Eating Disorders: Connection and Community
Q: What do you find makes a group so powerful when it comes to recovering from an eating disorder?
Groups can help reduce feelings of shame and self-criticism, provide hope, and allow individuals to share their experiences, leading to increased self-esteem and identity shifts from having an eating disorder to recovering from one.
Anxiety Unpacked: What's Really Going On Beneath the Surface
Q: What are some of the biggest misconceptions that people might have about anxiety?
The biggest misconception is that anxiety is all bad and can be eliminated completely, rather than managed.
Anxiety Unpacked: What's Really Going On Beneath the Surface
Q: Are there any common triggers or contributing factors you see frequently in your work that contribute to anxiety?
Common triggers include work stress, family stress, relationship breakdowns, and unique individual experiences and stressors.
Anxiety Unpacked: What's Really Going On Beneath the Surface
Q: How can someone tell the difference between normal, everyday stress and anxiety that requires a little bit more work or support?

Understanding Grief: The Role of Compassion in Healing
Q: When should someone seek support if their grief is moving beyond a certain level?
