Sneak Peek!

Sneak Peek!

I told someone a little bit of my life story the other day and she responded, "If I don't look like what I've been through was a person" and I HOLLERED! She was right though.

Anxiety and depression are, unfortunately, but also fortunately, my portion (a post about why is forthcoming). Dealing with these two illnesses is emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically taxing. As a therapist, I have gone through years of training to learn how to help others cope with their diagnoses. I have used my training, my knowledge of the Bible and my life experience to find what coping skills work for me. 

I've found that Affirmations and Gratitude are at the top of my coping list. I am currently writing a guide with some of my most used coping skills titled, "He Restores My Soul: Using Psalm 23 to Cope with Anxiety and Depression." In this workbook, in addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, you'll find affirmations that I extracted solely from various translations of the 6 verses of Psalm 23.  Of course, in the workbook, the affirmations will be aesthetically pleasing, but I felt like somebody needed to read them tonight so here you go...
