Grieving a loss is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience. Your loss might be due to the death of a person, the end of a relationship, or the closing of a life chapter. It's a relief to understand that, as humans, we are unique, and each of us processes traumatic events differently. Despite this universality, grief can feel incredibly isolating . . . as if you are the only person who understands the pain. And it’s true that you’re the only one who’s lived your experience.  

We live in a fast-paced, work-heavy society. Performance expectations range from mildly overwhelming to patently ridiculous, and for many, anxiety about meeting metrics is a regular part of life. Throw in tight deadlines, firehose-volume workloads, and interpersonal challenges with coworkers and managers, and your mind will feel downright scrambled.

Even with all of those variables, simple strategies can help you manage your anxiety during the workday, and we’ve listed a few of them here. 

Many people wonder, "Why should I invest in online therapy when I can just talk to my friends or family?" While venting to loved ones or buddies may offer temporary relief, online therapy provides long-term benefits beyond getting things off your chest.

While therapy is a safe and impartial space to get things off your chest freely, it’s not about venting.

Depression and anxiety, two of the most prevalent mental health disorders, affect millions of people worldwide. While they are distinct conditions, they often coexist, like two sides of the same coin. This interaction can form a complex relationship that can be challenging to navigate without professional help. Understanding this dynamic is important for those seeking effective treatment, including online therapy for either or both.
