Did you know that stress and anxiety can physically change the way your brain processes information? Chronic stress affects the hippocampus, which is the part of your brain responsible for memory and learning. If you’ve been feeling forgetful, foggy, or like you just can't think straight, your body is reacting to the weight of what you’re carrying.

Do you ever feel the "Sunday Scaries" at the end of your weekend? They're often your body’s way of signaling underlying anxiety or apathy that you know you'll experience in the coming week. If your late-night anxiety is keeping you from resting, it might be time to look at the root cause. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through every Monday morning.

One of the kinds of therapy that we use here at Inner Balance is ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Instead of fighting against your difficult thoughts, ACT teaches you to accept them as just thoughts and commit to actions that align with your values. You can have uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and still live a life that matters to you.

Sometimes, simply witnessing or hearing about someone else’s trauma can take a significant toll on your own wellbeing. It's called secondary trauma, and it's common in certain jobs like EMTs, police, If you are a caregiver, first responder, or a supportive friend feeling overwhelmed by another's pain, your feelings are valid.
