Mental Health Today

                                           Why seek within yourself?                                                

Your mental health today is not a consequence of what happened this morning or last night, that's mood dear reader. It is determined by so much more: genetics, environment, childhood experiences, core memories, relationships with others, and self. That's not all though!

I have 5 years of experience in counseling and I have seen clients stuck at what happened when they were 9 which created their schema i.e. their perspective on life based on what they witnessed or endured at that time. You see, everything is connected and sometimes nothing is. It could be a plain neuro-chemical imbalance, I, however, recommend that take medication or any form of drug assistance as your last resort. 

Lifestyle changes improved eating patterns and self/social awareness are the key to your well-being. I agree, it's time taking, not as appealing to work on it while you're struggling already; I feel you. But what you see as tangled information begins to make sense when you are willing to achieve that freedom of self. 

It won't take a session or a day, it took years to get distorted, give yourself some time to walk on this journey to connect with yourself again. You need you, more than you need "the other". 

In peace,
