Did you know that the average person spends approximately 90,000 hours of their life at work? That's nearly one-third of your entire existence dedicated to your career.
For some people, that number is even higher, as they find themselves staying late, working weekends, and thinking about work long after they've left the office. From the outside, you might look like the picture of success. You're productive, reliable, and always getting things done. Colleagues admire your work ethic, and supervisors praise your dedication.
You've been in therapy for months, maybe even years. You've talked through your experiences, gained insights about your patterns, and understand intellectually why you feel the way you do. Yet somehow, you still wake up with that familiar weight in your chest, still find yourself triggered by the same situations, still feel stuck in cycles you thought you'd broken through understanding alone.
Recovery isn’t just about avoiding the past - it’s about building something new. A wellness toolbox offers simple, supportive practices you can rely on daily to stay grounded, connected, and resilient. In this post, we explore practical tools to help you navigate recovery with more confidence and clarity.
When you're navigating a mental health crisis or trying to make sense of what healing might look like, the language surrounding treatment can be confusing. Words like therapy, counseling, and recovery programs are often used interchangeably, even though they can mean very different things depending on the context.
Deciding to begin a mental health treatment program is rarely something done on impulse. For most people, it comes after a long period of reflection, uncertainty, and often, exhaustion. It might follow months or even years of managing symptoms alone, trying different forms of support, or navigating setbacks.
