Headed out for a couple days, it’s crunch time! Hoping all of you get to unplug for a bit this summer as well.

Swamped.

Hillary had the opportunity to weigh in on everyday traumatic experiences with the American Counseling Association in Counseling Today

Trauma doesn’t have to revolve around a large-scale, life-shattering event to have a profound and negative effect on clients’ mental health.

Staying educated in current issues and doing our own work regarding racism is important but doom scrolling isn’t the only way to stay informed.

Taking social media breaks and limiting media of all forms when you notice depressive cycles can help your mental health. Setting time limits for perusing the news and social media is a good start. Yes, this is a privilege, but can be crucial for those with mental health struggles.

When things get too big and overwhelming and you start to only see doom, bring your vision in—what’s going on in your community, what are your neighbors up to? How can you help brighten someone’s day or contribute to your community?

And maybe add some positive news to your media diet: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/category/news/world/

Checking your phone for an extra two hours every night won’t stop the apocalypse—but it could stop you from being psychologically prepared for it.
