CIKK: Miért jön először a szorongás, és utána a depresszió?

WHY ANXIETY USUALLY COMES FIRST... AND DEPRESSION SECOND... <3

I have had people ask me why I don't write more about depression...

Well, I view depression as the state of despair we experience when we believe there are NO SOLUTIONS to our problems. For my clients, their problem is usually their anxiety.

Anxiety is the first indicator that... "ALARM, ALARM, There is a problem. You can't handle your environment or the perspective that you have in this environment. You must make some sort of a change."

So, once I convince my clients that there IS a solution to their anxiety and that they ARE going to be able to overcome it... their depression goes away naturally... and fast. <3

There ARE solutions... There are ALWAYS solutions.

Overcoming depression involves finding this solution.

Let me know if you'd like to talk. :)

You can totally do this!!

WHAT'S THE ROLE OF CONNECTION IN OVERCOMING ANXIETY?

In our individualistic society, the field of psychology has often assumed that the INDIVIDUAL has a "disorder" that the INDIVIDUAL must overcome.

However, I view mental illness as a SOCIETAL problem... and that the solution lies in having the right CONNECTION.

In particular, we need the kind of connection that helps us feel LESS ALONE, less "weird", less crazy... and helps us truly believe that we are GOOD ENOUGH just the way we are.

.

For EVERY SINGLE ONE of my anxieties, it was a pivotal connection that set me free. <3

🔸 For my Crippling Social Anxiety, I flew to Hungary and found a close friend who could finally help me.

🔸 For my Postpartum & Generalized Anxiety, I became close friends with my nanny who was a lot like me.

🔸 For my Performance Anxiety, I hired a coach whose personality was a lot like mine, and who I knew would treat me as his equal.

.

Sociologists often call anxiety and depression "dis-eases of disconnection"...

Therefore, it is HONEST, EQUAL, TWO-WAY CONNECTION with someone who truly understands us that is the most powerful force in setting us free.

This is the kind of connection that helped me...

And this is the model of connection I use in my coaching.

Let me know if you'd like to find out more about this "Equal, Honest, 2-Way Connection" approach to overcoming anxiety.

To the pivotal connections that set us free...

VERS: Az élet verseny saját magunkkal

LIFE IS A RACE WITH OURSELVES...

Life is a race with ourselves.

To win the race, all we have to do is take ONE step forward today from where we were yesterday.

The moment we look sideways or backwards at what other people are doing, we start losing the race...

We lose our footing...

We trip and fall flat on our face...

We idolize other people, and we feel really bad about ourselves...

.

When in fact...

We human beings LOVE moving forward...

We get a real THRILL from bettering ourselves.

So keep looking forward...

Put one foot in front of the other...

Move forward today from where you were yesterday...

In the direction that YOU want to go in...

And YOU have won the race. <3

To your happiness...
