Talk to a therapist: A grain of truth in the myth of Blue Monday.

Although Dr. Cliff Arnall’s original claim, that the 3rd Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year, at least for people in the Northern Hemisphere who experience a mood drop following winter holidays.

While a calculation of a calendar date this specific has been debunked, there is some genuine truth to the notion that many people do experience something like the Blue Monday phenomenon, regardless.

If this is you, you’re invited to talk to a therapist! Protea Wellness has openings right now, so email intakes@proteawellness.org to get matched up with a therapist.

As we reflect on our new year, already underway, we hold space for the strange dialectic of a delicate, hopeful optimism for a fresh start, contrasted with the likelihood of existential dread, almost certainly intensified by grim national and world news.

Protea Wellness is sending this gentle reminder to take comfort in knowing that the push for a more ethical world is not a sprint. Every marathoner needs to take breaks, and it’s okay if the only life you save is your own.

Take care of yourself! Evidence-based DBT teaches the importance of taking care of our bodies while making the intentional effort to find joy and empowerment in daily life.

We’re cheering for you!

Alt text: Sending our love and respect to everyone impacted by the flooding!

Many areas in our beloved Pacific Northwest were hit by a 100-year flood this week. Some of our employees and clients are among those impacted. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, whether we know you or not!

Whether your role in flood recovery is to receive help, give help, or just stay where it’s safe, we see you and we love you.

Alt text: How Was Thanksgiving?

The Thanksgiving holiday is a complicated one. Not only does it have a troubling history, but it can also be a day spent feasting, often with family or for “Friendsgiving” celebrations.

Sometimes, it can be a welcome excuse to see loved ones! But it can also be an emotionally fatiguing gauntlet spent interacting with people, often relatives, who pick on our politics and identities.

No matter how this year’s Thanksgiving went for you, we invite you to talk about it in therapy! If you’d like to be matched up with a Protea therapist, just email us at intakes@proteawellness.org.
