When you are in the midst of a crisis, it can be tough to take stock of your own emotions. You may tell yourself that you need to keep pushing through each and every day.

Unless you’re an essential worker, you’ve likely spent the past few months feeling rather isolated. Staying indoors to protect yourself from contracting COVID-19 may have been hard on your mental and physical health.

If you have ever experienced trauma, you may feel angry when you remember everything you went through. Sometimes, you might notice that it doesn’t take much to set off your anger. Or you may find yourself getting angry for seemingly no reason at all.

Throughout our lives, we will face challenges. And sometimes, a challenge can turn into a full-blown crisis. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one or found yourself unemployed.

In the midst of a crisis, it may feel natural to do whatever you can to survive it. You may choose to take steps to ride it out without prioritizing the aftermath.

Justifiably, there is a fair amount of speculation that the Covid-19 pandemic could eventually lead to an increase in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

For many people, their concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic go beyond the virus itself. Some are concerned about their income. Others are stressed about rescheduling major events and special occasions

Right now, many of us are trying to adjust to a “new normal” defined by the unexpected pandemic. You might be trying to juggle all of your responsibilities while navigating the new restrictions for the sake of public health.

For people who struggle with chronic pain, figuring out what is causing their pain can be a frustrating journey. Sometimes, the root of the issue is obvious, but other times, even doctors have a hard time helping their patients pinpoint why they are dealing with chronic pain.

Although many people think of hypnosis as a carnival trick, hypnotherapy is actually a practice that many therapists use with their patients to great success.

Have you ever seen a hypnotist in action? Perhaps you have been hypnotized before as part of a stage show. Or maybe you saw one of your friends get hypnotized.

If you have ever dealt with mental health conditions like depression or anxiety, you might have been able to pinpoint the moment when your symptoms developed and determine which events in your life might have set it off.

We all face challenges and obstacles in life. One day, you might feel like you’re on a journey, taking steps towards a goal you’ve always wanted to achieve. Then suddenly, something goes wrong.

When we are unhappy, we may wonder who is to blame. Perhaps the fault lies with a demanding boss, an unfriendly coworker, or a relative who doesn’t respect boundaries.

Most of us can think of at least one aspect of our lives that we would like to change. Perhaps you wish you exercised more often, or that ate a healthier diet. Maybe you keep telling yourself that you’re going to go back to school or start applying for new jobs.

Do you ever feel lost? Perhaps you have moments when you look back on your life and wonder what happened to the person you used to be. Maybe years ago, you felt carefree, secure, and happy. As time went by, you lost a part of your authentic self, and you’re just not sure how to get it back

If a close friend or relative is dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event, you might be feeling helpless. You wish you understood how you could ease their pain. You know that they are suffering.

After experiencing trauma, it’s normal to deal with the lingering effects. You may struggle with feelings of anxiety or symptoms of depression, or lose interest in some of your favorite activities.
