BOUNDARIES – For many clients, the #1 influence on their emotional health is boundaries. We all need boundaries in our relationships. They help us define our personal limits and protect our emotional well-being, and they are integral in setting up our emotional red flag system. When boundaries are clear, they promote mutual understanding and respect, and help to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. They also help us maintain our sense of self and independence while fostering secure and supportive relationships.

RUMINATING – Sometimes referred to as “Negative Thought Loops”, ruminating is the repetitive and unproductive focus on negative outcomes, thoughts, or emotions. This repetition often worsens our feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress. It involves continuously thinking about distressing situations without moving towards a solution. This is a dramatically unhelpful behavior for anyone. Stopping rumination can help us improve our emotional regulation, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance our problem-solving abilities. It fosters a more positive mindset and better overall mental well-being.

TRIGGERS – A trigger is a stimulus that elicits a strong emotional or psychological reaction, often due to its association with a distressing experience. Identifying your personal triggers is crucial for managing your reactions and developing coping strategies. If you know what sets you off, you can plan ahead and sometimes prevent the reaction all together.
