Did you know that some therapists prescribe watching the film, Groundhog Day, to their patients? I feel that it’s one of the most perfect movies and definitely in my personal top 10 (fun fact: I went to college with Bill Murray’s son/have met Mr. Murray, and he is as awesome IRL as he is on screen.)
Like most modern humans, I have been on the receiving end of some really life-changing (and, once, some pretty terrible) psychotherapy, but I have never reached out for personal life coaching.Recently, bogged down in day-to-day management tasks that I was meant to delegate, I realized that I was struggling with an issue that would benefit from another set of eyes, and some support.
We at LIFT understand that approaching the topic of food with children can be daunting for parents. While we can’t predict our children’s reactions, parents remain the most reliable support for their children, and early intervention has proven to be one of the strongest indicators of recovery. Eating disorders are serious disorders and trying for everyone involved. Support for each family member through this time can be crucial to full and successful recovery.
The clinical team at LIFT Wellness wishes each and every one of our precious clients, colleagues and friends a very happy new year. As we enter into 2021, gratitude for our many blessings is tempered by a deep and profound understanding of how brutal this year has been for so many among us.
For those who suffer from disordered eating, food anxiety triggered by the upcoming holiday season may be enough to make them want to pack bags and shack up somewhere warm for the coming months. Halloween leads the festive three-month parade of family meals, social events, celebratory feasting, and for many, rationalized overindulgence.
As the ripple effects of the coronavirus pandemic continue to unfold and expand, one thing has become clear: women are under siege.
At LIFT, we are advocates and allies for women’s whole health; and most preeminently, mental health, which includes emotional and psychological health, as well as social well-being. Why?
Health anxiety is a condition wherein we cannot stop thinking about potential symptoms and begin to catastrophize them. We often create rituals or habits of inspection to look for anything seemingly out of place and then gather as much information on them as possible.
Did you know that October is National Women’s Small Business Month?
This is a time to recognize the myriad achievements of our country’s female entrepreneurs, and the positive impact they are making on jobs and the economy. If you’re an owner of one of the 11.6 million women owned businesses in the U.S., this month is also about YOU!
This week, 4 October – 10 October, marks Mental Illness Awareness Week 2020. The theme for this year’s #MIAW is “What People With Mental Illness Want You to Know.” MIAW coincides with National Depression Screening Day, which takes place on October 8.
