Timi RobinsonPublished 2 years ago in PsycheI Blame TikTok
I, like so many other twenty somethings, have fallen victim to the clock app. Doom scrolling for hours a day just to feel something, joining the Eddie cult, and saving an unmentionable amount of posts that would likely alarm my therapist with or without context. It didn't take long for the algorithm to start putting neurodivergent content on my for you page.
Olivia BarkerPublished 2 years ago in PsycheFinding my Mama in an MRI Machine
Today I participated in a brain injury research study conducted by a local health sciences university. Parts of it were fascinating (I experienced virtual reality for the first time) and other parts were exhausting (moving items around on a computer screen). But the best part, by far?
Catherine KenwellPublished 2 years ago in PsycheOn Reading "Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief"
This month’s book recommendation is a little different, a little more personal. I wanted to focus on one book that appeared at the time I think I needed it most. I recently returned to my office for the first time in two years. I keep books everywhere, so unsurprisingly there was a bunch waiting for me when I came back. Sitting on my desk, the first book at the top of the pile was Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief. I immediately put it in my tote bag to bring home.

I came to understand why I was so different from the kids I grew up with, why I always felt strange and alien even as I pretended I was "just like every other girl."
Brittany MillerPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWhy you feel sad out of the blue
Do you ever wonder why you're in a bad mood for no apparent reason? Feel your good moods begin to turn south out of the blue? Has forcing yourself to always be happy left you emotionally exhausted? A possible answer is that you are not properly regulating your emotions.
How I Help People With Anxiety
Anxiety today could be considered a universal experience. Nowadays it seems as though if you aren’t anxious, you are considered to be the exception rather than the rule. Anxiety has become such a huge part of our experience that it would be almost strange to think that it might not have as much power over our lives as it does.
Dustin WalkerPublished 2 years ago in PsychePillows, Comfort Objects, and the Elephant in the Room
At my last counseling session, I asked my counselor for a throw pillow perched on a chair. As she handed it over, she called it her "elephant in the room" pillow, so clients can acknowledge hard issues in their lives. The elephant pillow is one large blob with flappy ears and a stuffed trunk. It has soft fabric that's soothing to rub too.
Eileen DavisPublished 2 years ago in Psyche6 Mental Health Workplace Myths
When it comes to having a mental illness and having a job, there are, understandably, a lot of fears. There are also many different myths that we begin to believe as truths because, when you have a mental illness, the negative thoughts feel like the truth to us.
Richard BaileyPublished 2 years ago in PsycheCan Accepting The Truth of Childhood Trauma Lead to Forgiveness and Healing?
