Counseling: Mental Fitness
The Office of Wendie Lubinsky, Ph.D.
Are you having trouble coping and managing during these stressful times? Is decision-making or self-control hard skills? Are you able to stay positive? Or are you overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated with your life and the environment around you? I specialize in helping clients learn effective coping skills to manage systemic issues such as eating disorders, marital and family challenges, life changes, anxiety, depression, and many more. You’re not alone if you feel like your eating habits are out of control, you desperately need a break, or you feel like you’re on a never-ending merry-go-round and just want off.
If you aren’t learning from your past and loathe the thought of the next stressful situation, then you haven’t gathered enough tools from your experiences to help you on your journey through life. Stress is a part of life, so is sadness, anger, anxiety, pain, love, joy, happiness, etc. So if this is what we should expect, then we need to learn how to manage ourselves so we don’t fall to pieces the next time life gets tough.
Some topics we could discuss:
- Did you know being tired is tied to mental health and physiology? If you are stressed, depressed, anxious, fearful, etc., that can prevent you from getting a good night’s rest. Did you know that proper diet and exercise can not only allow you to sleep better, but nutrition and fitness can improve mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety, and make you less depressed?
- Do you wonder why you feel anxious all the time? Sometimes, trauma from the past rears its ugly head at the worst time. If trauma isn’t managed during the time of crisis, then it gets pushed into our unconscious and rises to the surface when we want it the least. We have all experienced trauma, but we have not all coped with the lasting effects on our self-identity. You don’t have to be defined by your past experiences. Let your experiences be a learning opportunity but not define who you are or will always be.
- Is your marriage failing and you don’t know what to do? Effective communication is the tool to a lasting relationship. Sometimes our microexpressions or our “music” is off when we talk to our spouse and we aren’t aware of it because we are stressed or have something else on our mind. But your spouse feels it and can be hurt or resentful of your words or how you said it. Effective communication combines the intended message with verbal and nonverbal language. Perception is everything!
