  • Can you help someone with severe anger issues?

    Anger is usually a secondary emotion, meaning there is something underneath it causing it to pop up. The problem with anger is that it can distract from what might actually be bothering the person, for example, a person might be feeling overwhelmed or hurt and therefore show increased irritability or anger. A helpful tactic can be asking your friend, What do you need? vs. responding directly to the anger or trying to immediately problem solve. Sometimes just acknowledging they are having a hard time and sitting in that emotion with them can also be a relief. READ MORE

  • Are essential oils good for anxiety?

    Using essential oils as a sensory grounding technique can be helpful when one is experiencing anxiety.

  • Can you help a child's anxiety?

    Hi there. May children unfortunately can experience excessive worries/anxiety. One thing that can help is reminding your child to talk about it. It can feel really isolating to hold onto worries all by yourself. Also teaching your child that anxiety is meant to alert us that extra caution may be needed; but sometimes it's a false alarm. Helping your child notice and talk through whether a situation is a real threat or false alarm can help. READ MORE
