Behavioral Health Link recently shared this documentary recently, and I wanted to take a moment to highlight it as well. While we talk a lot about how prevalent suicide is in our society, I think it's equally important to highlight the stories that demonstrate "triumph over trauma." These stories remind us that there is hope on the other side—light in the darkness. However, many just need help finding it. #SuicidePrevention #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealthCrisis

Take 1:30 minutes to watch this quick message from a friend and colleague trying to help others who need it.

Powerful message delivered with passion.

I've struggled to write this week but wanted to make an entry as I have found my blog a good weekly focus to have with my current apathy and absence of inspiration. #film #films #inspiration #love #heroes #depression #blog #bloggers #music #albums #legacy #suicide #suicideprevention #suicideawareness

Disturbing but insightful… One of the most important movies to watch as we enter ‘The Age of Crisis.’ Firstly, it was uncomfortable to watch. There were a couple of scenes even I was squirming in my seat. Secondly, the acting by Nicholas Cage was UNREAL. Thirdly, it was heartbreaking in its accuracy on how we treat people. Fourth, it was terrifyingly accurate on how our social conscience is currently being manipulated and how we as a society are acting. Fifth. It validated what we know is coming. And are preparing for. NOT a couples movie. NOT an enjoyable experience. CRITICIALLY important to see if you’re anyone that is in the psychosocial space. There’s LOVE and vulnerability and inspiration in there, but only if you look for it. Final warning: You can’t UNsee this once you’ve seen it. There are many positive and insightful metaphors and inspirations in the story line and many hidden. But you’ll need to be in full control of your mind going in there. Randy Greenberg FYI.

10 years missing him and a convenient opportunity to share reflexions on mental health, particularly re. depression and suicide. Once again, let's pay attention to details: Robin, Anthony Bourdain -among others- were tremendously successful, used to smile at everyone, were shinning stars in different areas and generous givers of wisdom. But... the high-functioning depression is quite difficult to be noticed in our daily life. It's not as simple as taking this test or appealing to that psychometric instrument. However, we can observe certain signs... just to be alert with ourselves or a beloved one. Pay attention, read about high-functioning depression in mental health webs, specialized blogs, and similars.

Understanding the fine line between healthy and unhealthy anger is crucial for our well-being. Anger, a natural emotion, can either drive positive change or lead to destructive outcomes. At Phases Virginia, we explore how to harness anger constructively: Healthy anger serves as a signal for needed change and motivates us to take positive action. It promotes effective communication, empathy, and resilience. Unhealthy anger, however, can harm relationships and physical health, leading to impulsive actions and chronic stress. Learn practical strategies through our blog to manage anger effectively, enhance emotional intelligence, and foster healthier relationships. Contact us at Phases Virginia for support in understanding healthy and unhealthy anger. Let’s navigate anger together, towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. 🌟 #AngerManagement #MentalHealthAwareness #PhasesVirginia

What lengths would you go to protect the ones that you love? Check out my latest review of this absorbing family drama.

On April 7th, CBS aired a segment on 60 MINUTES that featured AI-based “therapy support tool” Woebot Health from a disturbingly one-sided perspective. There was hardly any mention of the valid concerns from dissenters about the use of bots in mental health treatment, such as their lack of efficacy, potential for harm and violations of privacy, and dismissal of the most healing aspect of therapy - the relationship! Join us in letting CBS know that their coverage of this increasingly relevant topic fell short of painting the full picture, and help us promote therapies of depth, relationship, and insight. To leave feedback on the CBS site: 1. Go to https://lnkd.in/g-ZBWv_M 2. Choose a category. "Specials" 3. Select a program. "60 Minutes" - toward the bottom of the list 4. Tell them what you think! (copy paste not allowed, 2000 character max, no links). You can recommend Dr. Linda Michaels, PsiAN chair, to interview for a follow-up to this episode as someone who can provide sound evidence for what constitutes effective therapy. #mentalhealthmatters #psychotherapy #psychology

Ever feel like the unfinished business of mischievous little poltergeists, scrambling for your brain and refusing to exorcise? ️ I know I constantly feel restless until all tasks are finished! I came across this article that sheds some light on this and ways of coping; and gives voice to this Mental Barnacle- I hope this helps :) https://lnkd.in/gi9JamDC
