The only difference between a behavioural therapist and a dog trainer is that the therapist doesn't give you any treats.

ADHD and sleep disturbances

Those with ADHD are probably aware that they have trouble sleeping frequently, but why is this? Restless sleep and sleep procrastination are common symptoms related to ADHD. While you may be more aware of your ADHD symptoms during the day, these symptoms don’t go away at night.

Restless Sleep

Commonly, patients with ADHD experience restless sleep. This can be characterized by trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, difficulty relaxing, trouble waking up in the morning, or not feeling energized after sleeping through the night. With ADHD, mental restlessness, and even physical restlessness, can contribute to poor sleep at night. With mental restlessness, one might experience not being able to wind down or “turn off their brain” when trying to go to sleep. They may experience thoughts replaying from throughout the day or a burst of energy when it is time to go to sleep. Once asleep, patients may find that they toss and turn throughout the night or sleep lightly and wake up multiple times. Once asleep, many patients with ADHD report that it is hard for them to wake up in the morning with many having to set multiple alarms. This can further lead to time management struggles that are already common with ADHD.

Sleep Procrastination

Sleep procrastination is another common contributor to poor sleep in individuals with ADHD. With sleep procrastination, individuals delay going to sleep at an appropriate time, commonly due to not having breaks during the day and feeling the need to do tasks before bed. With ADHD, the brain likes immediate gratification as well, and by procrastinating sleep to do more favorable activities, such as watching TV, playing video games, or reading, the brain is more satisfied than looking at the long-term gratification of going to bed on time. Individuals may procrastinate sleep by simply avoiding going to their bedroom or getting in bed, or by delaying sleep once they are in bed through activities such as being on their phone or watching TV.

Harms of improper sleep

Sleep is important for the body to recover from the day and to be ready to tackle the next day ahead. By not getting the proper amount of sleep each night, ADHD symptoms can worsen. Not having enough sleep can make a person’s memory worse and increase the chances of making careless errors.

Tips to improve sleep

Reducing screen time before bed

Creating and maintaining a bedtime routine, even on the weekends

Only use the bed for sleep, not for lounging or sitting during the day

Avoid caffeine later in the day

Avoid daytime naps if possible

Some individuals may require psychotherapy or medications to help with sleep at night. If you are struggling with sleep or your sleep routine, make an appointment with one of our clinicians today.

Animo Sano Psychiatry is open for patients in North Carolina. If you’d like to schedule an appointment, please contact us.

Different Types of Psychotherapies: Exploring Your Options | Solh Wellness

Several psychological therapies provide useful strategies for overcoming life's problems when it comes to improving your mental health. These treatments, often known as talk therapies or psychotherapies, offer a framework for comprehending and controlling your ideas, feelings, and behaviors.

Let's look at the various forms of psychological therapy available:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A well-known treatment method called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) aims to recognize and alter unfavorable thought patterns. By recognizing and addressing these ideas, people can manage disorders like anxiety, melancholy, and stress efficiently. Through CBT, you acquire practical abilities to change your negative thinking.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) 

DBT combines techniques that encourage mindfulness with cognitive behavioral treatment. Those who struggle with strong emotions, risky behavior, and interpersonal problems benefit the most from it. DBT teaches individuals how to control their feelings, strengthen interpersonal bonds, and encourage self-acceptance.

Psychodynamic Therapy 

This therapy focuses mostly on the unsolved problems and unconscious mechanisms that influence your ideas and behaviour. To uncover ingrained patterns and advance consciousness and personal development, psychodynamic therapy digs into past interactions and experiences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)   

ACT places a strong focus on accepting one's ideas and feelings as opposed to trying to repress them. It helps people define their values and make a commitment to upholding them. This therapy effectively treats anxiety while enhancing general wellbeing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies  

Self-awareness and present-moment awareness are encouraged in therapies that place a strong emphasis on mindfulness. These therapies include:

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR):Through the practice of moderate yoga and mindfulness meditation, MBSR aims to reduce stress and promote emotional control.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): Since the MBCT program combines cognitive therapy techniques with mindfulness training, it can benefit people who have recurrent depression.

Humanistic Therapies  

The goals of humanistic therapies are the pursuit of self-actualization, self-growth, and self-discovery. These consist of:

Person-Centred Therapy: In the encouraging, nonjudgmental environment of this treatment, people can examine their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Gestalt Therapy: The value of fully experiencing the present moment is emphasized by gestalt therapy. It promotes self-awareness and accountability.

Family Systems Therapy

Understanding how a person's ties with their family impact their mental health is the aim of family systems therapy. It tries to promote harmony within the family and communication.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)  

In IPT, emphasis is placed on interpersonal and communication skills. Both treating depression and resolving interpersonal conflicts can be done using it.

Narrative Therapy  

Examining the narratives we tell about our lives is an essential component of narrative therapy. Retelling and recreating these tales can offer people fresh perspective and a sense of empowerment.

Behavioural Therapy  

Behavioral therapy seeks to alter a behavior by identifying the reinforcers of that behavior. For phobias, OCD, and other conditions, there are two methods of treatment: behavior modification and exposure therapy.

Last but not least, each therapy has its unique technique and benefits. A licensed therapist can help you discuss your options and help you discover the option that best suits your needs. Remember that choosing the ideal approach could need some trial and error because therapy is a collaborative process. By incorporating psychological treatment into your regular routine for maintaining your mental health, you may offer yourself the resources you require to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

At Solh Wellness, we take great care to fully understand the range of mental health issues and offer treatment that is uniquely tailored to each potential client. Our therapists are skilled at adapting the course of treatment to meet the demands of the patients. In order to assist you practice mindfulness and self-care, we also provide resources and techniques.

The Power of Specialized Group Therapy in Healing Trauma: Insights from New Chapter Counseling

As you navigate the complex and often painful journey of healing from trauma, you may find yourself wondering if you're truly alone in your struggles. The truth is, you're not. Specialized group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who understand your experiences, providing a sense of community and emotional support that can be transformative in your healing process. At New Chapter Counseling, we've seen firsthand the profound impact that group therapy can have on trauma survivors, and we're committed to helping you unlock its power in your own life.

Key Takeaways:

Community Building: Specialized group therapy provides a safe space for trauma survivors to connect with others who have experienced similar traumas, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of community and emotional support.

Emotional Validation: Group therapy sessions offer emotional validation and practical coping strategies, empowering survivors to process their experiences and begin to heal in a supportive environment.

Trauma-Focused Care: New Chapter Counseling's trauma-focused group therapy utilizes specialized techniques to facilitate healing and emotional recovery, providing a safe and empathetic environment for clients to heal together.

The Role of a Psychotherapist in Trauma Recovery

For trauma survivors, the therapeutic relationship is a vital component of the healing process. A skilled psychotherapist creates a safe and non-judgmental space, allowing you to explore your experiences and emotions without fear of criticism or rejection.

Creating a Safe Space for Healing

Healing from trauma requires a sense of safety and security, which a trained therapist can establish through empathetic listening, validation, and gentle guidance. By doing so, you begin to feel comfortable sharing your story, and the healing process can unfold.

Building Trust with Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse

Below the surface of narcissistic abuse lies a complex web of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and control. A therapist experienced in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse understands the delicate dance of rebuilding trust, empowering you to reclaim your autonomy and self-worth.

Consequently, a therapist who has worked with survivors of narcissistic abuse knows that trust must be earned incrementally, through consistent empathy, active listening, and a deep understanding of the tactics employed by narcissistic abusers. By doing so, you can begin to rebuild your sense of self, free from the toxic grip of abuse.

Limitations of Individual Counseling for Trauma Survivors

Some trauma survivors may find individual counseling to be insufficient in addressing their complex emotional needs. While individual therapy provides a safe space for personal reflection and growth, it can lack the collective understanding and camaraderie that comes with sharing experiences with others who have gone through similar traumas.

The Importance of Community in Healing

Counseling in isolation can sometimes perpetuate feelings of loneliness and disconnection. In contrast, group therapy offers a sense of belonging and community, which is crucial for healing and recovery. When you're surrounded by others who understand your struggles, you begin to feel seen, heard, and validated.

The Power of Shared Experiences

By participating in group therapy, you'll discover that you're not alone in your struggles. You'll find comfort in knowing that others have faced similar challenges and have come out stronger on the other side. This shared understanding creates a powerful bond, allowing you to tap into a collective reservoir of strength and resilience.

For instance, in a group setting, you may hear someone share a story that resonates deeply with your own experiences. This moment of recognition can be incredibly liberating, as you realize that you're not alone in your struggles. You may also learn new coping strategies and gain valuable insights from others who have navigated similar challenges. As you connect with others who understand your pain, you'll begin to feel a sense of hope and renewal that can be difficult to find in individual therapy alone.

The Benefits of SPECIALIZED GROUP THERAPY for Trauma Survivors

Unlike individual therapy, specialized group therapy offers a unique opportunity for trauma survivors to connect with others who have experienced similar traumas, fostering a sense of community and reducing feelings of isolation. In a supportive group environment, you'll find emotional validation, practical coping strategies, and a safe space to process your experiences.

Trauma-Focused Therapy: A Collaborative Approach

Traumatic experiences can leave you feeling disconnected and alone, but trauma-focused group therapy provides a collaborative approach to healing. By sharing your story and hearing the stories of others, you'll begin to process your trauma and develop a deeper understanding of your experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Group Settings

GROUP therapy sessions offer a unique opportunity to learn and practice cognitive behavioral techniques alongside others who are facing similar challenges. This collaborative approach helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and work towards emotional recovery.

For instance, in a group setting, you might participate in exercises designed to help you reframe negative self-talk, manage anxiety, or develop healthy communication skills. By practicing these skills alongside others, you'll gain confidence and develop a sense of mastery over your emotions and behaviors.

Navigating Narcissistic Abuse Recovery through Group Therapy

Not only does group therapy provide a safe space for you to process your experiences, but it also offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who have gone through similar traumas. This collective understanding and support can be particularly powerful in navigating the complex emotions and challenges that come with recovering from narcissistic abuse.

Breaking the Isolation of Abuse

Abandoning the secrecy and shame that often accompany narcissistic abuse, you'll find solace in sharing your story with others who understand the manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional exploitation you've endured. In this safe space, you'll begin to break free from the isolation that has held you captive for so long.

Empowerment through Collective Support

Navigating the recovery process can be overwhelming, but with collective support, you'll gain confidence in your ability to set boundaries, practice self-care, and develop a stronger sense of self. As you share your story and hear the stories of others, you'll realize that you're not alone and that your experiences are valid. This collective empowerment will propel you forward on your journey to healing and emotional freedom.

The Therapeutic Process: What to Expect from Group Therapy

After committing to a specialized group therapy program, you may wonder what the therapeutic process entails. Rest assured that our expertly trained therapists will guide you every step of the way, creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your experiences and emotions.

Establishing Boundaries and Safety Guidelines

Across the initial sessions, our therapists will work with you to establish clear boundaries and safety guidelines, ensuring that each group member feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or criticism.

Fostering Open Communication and Trust

For a truly transformative experience, it's imperative to cultivate open communication and trust among group members. Our therapists will encourage active listening, empathy, and constructive feedback to foster a sense of community and connection.

What sets our group therapy sessions apart is the emphasis on creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated. By sharing your experiences and connecting with others who have faced similar challenges, you'll begin to break down the walls of isolation and shame, replacing them with a sense of belonging and empowerment. As you navigate the therapeutic process, you'll develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions, gaining practical tools to manage triggers and overcome obstacles.

Overcoming Challenges and Fears in Group Therapy

Now that you've taken the first step towards healing by considering group therapy, it's natural to feel apprehensive about what lies ahead. You may wonder if you'll be able to open up in a group setting or if others will understand your experiences. These concerns are valid, but know that our therapists are trained to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and work through challenges.

Addressing Concerns about Vulnerability

Behind the fear of vulnerability lies a deeper fear of being rejected or judged by others. But in a specialized group therapy setting, you'll find that others have faced similar struggles and are on a similar journey towards healing. This collective understanding creates a sense of safety, allowing you to slowly build trust and open up about your experiences.

Building Resilience through Collective Support

Between the guidance of our expert therapists and the support of your peers, you'll discover a sense of resilience you never thought possible. As you share your story and hear the stories of others, you'll begin to realize that you're not alone and that there is strength in numbers.

But what does this collective support look like in practice? In our group therapy sessions, you'll participate in guided discussions, exercises, and activities designed to help you process your emotions and develop coping strategies. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with others who understand your struggles, forming bonds that can last long after the therapy sessions end. This collective support system will empower you to confront your fears, work through challenges, and ultimately, build resilience in the face of adversity.

To wrap up

Hence, as you consider taking the first step towards healing from trauma, know that you are not alone. The power of specialized group therapy lies in its ability to provide a sense of community, emotional validation, and practical coping strategies. By joining one of our group therapy sessions at New Chapter Counseling, you will commence on a journey of healing and emotional support, surrounded by others who understand your experiences. Take the leap, and let us guide you towards a brighter, more empowered you.

Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental disorders. Considered pathology, anxiety is the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders... but what if it isn't always or only a medical condition?

From Greek tragedies and Buddhism to actual practices from ancient doctors like Galen, there are a myriad of important lessons about anxiety that can be gleaned from the past. Indeed, the ancients had a lot to say about anxiety and mental conditions in general... and their perspective and observations were at times very different from those found in our modern era.

With the help of both ancient philosophy and history, how can we see anxiety as a source not only of suffering, but also of insight?

This principle forms the foundation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), wherein the transformation of thoughts leads to the transformation of outcomes and actions.

[OP plain text: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Autistic People. \End PT]

[Image descriptions: Squares with black text with the watermark @neurodivergent_lou. Long transcriptions follow.

1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Autistic People… 2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based on the idea that negative distorted thoughts are the basis of mental health difficulties. In order to change our actions and feelings, we must first change our thoughts. 3. I wonder though, as an autistic person what if my thoughts are rational and come from living in a world which is not fundamentally built for me. For example, I might feel anxious about attending a party due to the loud noises and social interactions. The CBT model would expect me to rationalise these anxieties through for example, reminding myself that I have got through parties before or telling myself that the noise won’t be too bad. As an autistic person however, the research suggests that the noise will get increasingly worse and can be physically painful. No amount of thought changing will help that. 4. Similarly, autistic people struggle with communicating with non autistic people. It is part of the diagnostic criteria after all. As a result, my anxiety around social situations is logical. It is not irrational and is based on my experiences as an autistic person in a neurotypical world. So if a professional tries to convince me that my anxiety is unfounded, then that feels frustrating. Sometimes I just got to the point where I told them what I wanted to hear. 5. As an autistic person, my brain tends to work quite logically which is why I view and analyse situations the way that I do. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tries to make people analyse situations and look at them logically rather than jumping to emotional conclusions. I already analyse situations but changing my thoughts to make them analytical rather than emotional, does not change the discrimination or experiences which come directly from being autistic. 6. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is often given over a small number of sessions (e.g. 6 or 10 sessions) Autistic people may need longer than neurotypical people to build relationships and trust. It worries me that this is often the only type of support given. 7. For so long, I thought that I was broken because cognitive behavioural therapy didn’t work for me, no matter how many times I did it. I assumed that I just wasn’t trying hard enough and that I would never get better. 8. However, I also want to acknowledge that for some autistic people, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is incredibly helpful in managing anxiety, depression and other mental health difficulties. \End desccriptions]
