The Gratitude Project: List 3 Things That You Are Grateful For...
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
 November 12th
...See more Hi there, Today we will learn a little more about gratitude and learn how to express this. Studies have shown that if you practice daily gratitude practice, it can make you feel happier and improve your health. What is Gratitude? Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one already has and not ones future desires or hopes. It is generated from within. This social emotion strengthens relationships, and its roots run deep in evolutionary history, and it stems from the survival value of helping others and being helped in return. Studies show that specific areas of the brain are involved in experiencing and expressing gratitude. Brain scans of people assigned a task that stimulates gratitude show lasting changes in the prefrontal cortex that heighten sensitivity to future experiences of gratitude, thus feeling happier and healthier. Please list 3 things that you are grateful for and share daily if you feel comfortable to do so!

We welcome your questions, but what type of questions should I ask? We welcome any questions that are related to LGBTQIA+ and experiences and challenges. You may also want to ask questions about therapy and coping skills for particular challenges you face.

You may ask the therapist for coping options with the particular mental health challenges you face and they can share suggestions that you may want to consider, but this is not an advice column.

Can someone help me

 October 9th, 2023
...See more Hello, For the past 4 years I have been having a growing suspicion that someone within my close family has developed a mental health issue ( The actions line-up with Paranoid Personality Disorder ). Through this, I have been forced to stop many things I love to do all in the sake of them trying to "protect me". I am still only a child ( by law ) and cannot take any action until I am 18. I cannot go and talk to my school because I have been pulled out ( by the person ) because they think the school is "out to kill me". So currently I am sat at home all day still trying to study to keep up with schoolwork hoping the person will let me go back to school. Financially I cannot look for a professional so I seek Aid from here. Please help me.

Going into hospital again
by ElsBells7

 November 30th, 2022
...See more Hi everyone, I’m a 27 year old woman who has been suffering with an eating disorder for the last few years. It has been bad, and I’ve already had three separate hospital admissions over the last two years, each lasting around four months until I could take no more and discharged myself earlier than medically advised. Obviously, this hasn’t worked out for me and I’ve relapsed each time. Once again, I am being admitted on Thursday with a very low BMI and this will be my third Christmas in a row spent in hospital. I’m feeling very defeated and depressed and am dreading returning. Any advice or words of motivation are appreciated ❤️

Is every occurrence of a mental illness treatable?
by alvinarose
Last post
 November 16th, 2022
...See more A person's symptoms of a mental illness are evidence that the person has a conflict "within" his or her MIND. And that conflict is always a bit of Karma that person has to work out... with an exception of sorts. If the Karma that is causing that person's experience of a mental illness is near complete, a competent Gestalt Psychotherapist will be able to help that person discover that bit of Karma [which will usually be a "misperception" made by that person's MIND, and most often in early childhood], and that bit of Karma will be done with... for that person.
