It takes real commitment to change old habits and familiar ways of looking at life. Our brains hardwire automatic responses, which we often experience as our personality. So often in sessions I hear people say, “That’s just the way I am,” or “I’m just an angry, anxious, or depressed person.” If you continue to convince yourself that this is who you are, how can you possibly change?

Life is hard... I get it. Nobody goes through life without facing difficult situations and needing to take action. But what do we usually do? Most often, we fall back on what’s familiar because, “This is the way you’re supposed to handle it.” But is it? When we question our beliefs and behaviors, and pay close attention to the outcomes of our actions, amazing change can take place if we are willing to see the faults in our approach.

There are many counseling approaches practiced in the field. Because of this, take the time to research which approach(es) the person provides. Next, ask yourself if their approach seems like something you will follow. The key is asking, before the first visit, what the person’s theory of healing is. Researching counselors can save you a lot of headaches.

I believe one of the benefits of running your own counseling center is the freedom to adjust your approach and emphasize what is the most effective way of obtaining the proper results you would like to see in the clients. One way I do this is by applying the approaches to myself.

If you are looking for a therapist, ask them, “How do we heal?” It is important to find out their theory of healing before you enter their counseling room. Unfortunately, this isn’t the question potential clients ask me; they want to know if their insurance will pay the bill.

I ask you to decide one of two things: to do it the cheap way or the proper way. And, in fact, the proper way can be cheaper in the long run.

Today, we honor the mothers, caregivers, and strong women who give so much of themselves every single day. While Mother’s Day is often filled with celebration, we also recognize that motherhood can come with stress, exhaustion, healing, sacrifice, and emotional challenges that are not always seen.

You deserve support just as much as those you care for. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Basic Steps Mental Health💜!

Our approach to Substance Treatment is different than 98% of the approaches out there because we focus on the core wounds underneath substance and mental health treatment. Ours is a program of empowerment, where people learn how to take charge of their innate power, and no, we are not powerless.

In 2017, I opened Basic Steps Mental Health, a clinic that assists people with mental health issues and issues with substance addiction. What we offer are individual sessions, group sessions, family sessions, an intensive outpatient program, and a partial hospitalization program, which is temporarily on hold. It is a big undertaking offering six hours of treatment five days a week, so we have focused on the others mentioned above. And, oh yeah, we also offer legal assessments.

Okay, so I am addicted. Do I have to claim that I am powerless and that a power greater than myself is going to restore me to sanity? Yeah, no. I’m not into that kind of language. However, for the past 10 days, I have been addicted to AI and just can’t stop.

I have been an author for over 20 years, mostly writing books about self-help or psychological stories that emphasize self-care. I thought my writing skills were pretty good, but I wondered if AI had something to say about that.
