoken, and embracing the courage of vulnerability. 🌈💬 Personal awareness is about being fully present, engaging in open dialogue, and fostering an environment where authenticity flourishes.

In the magic of these moments, individuals discover a profound sense of understanding and connection. 🌟 Whether it’s a shared glance, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple gesture, the essence lies in the richness of the human experience.
As we celebrate Feature Friday, let’s cherish the power of creating contact—bridging the gaps, fostering genuine connections, and nurturing the beauty of human interaction. 🚀💙 Here’s to the art of being present and the magic that unfolds when two souls truly connect. 🥂✨
