In our society, men are frequently taught to be strong and quiet. Often times, men worry that seeking help will be an indication of vulnerability. Suppressing your feelings can make mental health worse.
Rather than getting on your phone first thing in the morning and checking the news or social media try starting your day with a mindfulness exercise. Studies show that engaging in mindfulness activities can reduce stress and result in you feeling more relaxed and centered. Some examples of useful techniques are the raisin exercise and mindful listening.
Feeling Safe
I feel safe at CFS. I know the staff is professional and understanding and that my thoughts and feelings will be heard and are valid.
Building Strength
My treatment at CFS has helped me find the ability to continue on through a horrible time. The office staff always greets me with a smile, that’s great.
Embrace New Ideas
It’s great to have someone to talk through my thoughts and feelings with — to get things out into the universe and have a neutral party help me learn how to process, try new things, embrace different ideas.
