Best-selling author Dr. Barbara De Angelis has said, “We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.”
Sometimes, those difficult times come from the dynamics of a relationship. Other times, they come from dealing with our own personal matters.
All times, though, we can pull strength from ourselves and conquer to those difficult times to obtain the courage we need to face any other trials that come our way — and let’s face it, there will be more. Such is life, but also such is the resilience of humans.
5 Dissociative Symptoms: Coping With Trauma
(Caregivers, Family, & Friends) — After experiencing trauma, some people struggle with dissociation which leads then to experience symptoms such as de-personalization, de-realization, amnesia, feelings of detachment, and feeling as if they’re absent; however, there are several tools — or “grounding exercises” — a person dealing with dissociation can use to help bring themselves back to reality.
What Is Emotional Blackmail?
(The Exhausted Woman) — Blackmail isn’t always tangible; sometimes, a blackmailer will use a person’s negative emotions (three, in particular) to coerce the victim into doing what the blackmailer wants.
How to Know What You Need in Relationships
(Bonding Time) — Often, relationship problems stem from one person — or both — not knowing what he or she actually needs in the relationship. Fortunately, there are certain questions we can ask ourselves to help identify our specific feelings and figure out how those feelings apply to our unfulfilled relationships.
How Family Dynamic Affects Mental Illness
(Bipolar Laid Bare) — Sometimes, one of the strongest support systems a person who deals with bipolar disorder can have is his or her family; however, no matter how supportive family members strive to be, sometimes efforts fall short. Developing a family-focused treatment plan can help family members help their loved one.
Humor and Chronic Pain: A Top 10 List
(Living With Chronic Pain) — While pain is no laughing matter, sometimes laughter really is “the best medicine” and, when you feel like your pain keeps you from doing many things, you can take some comfort in knowing it is possible to smile a little.
