This is episode 6 in the “All Psyched Up About” series dedicated to the work of clinical psychologist, Daniel McMillan and his team at Assured Psychology, whereby each episode seeks to highlight a variety of issues and topics around mental health. §§§ In this episode, I was joined in the studio by Cody Harper, a social worker in the Assured Psychology offices here in the City of Calgary.  Cody took a deep dive into providing guidance and recommendations around “How to stay present during Life’s Stresses”.  The discussion during Episode 6 focused around: ⇒ Good stress vs. Bad stress ⇒ Stress hormones – Cortisol ⇒ Rumination ⇒ Two methods to avoid or stop ruminating: (1)  The “R-A-I-N” method and (2) the “A-C-E” method §§§ CONCLUDING THOUGHTS FROM CODY HARPER: Much of our stress is generated from the fear of not being good enough.  Check your expectations; are they realistic? Accept your emotions and stop trying to control others §§§ To learn more about the work of Cody Harper and his colleagues at Assured Psychology, click on one or more of the following links: Assured Psychology Website | https://www.assuredpsychology.com LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/assured-psychology/ Facebook | @assuredpsych or https://www.facebook.com/assuredpsych/ Instagram | @assuredpsychology §§§ Mental Health | Psychology | Psychologist | Health Clinic | Counselling | Counseling | Mental Well Being | Therapy | Community Support | Shame | Compassion | Mental Illness | Vulnerability | Vulnerable | Self-Esteem | Self-Value | Loneliness | Isolation | Depression | Self-Criticism | Self-Abandonment | Self-Care | Self-Worth | Couples Counseling | Men’s Mental Health | Anxiety | Stress | Resilience | Calgary | YYC | Alberta | Podcasting | Podcast Guest | Canada Podcast | Emotions | Reactions | Relationships --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allen-wazny/message
