What is Ketamine Therapy and How Does it Work?

Five Reminders When Coping with Grief

Grief is an unavoidable part of life. When we experience loss of any kind - whether it be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or moving through different phases of life - grief will inevitably show up in one way or another.

While we all experience our grief differently, it can often feel overwhelming, isolating, and make it difficult to participate in daily life. When you are grieving, it is important to be gentle with yourself as you process the loss and adjust to a new way of being.

Why Consider an OCD Recovery Support Group?

Why Consider an OCD Recovery Support Group?

If you are suffering from OCD, you’re likely a pro at masking your symptoms, making creative excuses to avoid things/people/situations, and white-knuckling through your triggers. Why?

The Intersection Between Trauma and Addiction

The Intersection Between Trauma and Addiction

For some, a traumatic experience could be the catalyst for professional help, while for others, the pain and intrusive disruption associated with a traumatic event can create a need to escape, avoid and numb. In these instances, drugs and alcohol provide a very convenient means to “cope” with the emotional pain the sufferer is experiencing.

However, the irony in this cycle is that rather than working to heal, repair and move forward, the individual that turns to drugs and alcohol to cope is merely prolonging the agony of what the trauma created by avoiding, compartmentalizing and checking out.
