Getting Through Hard Times
Going through hard times?
Does this sound familiar?
You’re experiencing deep sadness over the way your life is going
You’re feeling very sad and alone
You’re trying to find strength and hope
You’re feeling lost and want help getting out of a dark time in your life
All you have to do is turn on the news to hear about all the tragic events going on out there in the world and sometimes tragedy hits close to home. Death of a loved one, serious and life threatening health issues, financial hardship or loss dealing with a painful and life altering divorce.
Life certainly has a way of challenging us all in so many ways and no one should have to go through it alone.
Is this you?
You recently lost a loved one to illness or sudden death
You’re life has been turned upside down by divorce
You’re teenager or young adult child is struggling
You’re adult child is having a difficult time in their life
You’re (or a loved one) are coping with cancer or serious illness
You’re struggling with aging, depression, isolation and health issues
Whatever the challenge, so many of us end up needing help getting through hard times. The support of family and friends (and for some faith and spirituality) can help in so many ways, but for some people, getting through hard times is much more difficult. You don’t have to go through it alone.
If you need help getting through hard times, therapy and support groups can help. If you live in Essex County NJ, feel free to contact us at 973-793-1000 and let us know how we can help.
How to Not Care What People Think
Struggling with What others Think of You?
Is this you?
- You fear criticism and judgment from others
- You constantly doubt yourself
- What others think of you affects the way you feel about yourself
- It’s hard to be yourself because you fear of being criticized by others
Listen to this video by vulnerability researcher and social worker Brené Brown
Why Your Critics Aren’t The Ones Who Count
This is something so many men and women struggle with… how to not care what people think. If you find this video helpful, I recommend viewing any or all of Brené Brown’s videos. She speaks to many of about the importance of and power of vulnerability as well as understanding shame and unworthiness.
We hope you find this information as helpful as we do.
How Perfectionism Holds You Back
Changing Perfectionism
Vulnerability is Essential to Living a Happy Life
Brené Brown has a video we placed here to hear her interview about how to reduce perfectionism and the key is vulnerability. The link was changed so it no longer is available here, but worth seeing if you can locate this interview with Brené Brown.
It is not easy to change and reduce that inner critic, but over time it will help you decrease judgment that ultimately hold you back and makes you suffer. Some people feel their perfectionism helps them become more successful and although it may help in some ways, it is always more damaging to you in so many ways.
Gettin help reducing perfectionism will make you feel more satisfied with what you have instead of always striving for more.
