It's Okay to Feel Sad

By Uriah Cty, M.A., LMFT  We all feel sad at times. We experience a natural emotion in response to difficult or stressful situations. While sadness is generally considered normal, it can sometimes become overwhelming and last for an extended period of time. If you're struggling with sadness, know that you're not alone. There are ways to manage your feelings and get the support you need. 1. Everyone experiences sadness at some point in their lives Having a sad experience is a normal emotion that we all feel at different times in our lives. It's often triggered by negative life events, such as the death of a loved one, a beloved pet, or losing a job. While sadness is temporary for most people, it can become more severe and last for an extended period of 2.

How to deal with holiday stress: The psychology behind why family time can turn adults into moody teens again

#holidaystress #family #copingmechanism #conflict #Psychology #Triple5LightTherapy #Couplestherapy #BlackMaleTherapist  No matter how far away from home we travel, most of us can’t escape our familial history — and the memories that come with it. Along with shopping, gift-wrapping, and cookie baking, I’m prepping for the holidays by accepting that family stress may get the best of me. While I haven’t lived at home for over 20 years, conflict around heated topics like politics can make me feel like a misunderstood teen again. Listening calmly and objectively to my parents becomes harder and harder, and I interrupt more. Once, I even rolled my eyes at my mom like a pouty adolescent. My behavior, however, isn’t meant to be disrespectful or cruel, even though it might look that way. It’s actually a normal coping mechanism known as regression. As a psychologist, I’ve heard hundreds of family tales similar to mine. For many of us, reuniting with loved ones during the holidays can fee

New fascinating insights on the psychological effects of Hugging

  #Hug #Hugging #Emotions #Stress #Mood #BlackMaleTherapist #Psychotherapy #MentalHealth  During the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns and restrictions, one of the things many people missed most was getting hugged by their loved ones. This led to an increased interest in the positive effects of hugging in the psychology research community and several studies published over the last year have yielded new insights on what it means to us to be hugged. Here are four of the most interesting new insights into the science of hugging. 1. Getting hugged by others, but also hugging yourself, reduces stress hormones A recent study by researcher Aljoscha Dreisoerner from the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and his team focused on the positive effects of hugging on stress (Dreisoerner et al., 2021). Interestingly, the scientists not only investigated how getting hugged by other people could reduce stress, but also whether hugging yourself (e.g., when other people are not available

Empathy, Kindness and Understanding

#Empathy #Kindness #Understanding #Triple5LightTherapy #BlackMaleTherapist #LGBTAffirmingTherapy Feelings that are taken for granted and are overlooked in these times. These abilities are vital to our being; they are ways in which we can relate to one another and help each other through difficulties and adversity. Humanity must find it in their hearts to help and love others in their struggles, even through the differences. We must learn to embrace these abilities and teach the rest of the world how important they are to humanity. Empathy, kindness, and understanding; are abilities that each of us should put into practice to reach and connect with the rest of humanity. Being able to empathize over what others are going through, to share kindness during a difficult time, and being able to understand the struggle of others. Connecting to the feelings and perspectives of people is essential to our existence; humanity needs more of this. Instead, we see a world full of hatred and division.

Building a Healthy Marriage

#HealthyRelationship #Marriage #Partner #trust #Respect #Love #Boundaries #redflags #Triple5LightTherapy #BlackMaleTherapist by ALEXANDRA MCCRAY When we look at couples in multidecade marriages, many of us wonder what the secret is to building a healthy marriage. As it turns out, according to the three mental health and relationship experts we spoke to, the secret to building a healthy marriage is a combination of traits and skills that we can develop within ourselves and our unions. Read on for their advice on how to do both. Look Inward First The professionals agree that building healthy marriages requires spouses who understand the importance of self-awareness and self-reflection. “We have to be able to identify our own issues and work through them—even if that means through therapy—in order to be in accord with our partner,” says Alyce Keys, MA, a pre-licensed therapist in Atlanta. Uriah Cty, MA, LMFT, in Los Angeles reminds us that while it is imperative to take responsibility for

What Your Black Employees Wish You Would and Wouldn’t Do for Black History Month

#African-American #BlackAmerican #BlackHistorymonth #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackMaleTherapist #Triple5LightTherapy During the month of February, Black employees across industries face a heightened awareness of our double consciousness. We are both bolstered by the prospect of positive recognition while we brace for the inevitable disappointment brought on by an endless barrage of the perfunctory and the performative. Still, each year is a fresh opportunity for improvement that starts with a listening ear. During Black History Month please, consider what Black employees wish you would and wouldn’t do. Do invest Don’t oversee and ’empower’ When I asked members of the  Black Girl Magic  space on  Fishbowl  for Black History Month dos and don’ts, each response noted the challenges of management failing to get out of the way. From delayed content approvals to fear-driven “concerns” about programming ideas, the enthusiasm that should be met with resources is all too often met with r
