Imagery can help alleviate stress and anxiety, improve self-confidence, help you visualize success, and enhance your ability to perform under pressure. In order for Imagery to be effective you must engage all five senses and picture yourself going through the motions of the event or action. Create the most detailed image you can and go through the process in real time, step-by-step. Don't picture everything going perfectly. Instead, picture problems happening and you success...fully navigating them. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #life #mindfulness #loveyourself #wellness #inspiration #fitness #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #quotes #mindset #success #covid #instagood #happy #meditation #mentalillness #yourself #bhfyp

It’s is important to tell others how you feel.. Many of us are taught this from a young age and is nothing new. What we often neglect is telling others how they can best support us. They shouldn’t JUST know. You need to tell them. ... It’s not selfish. You deserve it. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #life #mindfulness #loveyourself #wellness #inspiration #fitness #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #quotes #mindset #therapy #covid #instagood #happy #2020 #mentalillness #yourself #bhfyp

In our last two videos we have discussed some of the stressors about this current school year. There has been a lot put on parents in terms of schooling. It is completely normal for any parent to be experiencing anxiety, stress, or even depression right now. One of the first steps is to notice and acknowledge your stress. It can be helpful to talk about it with your partner or other family and friends. Utilize your support network; if you don’t have one- build one. They alwa...ys say it takes a village to raise a child. Find people who are in the same boat as you or who may be more inclined at math to help your child. Self care- Everyone needs to have a self care plan.Whether its taking a bath, walking, or going to therapy. Make sure you are scheduling in self care each week and actually each day if you can. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Meditation is usually something that gets many eye rolls when that name comes up. However, it can be a helpful tool not only for a adults but for kids. Try practicing meditation as a family. For young children and parents look for the PEACE OUT podcast that combines short stories with meditative practices. #backtoschool #school #kids #education #covid #lehighvalleypa #teachersofinstagram #love #backpack #teacher #meditation #anxiety #kidsfashion #teacherlife #follow #teachers #teachersfollowteachers #explorepage #college #students #parenting #handmade #distancelearning #homeschool #instagood #depression #student #children #learning #bhfyp

As we covered in our other video; the virtual learning platform requires things like a quiet place for your child to work, limited distractions, parental aid when working on homework or when they are having technology issues. As you all may be experiencing, hybrid schooling comes with its own challenges. What is crucial right now is keeping the line of communication open between you and your child. There is a saying I saw on the internet- Anxious parents send anxious kids t...o school.. That’s partially true. There is nothing wrong with communicating your emotions to your children. However, we want to make sure that it is age appropriate. Many young children look to their parents as the strong foundation from which they can explore new and exciting things. When that strong foundation is anxious, the child may then become anxious due to there being less perceived safety and security to fall back on. Parents, this does not mean you can’t be anxious. But we want to have places where we can unload and process separate from our children. In our next video we will get into more about how Parents can manage their back to school anxiety. #backtoschool #school #kids #education #covid #fashion #teachersofinstagram #love #backpack #teacher #depression #schoolsupplies #anxiety #teacherlife #lehighvalley #teachers #teachersfollowteachers #mentalhealth #college #students #parenting #handmade #distancelearning #homeschool #hybridschool #ootd #student #children #learning #bhfyp

We are late but, have been getting a ton of questions about heading back to school and how to manage this school year. So here are 5 Quick Tips for back to school: 1. Get in a routine. 2. Encourage your child to get dressed each day as if they were going to school No PJ’s! ... 3. Minimize distractions. Wherever possible, make sure they have a quiet place. Don’t sit them next to their brother or sister who is also in their zoom class. 4. Schedule in breaks. Staring at a computer all day can be very tiring and can make it hard to maintain focus. Allow your child time throughout the day to get up, get exercise and some fresh air. 5. Be prepared to help your child. Whether that is with homework or with the technology. #COVID19 #backtoschool #school #kids #education #covid #fashion #teachersofinstagram #love #backpack #teacher #like #mentalhealth #kidsfashion #teacherlife #follow #teachers #teachersfollowteachers #explorepage #college #students #parenting #handmade #distancelearning #homeschool #instagood #ootd #student #children #learning

What to expect from EMDR? "In an EMDR session a clinician will set you up for the positive belief that you are having. When you come in you will be instructed to lie down with your eyes closed. You will be fully conscious the entire time. It puts you in a semi-dreamlike state but you are not sleeping. I use a tens unit that has a buzzer in each hand for bi-lateral stimulation. If you have a memory you do not want to share, you don't have to. That's what is really nice about... it. You don't have to relive that past trauma. We will go through that. It is not uncommon for someone to have 30-40 memories in a session/ hour. We are listening for two positive things. Then we go back and install the positive belief onto that negative memory. That's about what you can expect. You can expect two sessions. One of the sessions a day will be covered by insurance. You can either come back a different day or pay out of pocket for the second hour. Insurance has been covering it since 1987. It used to just be used for the military. However, now we know that you can help a lot of people.

EMDR is at therapeutic technique that has been around since 1987. You can talk all you want. What we find is that through EMDR a lot more things come out while you move through each memory chain that is associated with a negative pattern in your life. It un-breaks that chain and puts you into a more positive pattern. From being trapped in a burning car to a shameful glance by a parent, we have all experienced some trauma that we continue to subconsciously react to. For insta...nce, "I'm not good enough.". So you might not ask for a raise because way back in your head you don't think you are good enough. Within two therapy sessions we can usually can tease this out. Typically EMDR involves a two hour session. Insurance will cover the first hour if it is done in one day. However, you could space out that second hour to a later day that week in order to have it covered. #emdrtherapy #counseling #danielprude #justicefordanielprude #ptsd #ptsdrecovery #depressionhelp #mentalhealth #lehighvalley
