Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will take a look at Conversion disorder:

Conversion disorder is when a person has nervous system-like symptoms, such as seizures, difficulty walking, tremors or weakness that are real but not caused by a clearly defined medical disease.

Therapy helps an individual with CD by helping to connect stress, trauma and symptoms in a safe, nonjudgmental way. Grounding, calming and stress management skills are often taught alongside supporting daily functioning and reducing fear of symptoms.

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, feel free to reach out to our group for support!

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will take a look at Illness anxiety disorder.

IAD is when a person has great fear about getting or having a serious illness, even when medical tests do not show a major problem.

Therapy can help an individual with this issue by challenging “what if” thoughts about illness, how to handle worries without constant checking and building tolerance for uncertainty.

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will begin our look at Somatic symptom and Related Disorders. We will start with somatic symptom disorder.

SSD is when an individual experiences distressing physical symptoms like pain, fatigue or gut health issues, while spending a lot of time worrying about these problems. This worrying will affect their ability to function in one or more areas of life.

Therapy helps a person reduce panic, worry and other distressing emotional reactions to the physical symptoms. Often this helps reduce the physical pain. Coping skills like stress management, pain management and dealing with uncertainty are taught.

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will continue our look at a Dissociative Disorders by considering Depersonalization/derealization disorder.

This disorder is when one feels detached from his or her own body, thoughts or surroundings. It is sometimes described as floating above one’s body, viewing yourself in the third person, or moving through the world in a dream-like or foggy state.

Therapists often teach grounding skills (sensory, somatic) to help those suffering from this disorder to connect with the here and now. Once coping skills are established, the likely cause of symptoms (a stressful or traumatic event) is explored.

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will continue our look at a Dissociative Disorders by considering Dissociative amnesia:

Dissociative amnesia is when a person suddenly forgets important personal information, often related to traumatic events. These forgetful periods can last minutes to years.

Therapy can help here by gently beginning to explore the stressful memories, exploring ways to cope with anxiety upon remembering, and integrating these memories into the overall life narrative to create a more cohesive sense of self.

Research shows that getting out into green spaces improves your mood, sharpens attention and reduces stress. Give yourself the gift of getting outside and grounding yourself whenever possible. Especially on days like today!

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will look at a new set of mental health issues - Dissociative Disorders. We will begin with a brief look at Dissociative Identity Disorder:

DID is when a person has two or more distinct personalities that they “switch” between, causing disruption in sense of self and control of self. There are often memory gaps between these various states. Early childhood trauma may be a possible contributing factor to developing DID. These personality states are not better explained by drug and alcohol abuse and are not a normal part of broadly accepted religious or cultural practice.

Therapy can help here by first establishing trust with a therapist who can then help to understand, explore and eventually assist in integrating these personality states to create a more cohesive whole or sense of self.

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will continue our look at Personality Disorders with a look at Avoidant personality disorder.

Avoidant Personality Disorder is characterized by a deeply seated fear of rejection, criticism or embarrassment that often leads to individuals avoiding social situations. Those with APD will often desire strong connections with others, however they feel “not good enough” and expect judgement. This can look similar to social anxiety, but it will present itself as a long-lasting personality style rather than an ebbing and flowing anxious state.

Psychotherapy can help individuals with APD learn how to test out social experiences in small, manageable and safe steps. The therapist’s role in helping those with APD is to challenge harsh self-criticism (“No one will like me”, “I will never be good enough for them”) by building compassion, assertiveness and safely making oneself vulnerable.

Good evening - Welcome back to our series of educational posts about mental health!

Each Thursday you will find tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help. Tonight we will continue our look at Personality Disorders with a look at Narcissistic personality disorder.

Individuals with this disorder will generally show a pattern of needing others to like them, to feel special, to feel superior and have difficulty seeing others’ needs. They may appear confident on the surface, however they often feel very fragile underneath and will react strongly to criticism. Relationships are often strained due to this as the other will feel used, judged and unseen.

Therapy can help individuals with NPD by spending time exploring and educating on empathy, building self-esteem to not rely on others' praise and working through rigid beliefs that they are "above" others.
