  #Emotions #HealthyRelationships #Communication Research has shown that suppressing your emotions pretty well shuts down communication within that relationship. Let's chat about what the findings from one study might mean for your relationship. James Gross, a scientist who studies emotion, found that when we try to suppress emotion, this is what happens: • It's very hard to do - basically it doesn't work. We have to work very hard to shut an emotion down once it is up and running, and in the process, we often get more agitated and tense. This is especially true in close relationships when the trigger for the emotion, the other person, is still there giving us signals that get us all fired up. • Emotion doesn't stay inside our skin. When we try to shut feelings off, the people we are relating to also get more and more tense. When we are denying our feelings, our partners probably get tense because our faces register our feelings way faster than the thinking part of the

#Texting #HealthyRelationship Have you ever sent a text you wished you could take back? Or have you ever received a text that confused you, hurt you, or made you angry? If you have, you may understand how texting can be a risky framework for building relationships . Face-to-face is where relationships live and thrive, so, as a rule of thumb, try to save the important stuff for face-to-face conversations. Here are eight specific things to avoid when texting: 1. Complaints. “I told you not to text me during finals.” or, “You should be nicer to my parents .” Because your recipient can’t hear your voice, they have no idea just how big a deal this is to you. Does it warrant a breakup? Are you only mildly annoyed? Or are you just playing? 2. Insults. “I knew I could count on you to be late,” or, “Typical male response.” Insults, like complaints, aren’t any more fun to read than they are to hear, and they can be confusing. Also, you might regret what you said later when you’ve had more time t

#MayaAngelou #TheMask  #BlackHistory #BlackAmerican  The Mask by Maya Angelou We wear the mask that grins and lies. It shades our cheeks and hides our eyes. This debt we pay to human guile With torn and bleeding hearts… We smile and mouth the myriad subtleties. Why should the world think otherwise In counting all our tears and sighs. Nay let them only see us while We wear the mask. We smile but oh my God Our tears to thee from tortured souls arise And we sing Oh Baby doll, now we sing… The clay is vile beneath our feet And long the mile But let the world think otherwise. We wear the mask. When I think about myself I almost laugh myself to death. My life has been one great big joke! A dance that’s walked a song that’s spoke. I laugh so hard HA! HA! I almos’ choke When I think about myself. Seventy years in these folks’ world The child I works for calls me girl I say “HA! HA! HA! Yes ma’am!” For workin’s sake I’m too proud to bend and Too poor to bre

  #Anxiety #MentaHealth #Therapy #BlackMaleTherapist #AfricanAmericantherapist #Triple5LightTherapy #ABLM #BLM #Latin #Asian #NativeAmerican #White #POC #LGBTAffirmingTherapy With many surveys showing that   anxiety is at heightened levels ever since the advent of the  COVID-19  pandemic, the struggle to manage  stress  is a common one. In my practice, I am seeing people identify with feeling overwhelmed, pessimistic, and frazzled. These feelings are compounded by a sense of uncertainty about the future, and no clear sense of when our daily lives' disruptions will no longer be so significant.  It's important to understand that stress—and by which I mean the classic definition of the stress response, which is your reaction to a stressor (a trigger)—is multi-faceted. It involves not just your thoughts, but your emotions, your behavior, and your body. When we feel like we are under a chronic stress response, or one that is particularly severe or unrelenting, anxiety begins to foll

#Dating #Facebook #eHarmony #Tinder #OkCupid Online dating has come a long way in just a few decades. Match.com launched in 1995 — three years before Google — and became a pioneer in the pretty much nonexistent online dating scene. In those early days, it wasn’t clear online dating would be successful. The idea that singles could meet one another on the internet was a revolutionary concept viewed with skepticism and sometimes derision by the general public — at first. But by 2007,  online dating had become the second highest online industry  for paid content. How did this dramatic shift take place? The following movers and shakers in the industry had a hand in shaping online dating as we know it today. 2000: eharmony Takes a Psychology-Based Approach to Love Dr. Neil Clark Warren has had a long and impressive career as a relationship counselor, clinical psychologist, Christian theologian, and seminary professor, but, in 2000, he added online dating entrepreneur to his résu
