Towards happiness and well-being in our mental health:
Below the surface is a depth of human experience - in ourselves and relationships. How can we listen to and be cognisant of this? Being aware of one's needs and feelings with calm assertiveness, centered in warm-hearted values is useful.
Central work:
- Symptoms of anxiety: Anxiety is associated with the fight, flight, freeze reflex. As human beings we have a strong response to danger and stress generally that is highly attuned, automatic and that neurochemically is processed faster than we can register the stressor consciously. Anxiety can be a feeling of unease; of being ill-at-ease; self-conscious, or threatened or stressed.
- Signs of depression: Depression is a feeling and problem that can involve our sense of self in life and our experience in the world. It can be useful to consider depression as bringing a challenge to the self. Sometimes there is something actually wrong that's experienced and felt and thought about subjectively and semi-consciously deep down that bothers and depresses us. Depression can feel like hopelessness and people have feelings of guilt or low worth. We may lose interest in things we liked, we may become uncertain about the point of things. That said, choosing to address and share such feelings can be helpful.
What meaning do we make; what is most honest; what is most helpful?
