The Little Things
May 11, 2013

When we focus on health and wellness in life, it’s very easy to only focus on the physical and overlook the mental, emotional, and relational aspects. However, because we are whole people, we encompass many areas of wellness within us, not just the physical. To be “whole person healthy”, we must cast a bigger net than just working out and eating well (although both of those are very important as well!). As a counselor, I believe that the mental and emotional components of our health are critical, and therefore an important part of my life and my writing. Here are some of the posts I’ve done in the area of mental health by topic:

Anxiety, Stress, and Depression

Boundaries

Eating Disorders

Gratitude (Thankfulness)

Grief and Tragedy

Happiness/Contentment

Negative Thinking and Cognitive Distortions

Relationship Struggles and Health

Self Care

Trust (Safety)

Wellness
