Naming Your Loss, Meeting Your Grief, Healing Your Sadness
This week on the Therapy Spot, I’d like to address the grief and sadness we feel in response to loss. Loss is one of the many things that makes transition so difficult. Grief is a natural response to loss, whether that’s another person or simply a part of our daily routine. While grief is an opportunity to process our sadness, many of us go to great lengths to avoid confronting those feelings. for more, visit: bethrogerson.com

An Interview With Donna Roe Daniell
We’ve talked a lot about transition on the Therapy Spot in the last few months. Transition can be expected, like puberty or menopause, or it can be sudden, like death or divorce. Even when it knocks you out of your comfort zone, transition is an opportunity to grow. Yet so many of us fear or even try to avoid transition! That’s why I interviewed Donna Roe Daniell, a family therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. for more, visit: bethrogerson.com

Metacognition: Getting a Bird’s Eye View of Your Thoughts
If you’ve ever had a bad interaction with someone, you might think, “Wow, they really made me feel small and unimportant.” The idea that other people make us feel something, however, is one of the biggest myths in society today. In reality, you can’t change other people’s actions, but you can change what and how you think about them. That’s where metacognition - or "thinking about thinking" - comes in.

This week, let’s get curious towards our people-pleasing part and practice being assertive, so we can show up with Self energy in our relationships. for more, visit: bethrogerson.com

Make A Self-Date: Meditate!
Thanks to all the frantic transitions that happen at this time of year, I’ve seen quite a lot of stress and anxiety walking into my office on these warm, sunny, early autumn days. So this week, I want to reissue a podcast from last fall, when I interviewed Richard Miller, PhD, on the subject of iRest meditation. Richard created the Integrative Restoration (or iRest) protocol as a modern adaptation of Yoga Nidra, an ancient meditation practice. Many hospitals and military bases have successfully used iRest to treat the effects of trauma and depression. For more, visit: bethrogerson.com
