We want to see positive images, positive things going on and turning around.
Ever feel the winter blues creeping in or find yourself comparing your life to others on social media? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'Couch Convos with JoNessa', hosts Joseph and Danessa Barr welcome back Licensed Professional Counselor Kervin Searles for a deep dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the impact of social media on our mental health.
Kervin sheds light on how the holiday season can sometimes amplify feelings of depression and anxiety, especially for those dealing with past trauma or grief. The trio discusses practical tips to manage these feelings, like seeking therapy, practicing intentional living, and limiting screen time. They also highlight the importance of filling your feed with positive and uplifting content.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressures of social media or the gloom of shorter days, this conversation offers valuable insights and comforting advice. Join Joseph, Danessa, and Kervin for an engaging chat that aims to boost your mental well-being and help you navigate the emotional challenges of the season.
