If you are looking for addiction or OCD support, we have a lovely new therapist option for you!

Addiction, OCD and anxiety are three of our most commonly sought out areas when people are approaching us for mental health support.

Gemma brings a multifaceted therapeutic approach to these issues, allowing her to meet you where you are at and provide the support that you need.

Thank you for this great post on rumination. It explores why rumination can show up, how it gets louder, and ways to start to quiet it.

Rumination can be connected to mental health diagnoses and can also come up for people from time to time depending on where they’re at and what’s going on.

If you are struggling with rumination, please know that there is hope and it will change. No emotional or cognitive state is permanent.

Ever wondered when it might be appropriate to seek out therapy? Here are a few ideas from experienced therapists who, every day, see people come in at varying stages of the process.

It’s OK to come in when things don’t feel that bad but you would like some additional support and someone to talk to.

It is also OK to wait until it feels like things are burning to the ground to seek help, though the climb back up can feel longer and harder at that point in time.

The great thing about therapists is that we aim to be empathetic, non-judgmental and meet you wherever you are at.

Save this post for your next overwhelming moment.

Our therapists have put together their top suggestions for strategies that help people, cope, and navigate through moments of big feelings.

Remember that when feelings are scary and overwhelming, they don’t have to be. The emotion is not the issue, it is how we respond and cope with it that can make a big difference.

For a more comprehensive breakdown of these and other tools to support you during moments of big feeling, please visit the link in our bio to read our latest blog posts.

There’s a lot of buzz in the mental health field about if and how AI platforms like ChatGPT can be used as a complement or replacement for therapy.

I’ve personally seen AI tools be quite helpful for people as an extension of self-help strategies and information. It can also be helpful for those late night mental ruminations, or questions that you may have about who you are and what you are doing.

I have not seen AI tools be as helpful for allowing people to really explore, unearth, and challenge some of their deeper rooted patterns as AI seems to have a people pleasing bias where it validates what you were thinking without being able to take into consideration, broader patterns, or other information, including nonverbal, that real humans have access to.

I’m curious to open up some respectful discussion about the value and the limitations that these tools offer whether to use an individual or to your clients if you are a fellow therapist. Drop your thoughts in the comments below.

We like to keep busy over here at Sana Psychological figuring out ways that we can bring quality mental health and addiction recovery information to you without it always needing to happen in the therapy space (though we love doing that too!).

Most people have the best of intentions when someone comes to them in a moment of vulnerability and opens up to them about a challenge that they’ve been having.

However, certain responses may not come across in the way that you intended, and, in fact, may end up pushing that person away or leaving them feel like they’re not getting the support that they wanted or needed from you.

Here is a general cheat sheet video on ways to approach tough conversations that will have an air of authenticity and support to them, as well as the types of statements and conversations to try and steer clear of so that your best of intentions aren’t misinterpreted.

Our recent blog post was about self injury, a topic that is more personal and common than you would think but one that continues to be quite misunderstood.

In our latest newsletter, I shared a story about a girl I went to school with in junior high who had lots of evidence of self injury. I shared my experience of not doing anything at the time and the feelings that I had (and still have) about that today.

That doesn’t have to be you. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, there is gentle action that you can take to support. It may not feel like it changes anything because it might not shift things immediately, but any action can end up being a helpful intervention.

I’m scared even making this post because…

Then it’ll be real.

And…

What if I messed up the tech?

What if doesn’t work?

What if people don’t like it?

I think I’m going to go listen to Episode 1 of the Sana Psychological podcast: Do It Scared. It could be helpful with this fear!

Who’s going to join me and take a listen?

Our episode is (hopefully) up on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for your listening pleasure.

Follow and subscribe on those platforms for new episode notifications. New releases every Tuesday!

I thought I would jump on this trend in my area of specialty, which is addiction recovery. It felt like there was so much I could’ve said that it was hard to narrow it down!

Here’s what I settled on, which I believe are some core truths of recovery.

Anything you would add?

Wow. Time for reflection…

I thought about how it would feel to reach certain numbers of followers when I started an IG business account in 2019 or so. (Yes, it has taken that long to get to 5k!). No virals or quick jumps over here. We’ve worked hard with networking, engagement, and content creation to get here and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Working slow and hard to get something feels more rewarding than quick accomplishments.

I hope it also means that most of you are legit people and not bots.

I’m grateful for this community. I’m not a huge fan of social media, tbh, but I’ve met some amazing connections on here, some of whom have translated into real life connections and friendships.

Thank you all for being in our IG community.

I’m excited for the next years ahead!
