Understanding and Managing Anxiety: A Guide to Finding Relief

| Anxiety | No Comments

Did you know that anxiety disorders are some of the most common types of mental illness in the United States? An estimated 40 million adults over the age of 18 deal with anxiety every year, which equates to about 18.1 percent of the population. Anxiety can manifest in many different ways, depending on the person and the circumstances surrounding the disorder. For some, anxiety means nervousness, worry, and self-doubt, whereas others deal with overwhelming feelings of dread. Those who have never dealt with anxiety can have a difficult time understanding what people who do have anxiety are going through. Numerous factors may contribute to a person’s anxiety, from high stress levels to relationships, work, school, and social networks. What is Anxiety? Anxiety is part of our body’s natural defense system. It acts as a warning system that communicates to you that something just isn’t right.

Coping with Grief and Loss: Supporting Kids through Grief Counseling

| Depression, Family, Mental Health, Parenting | No Comments

Grief is an emotion that touches all of our lives at one point or another, and it can be particularly challenging for children to navigate. The loss of a loved one or a cherished pet can have a profound impact on a child’s emotional well-being. At Lifeworks Counseling Center, we understand the importance of helping children cope with grief and loss. In this blog, we’ll explore the journey of grieving kids and how grief counseling and support can make a world of difference in helping them heal. Understanding Grief in Children Grief is a natural response to loss, but it manifests differently in children than in adults. Young children may struggle to understand the permanence of death, while older children may experience a range of complex emotions. Common reactions to grief in children include: Sadness: Children may feel profound sadness and may express it through tears, moodiness, or withdrawal. Confusion: Understanding the finality of death can be challenging for kids, leading to confusion and questions about where the deceased has gone. Anger: Grief can trigger feelings of anger, either directed towards themselves, the person or pet who passed away, or even those around them. Guilt: Children may feel guilty, believing…
