Finding the Right Provider

Finding the Right Provider

Finding the Right Provider

Finding the right provider for you may seem like a daunting task. However, there are steps you can take to help ease the process and ensure you will find a provider that will be the right fit for you. 

When searching for a new provider, a good first step is to check what healthcare providers are covered by your insurance, if that is how you are hoping to pay. Many insurance plans offer a provider directory which gives you the contact information for various health offices and providers.

After determining what providers are “in network” for your insurance plan, then you can further choose a specific provider that you see best fit for you. There are many things to consider when choosing a new provider. By determining what you need and are hoping for in a provider, it will be easier to find the right match. We recommend asking yourself the following questions to help better determine what you are looking for:

  • Where am I hoping for the provider’s office to be located?
  • What kind of care am I seeking?
  • Do I have any specific problems I am hoping to address?
  • What are my goals for seeking therapy or other healthcare services?

In addition, some individuals might have specific preferences on the credentials and previous work history of their provider. 

Regardless of your answers to these questions, there is a provider out there who is right for you. Finding the perfect therapist or healthcare provider may seem challenging, but by doing so you are taking an important step towards bettering your overall wellness.

Practicing Self-Care

Posted on by nwmind5bg

Practicing Self-Care

Practicing Self-Care

Practicing self-care is essential to maintaining a healthy mind and body. Oftentimes our busy schedules get in the way of even basic self-care acts. However, it is important to make time for these activities in order to better your overall wellness. 

There are an infinite number of ways to practice self-care. With an individual’s differing needs and wants, it is important to recognize that people may enjoy varying ways of self-care. To discover what forms work best for you, we recommend trying various self-care strategies to help you see what you enjoy most.

The following list consists of various ways that you can practice self-care for mind and body health.

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is essential to the health of one’s mind and body. Without enough sleep, it can be hard to think and feel motivated throughout the day. The CDC recommends that adults aged 18-60 get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. To help reach this goal, we suggest creating a sleep schedule, avoiding energizing activities in the evening, and making your sleeping environment comfortable.

Eat Nutrient-Dense foods

Eating nutrient-dense foods helps promote better physical health, but it can also improve the health of your mind. The National Institute of Mental Health recommends eating a healthy, balanced diet and staying hydrated to help you think clearly and feel energized.

Get Physical

Physical activity can improve the health of your body as well as your mind. It is important to note that no form of exercise is too small. Each step helps you work towards a healthier self.

Recognize Stressors

To help avoid stress, it is important to recognize what triggers it. Although many stressors may be unavoidable, others may be easier to avoid. Try to eliminate any unnecessary stressors from your life. 

Change Your Mindset

It is hard to find happiness when focusing on the negatives in life. Try to look for the best in situations. On days that are especially challenging mentally, try to find or create one positive from the day.

Meditate

Meditation can help clear one’s mind and create a sense of balance. The are various methods of meditation, many of which may take some practice before their true benefit can be realized. Like all self-care, it is important to note that everyone has their own preference on what type of meditation they find most beneficial. 

Spend Time Outside

Spending time outdoors can be very relaxing and grounding. In an increasing technology dependent world, you may find yourself not spending much time outside. We suggest spending time outside, even if only for short periods. With the fresh air and presence of nature, many find that their mindset improves after spending time outdoors.

Create Boundaries

It is okay to create boundaries and say “no” to others. Between work and personal life, many find that they are constantly saying “yes” to things they don’t want to be doing. It is important to learn these boundaries for yourself, and recognize that it is okay to say “no” to protect your own mental health.

Take Time for Yourself and What Makes You Happy

Everyone deserves time to focus on what brings them joy. By doing something you love, you can help relieve stress and feel happier. Whether you enjoy reading, hiking, watching sports, or anything else, your happiness matters. Make time in your schedule to focus on the things you love.

Bulimia nervosa

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa, often referred to simply as “bulimia,” is a type of eating disorder. With this disorder, individuals experience recurrent episodes of feeling a loss of control and eating large amounts of food, after which they take desperate measures to attempt to rid themselves of the extra calories.

With treatment, many individuals can recover from the disorder completely.

The behavioral symptoms may vary depending on the person. However, common behavioral symptoms include, but are not limited to:

  • Feeling out of control
  • Recurrent episodes of binge eating
  • Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior to try and rid body of excess calories by self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, fasting, or excessive exercise

A main focus of CBT is to help one replace negative thoughts with more positive ways of thinking.
  • Nutritional Therapy
    • Nutrition education can play an important role in the treatment of bulimia. A dietician can help one create a personalized plan for eating that allows for healthy habits to be created.
  • Medication

Currently, there are no medications directly for treating eating disorders, but eating disorders are often co-occurring with other illnesses such as depression or anxiety, and medicine can help treat these underlying issues.

The Difference Between Stress and Anxiety

Posted on by nwmind5bg

The Difference Between Stress and Anxiety

The Difference Between Stress and Anxiety

The difference between stress and anxiety may not seem clear as they share many of the same symptoms. However, it is important to learn to recognize the differences between the two in order to help determine what treatment plan may be effective for you. 

With the following information, we hope to help you learn the key differences between stress and anxiety.

What is Stress?

Stress is generally a response to an external cause, and may be felt as a physical or mental response. These causes can include, but are not limited to, a heavy workload, illness, or significant life changes.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety generally stems from an internal cause. However, anxiety can occur and persist even when there is no current threat. If one’s anxiety continues over time, it can begin to interfere with their health and overall wellbeing.

STress

  • Generally a response to an external cause
  • The stress typically goes away when the situation causing stress is resolved
  • Stress can be positive, such as in situations in which you have a deadline you need to be pushed to meet

Both

  • Stress and anxiety both affect the mind and body
  • The symptoms of the two are similar and often overlap. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
    • Loss of sleep
    • Headaches
    • Feeling uneasy
    • Tension
    • High blood pressure
    • Excessive worry

Anxiety

  • Generally internal, as a reaction to stress
  • Persistent feelings and symptoms of anxiety, even when no threat is present
  • Often accompanied with feelings of dread or apprehension that don’t go away and can interfere with life

Coping with Stress and Anxiety

We suggest starting your coping process by trying to learn what causes your stress, and subsequent anxiety. By gaining a better understanding of the causes, it will be easier to determine what coping strategies and techniques may be right for you. 

When you are beginning to feel stressed, we recommend the following:

  • Challenge negative thoughts and try to consciously replace them with positive thoughts
  • Keep a journal in which you can write your thoughts and feelings, or even doodle if that provides relief to you
  • Practice relaxation activities that you enjoy, such as reading, meditating, or anything else that might help you relax
  • Increase your physical activity levels even if only in small amounts, exercise can have many benefits to your mind and body
  • Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine especially before bed
  • Create a sleep routine that is consistent and provides an adequate amount of rest
  • Reach out to your support network of family, friends, and/or health care provider

Treatment and More Help

It is important to reach out to your healthcare provider if your symptoms persist over time or if you feel like you are struggling to cope. With the help of a provider, you can better learn the causes of your symptoms and best course of action for treatment.

If you are in immediate distress or are thinking about hurting yourself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
