Looking forward to this sequel and the input from Lisa Damour, PhD on the emotions of #teens

'You don’t have to cope with bullying on your own and talking it through with someone else may help. An adult you trust... can give you a fresh point of view, as well as helping you decide what to do and how to deal with any impacts.' #bullying #childwelfare

An important part of growing up is learning how to manage big feelings without meltdowns. Children who manage their emotions well are more likely to succeed in school and get along with others.

When we perceive someone as successful, it’s easy to think they possess some kind of “untouchable magic.”

Keep your goals in sharp focus. Adjust as needed. Move forward.

I’m a husband, father, son, brother, and friend. I’m strong, smart, confident, and resilient. But sometimes I’m sad, or lonely, or afraid, and sometimes I feel vulnerable and unsure. But it’s okay. That makes me no less a man. It simply makes me human. I am enough. #StopSuicide

Lessons from therapy ⬇️

Communicating well isn't voicing every thought or feeling you're having.

It's reflecting on what the other person said & considering whether you have something valuable to add.

Sometimes ... saying *less* is more helpful.⬇️

Maintain awareness of the five stages of #burnout (honeymoon, onset of stress, chronic stress, burnout, and habitual burnout phases) to ensure it does not lead to depression, dissatisfaction, social isolation, and in extreme cases, suicide.
