Suicide, Prevention & Thoughts of A Therapist Who Sits Closely To Those Who Suffer
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Suicide is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I lost my best friend many years ago to suicide.
For many years after that I wondered… How could I have failed her so badly? How could we not get her the help she needed before she spiraled into the depths of despair? Why weren’t the safeguards we had in place enough? So many questions…
The guilt, the shame, the gut-wrenching grief… how could this have been avoided? These thoughts spiraled in my head for many years. I know I am not alone in these feelings. In fact, survivors’ guilt is a real thing that can really knock a person into their own spiral of excruciating pain. If you have lost a loved one to suicide, know that you are not alone, and it is not your fault.
How to stay married AND be happy about it
We all want the fairy tale wedding and the happily ever after that we were promised as children but how do we get it? There are the expectations that if we marry the right person, things will be easy and life will be wonderful. But what happens after the honeymoon, when we have children, illness or anything that life throws at us? We must be willing to put in the work to have a happy and lasting marriage. It may look like everyone else is living in bliss, while we are barely speaking to one another, most of the time this is not the case.
Social Media, Teens & Mental Health
Social media has become part of our culture and in many cases, the only inlet people have into a social life. For most families, it is also a source of many power struggles in the home.
