Hey there This depends on the context of your problems and the therapy modality your therapist might be using. Sometimes they have to be firm enough to confront you about your issues and that can be uncomfortable. However, if you still feel that she's good but her strictness is making you uneasy, you can always be upfront about it and make it known to her how you're feeling with her approach.

If you feel uncomfortable with your therapist's approach, it might be worth considering finding a new therapist who aligns better with your needs and communication style.

Hey ! there are some situations where therapist night get stricter so that you can feel a little bit pressure on you that you have to do the following assignment but if that's going for long and often please openly communicate it your therapist and I am definitely sure she will consider it.

Hi there, I hope you are well. -Nutrition plays a key role in overall well-being. Each nutrient we consume is needed for nourishment of different organs and tissues. Hence, it is necessary to include a balanced diet which comprises of fibre, protein, and good fats. -Fibre is needed for improving digestion and for keeping your gut healthy.There is a link in between your gut and brain , and hence, fibre is necessary. Include wholegrains, vegetables, fresh fruits, beans, lentils to the diet. - Protein is needed for functioning of various hormones,wear and tear of muscles, and for nourishing each cell in the body.Include beans, lentils, dairy and dairy products, lean meat, nuts, and seeds to the diet. - Omega 3 fatty acids rich foods can improve your mood and facilitate better brain functioning. Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado, olive oil are great sources of the same. - Include meditation, and yoga in your daily routine to combat stress. - Opt for a walk, and sleep well. Take care ✨

Seemachaudhary・9d

Balanced diet, rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, supports mental health. Include mood-boosting foods like omega-3s, magnesium, and zinc. Avoid excess caffeine, sugar, processed foods. Hydration and mindful eating help too.

My friends straight up don't listen to me when I'm venting or sharing my problems. They zone out, change the subject, or give shitty advice that shows they weren't even paying attention. It's pissing me off feeling dismissed like that by people who are supposed to be my girls. How do I get through to them and make them actually hear me out without invalidating how I feel?

Its better to stay with less friends then the friends who dont value your feelings, nevertheless, confrontation of how you feel can also help to either break off or bring you closer

theintrovertgirl・13d

Just go and have a straightforward conversation with them. Just vent out everything to them about how you have been feeling. If they are your true friends then they will definitely understand you.

Self care , Mental health, mental well-being...these are the topics which one sees every where. To put in a nutshell... Mental well-being or mental health would mean you are able to conduct you routine without creating negative thoughts feeling etc.. if the activity you do or the interaction you have is creating any kind of upheaval means your mental health issues disturbed. Self care comes in play here .. self care includes taking care physical , mental and emotional health * you need to do you duties perform the tasks without getting disturbed. * Take care of your physical health by eating right food, adequate water and good sleep. * Setting Boundaries, Saying NO etc plays a important role....
