In a few days, the world will be ringing in the New Year. But as crowds cheer and fireworks explode and light up the sky, there are those who will be quietly flinching, struggling to hold themselves together.

Fireworks are beautiful to behold, but they can bring distress and fear to people with PTSD, particularly war veterans and those who have been exposed to gun violence. The sights, loud noise, and even the odor of fireworks can evoke a sense of danger, leading to panic and emotional distress.

If someone you care about has PTSD, here are ways you can offer support, along with gentle words that can help:

✅ Find out what they need. A simple, “Is there anything I can do for you?” shows respect and gives them control.
✅ Ask grounding questions: Questions like where they are, what day it is, and what is happening right now can help bring their focus back to the present.
✅Have them recite something familiar: Mentally or quietly reciting a poem, a song lyric, or a positive affirmation like, "I am safe right now" or "This will pass" gives the brain something stable to focus on, interrupting the panic response and helping the mind remember that the danger is not real.
✅ Offer words of reassurance: Words such as “I am here with you” or “I’m not leaving” can be incredibly comforting during moments of fear. Your steady presence can make a frightening situation feel more manageable.

If you think the person needs professional support in managing their condition, encourage them to come see us here at Balanced Mental Health of Arizona. We take a compassionate, holistic approach to treating PTSD, empowering patients to effectively cope with their triggers and ultimately regain their sense of control over their lives.

The holidays are often portrayed as blissful or magical, but for many, they're anything but. The never-ending to-dos, constant planning, and pressure to buy gifts and host or attend gatherings can push even the toughest ones to burnout, no matter how much they prepare or how excited they are in the beginning.

If this sounds like you, here's how you can pace yourself and protect your well-being this holiday season:

1️⃣ Make a realistic to-do list: Prioritize what truly needs to be done instead of trying to do everything at once.
2️⃣Set boundaries: Saying NO ensures your relationships remain positive under stress.
3️⃣Avoid comparing yourself to others: Comparison steals joy, so focus on what matters to you.
4️⃣Prioritize sleep and nutrition: Stress is somehow easier to handle when you’re well-rested and well-nourished.
5️⃣Take a daily ME time: Even a few quiet moments alone can help you reestablish balance and restore your energy.
6️⃣Set a spending limit: Overspending can create stress that lingers long after the holidays are over.
7️⃣ Practice digital detox: Stepping away from emails, texts, and social media for a few hours every day gives you enough breathing room.

Prioritizing your well-being is your key to enjoying the season to the fullest, so be kind to yourself and let go of the desire to please everyone.

Thanksgiving is a few days away. 🍂With that in mind, let’s talk about gratitude.

Did you know that it is a powerful catalyst for happiness?

This Thanksgiving, we encourage you to stop and smell the roses and ask yourself: What little thing got you through tough days this year that you’re most thankful for?

Gratitude doesn’t have to be grand. It’s often the small, mundane things that give us the strength to keep moving forward. Take a moment to honor the resilience it took to get here—and if you’d like, share what you’re most grateful for in the comments below. 👇

🌓 Do you tend to feel as though things are either a total success or a complete failure and there’s no such thing as “in between?” That’s polarized thinking (also known as all-or-nothing thinking)—a negative automatic thinking pattern that can affect your mood and distort your perception of reality.

Our experts can help you break free from this “black-and-white trap” and find balance in the gray.

Call us now to schedule an appointment with one of our experts: (623) 349-1711.
