Why does wanting to do your best become feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough?

Perfectionism can show up in ways we don't always recognize. From constantly second-guessing yourself to setting impossible standards to not even starting something if you think you can't do it perfectly.

Lauren's latest blog takes a closer look at perfectionism, where it comes from, and how we can begin to loosen its grip.

If "good enough" never quite feels good enough, this one might be for you: https://mwrcounseling.com/perfectionism-and-anxiety-moving-from-self-criticism-to-self-compassion/

It's just been a few weeks since Natalie trained in EMDR, and now this weekend Isaac is joining in too!

EMDR is one of several approaches our team uses to support people working through PTSD and the effects of trauma, alongside other trauma-focused therapies and services.

If you've been looking for help with trauma, PTSD, or memories that still feel difficult to move past, Isaac has availability beginning next week.

The extra hour of sleep over the weekend? Pretty nice.

The darkness setting in before we've even thought about what to make for dinner? Not so much.

While the darkness in the evenings can have an impact, did you know that it's actually lack of early morning light that is a greater contributor to SAD symptoms? So, the end of daylight savings time and return to standard time is ultimately the best option for our well-being this time of year. Unfortunately, later sunrises and earlier sunsets means that we experience increased darkness at both ends of the day, and that can have a significant impact on your mood and functioning!

SAD season is here, but there's a lot you can do to get through it!

Local businesses coming together to help! ❤️

MWR Counseling is kicking off our donation drive for our annual Day of Giving, and we'd love for our community to part of it!

This year we're collecting socks, underwear, hats, and gloves in all sizes to support Families Helping Families of Iowa, and organization dedicated to supporting children in foster care and the caregivers who selflessly open their hearts and homes to them.

We're incredibly grateful to have so many local businesses joining us in this effort! You can bring your donations to any of these participating businesses:

The Pines Pizza and Pub
ProActive Pediatric Therapy
AirFX Trampoline Park
Riggs Towing & Recovery
StudioU Photography
Physicians' Clinic of Iowa P.C.
Twenty40 Companies
RAYGUN
Eastern Iowa Psychiatric Services PC
Emerald Salon and Suites
The Pedaler's Fork

A huge THANK YOU to each of these businesses for opening their doors, setting up donation boxes, and helping make this drive possible. We are blown away by the support!

To everyone in our community, if you are able to contribute we'd love your help! A little from each of us can add up to something meaningful for the kids and families who need it.

Whether it's a pair of warm socks, a new hat, or gloves to keep little hands warm, every donation can make a difference for a family! Donations of hats and gloves should be new or gently used, clean, and ready to wear. Donations of socks and underwear should be new.

Thank you all for joining us in coming together and spreading some love around ahead of the cold weather!
