    The UP & UP: Existentialism

    What is Existentialism? It's one of those vague sounding words that feels important... Simply put, Existentialism is just the study of how we, as humans exist, and how it's different than how a dog, a bee, or that chair over there exists. When we think too hard on this, it can leave us feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed with life, so it's important to take it easy and study a little at a time.

    The Up & Up: Cognitive Distortions

    Cognitive Distortions are beliefs that may not be true or false; maybe they're just distorted, from looking through the wrong lense? Sometimes this is helpful, and sometimes... Not so much. It's good to pause and reflect on these distortions, and check in with how well they are serving you in building the life you want.

    The Up & Up: Auto-thoughts

    Auto thoughts assemble themselves! That's the whole point. These are the thought reactions we have to everyday situations. And sometimes those autothoughts get in the way of what we need/want to be in the world. So it's worth pausing to reflect on what thoughts jump in our heads and lead us to act/react in different ways. We want to make mental health care clear, helpful and maybe even fun!

    The Up & Up: Bad Therapy

    Not all therapy is good or helpful. I have heard a few people share about trying to seek help and having a therapist say, "Well you just can't be helped" or "That's not even a thing!" It's appalling how many people have had this negative experience. and we are so sorry it happens! Unfortunately, therapists are people too, and there are good ones and bad ones, and ones we click with and ones we don't. No matter who you work with, you should always feel safe, heard, and understood. And you should always be encouraged to keep seeking answers, even if that specific therapist doesn't know where to find them We want to make mental health care clear, helpful and maybe even fun!
