Trying Boundaries Out for a Change
Trying Boundaries Out for a Change
In our Family Recovery Coaching work, the topic of boundaries gets the most airtime by a long shot. Merriam-Webster defines the word boundary as: something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent. Sounds straightforward enough unless you or someone in your family suffers from the illness of addiction where “one is too many and a thousand is not enough.” From this very dichotomy, crazy-making…

Seasonal Affective Disorder, commonly known as SAD , is a type of major depression that has a seasonal pattern. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms or have been diagnosed with SAD, here are a few ways it can be treated. SAD is generally treated with: * Phototherapy: Bright light therapy, using a special lamp, can treat SAD. * Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): A type of talk therapy called CBT can also effectively treat SAD. Research has shown that CBT produces the longest-lasting effects of any treatment approach. * Antidepressant medication: Sometimes, providers recommend medication for depression, either alone or with light therapy. * Spending time outdoors: Getting more sunlight can help improve symptoms. Try to get out during the day. Also increase the amount of sunlight that enters your home or office. * Vitamin D: A vitamin D supplement may help improve symptoms. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLJ7-rDuJ8/?igshid=vz64a1jcevdw
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

From the moment kids are born, we worry if we’re screwing them up, or screwing their heads on tight. When they make good choices we feel proud. When their decisions fall short of expectations, we feel disappointed. And maybe worst of all, when they’re struggling with challenges, we feel guilty like it’s our fault (DNA or poor parenting). While the above feelings are completely normal, there’s really only one thing we can change for sure, and it does make a world of a difference... OUR OWN BEHAVIOR. Here’s to celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week by recommitting to practicing our own healthy patterns! Head on over to our website (link in bio) for the full blog post! #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CK17QFuDPuj/?igshid=18e8ptokakss7
Modeling Mental Health for our Kids
Modeling Mental Health for our Kids
Being the perfect picture of mental health for our children sounds like a very tall order, believe me I know. That said, striving to take of ourselves is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our kids. Modeling healthy behaviors develops trust. Saying one thing while doing another does not. By not practicing positive coping mechanisms when our daughter and Roots partner, Courtney, was a…

“Finding your path is not an act of searching. It is an act of allowing. When you let go of what you think should be, you allow what is meant to be. While this may sound trite, it is simply the act of following your heart moment by moment. Your purpose is already built into your being. When you follow your heart, your inner GPS, you are nudged in the right direction. Because what finding your path comes down to is living life to the fullest. It comes down to following what feels alive to you, and doing your best, in this moment.” -Henri Junttila #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmUK0-jGR_/?igshid=1c4onvvzcy5nv

“And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation - some fact of my life - unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.” - AA Big Book pg 417 #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CKe3DvfjR7y/?igshid=1svropmduits4
Sometimes we get unexpected visitors knocking at the door to our conscious mind, sometimes they barge in without notice. These unwelcomed guests are generally rooted in anger, sadness, regret, fear, and stress. As painfully draining as these feelings can be, allowing yourself to create space for them is crucial. Take time to feel them, and let them move through you, if you suppress these emotions, they can manifest into something more significant. The only way to show yourself that these feelings don’t have to rule your days is to acknowledge them and walk through them. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUtaiUjfZf/?igshid=xm3v4zzr57d6
Sometimes we get unexpected visitors knocking at the door to our conscious mind. Sometimes they barge in without notice or a heads up they were even coming in the first place. These unwelcomed guests typically are anger, sadness, regret, fear, and stress. As painfully draining having these feelings are, allowing yourself to create space for them, feel them, and let them move through you is the only way to show yourself that these feelings don’t have to rule your days. You are resilient, don’t forget it! #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUtIHODfVo/?igshid=za28ihsnzns
The choice is real - the glow of an actual sunrise, or the glow of screen. Starting our day with quiet time, a little exercise, a daily reading or another centering action before diving into our devices is a recommended practice for optimal wellbeing. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCqKUgD8hm/?igshid=1cuznglmq4afa
Over the years, research has suggested that the bond animals and humans share can be vastly important and beneficial to mental health. Pets and therapy animals can help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Interactions with animals can help people manage their long-term mental health conditions. Of course, those of us who have pets in the home are already aware of how much joy and fullness they bring to our everyday lives. Give your furry friend some extra love today, for we all experience the healing power of the human-animal bond. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ9bU83jQAj/?igshid=2c909rnq54m5
Self-love is a practice. It grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. It may not happen overnight. But with time, it will settle itself into your heart. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CJrkRYXD_Xs/?igshid=1t84resxou9rg
The illness thrives when families triangulate by having side conversations about one another. We encourage families to practice communicating directly and or openly with each other when there are challenges to resolve. Transparency promotes healing and wellness. #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CJowuEnj1mz/?igshid=u7751u59snie

Emotional self-regulation is a skill that all humans acquire and shape in early childhood. To the degree that this skill is utilized and practiced with efficiency all depends on the environment one is raised in. Oftentimes, when a person experiences trauma such as neglect, abuse, or other forms of trauma in early childhood, that self-regulating “muscle” has been tampered with. Teens and adults may experience that this “tampering” will take many forms in their life. Whether that be the lack of ability to think before acting, being challenged with mental health diagnoses, or ending up self-soothing with drugs and alcohol. If this sounds familiar, there are ways to build up the emotional self-regulating muscle. Whether this is through the consistent practice of mindfulness, cognitive-reframing, or therapy, you can get there! #rootscollaborative https://www.instagram.com/p/CI_vj0ej5zz/?igshid=fgrw7zw237e6
