Mentally STRONG with Dr. B

I hope that you have found this series helpful. It is my goal to provide information and resources on grief in a way that is easy to understand and accessible. Moving Through Grief by Dr. Kubacky is an excellent resource for those who are looking to process their grief in a healthy way. The book uses ACT therapy which has been shown to be effective in helping people move through their grief. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with the loss of a loved one.

Grief is a journey, and each step along the way teaches us something new about ourselves and about the world around us. 
  Grief often brings up intense emotions that can seem contradictory or opposing. We may feel numb and disconnected one moment, and then overwhelmed by sadness and despair the next. These conflicting emotions can make it difficult to know how to respond or what to do next. This is where dialectical thinking comes in. Dialectical thinking is a way of understanding two opposing ideas or points of view and finding a middle ground between them. It is a way of holding two contradictory truths in our minds at the same time. 
  Learning to think dialectically can help us to make sense of our conflicting emotions and find peace amid the pain. It can help us to see both the darkness and the light, the sorrow and the joy, the hurt, and the healing. Dialectical thinking allows us to find hope in the midst of grief and cultivate mental strength in times of adversity. 
  So what is a dialectical thinker? A dialectical thinker sees both sides of an issue, understands that there is always more than one truth, and is willing to hold two contradictory ideas in their mind simultaneously. If you are working through your grief journey, I invite you to embrace your inner dialectical thinker. Allow yourself to feel all of your emotions, even the ones that seem contradictory or opposing. Allow yourself to explore both the darkness and the light. And allow yourself to find new meaning in your grief journey. By embracing dialectical thinking, you can turn your pain into purpose and find strength in your grief journey.

We have all heard of the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. While this model was created by Dr. Kubler Ross based on her clinical experience, it doesn't necessarily reflect everyone's experience with grief. Grief is a profoundly personal journey, and no two people grieve exactly the same way. In my experience with grief, I have found that the five stages are more like a spiral than a linear process. I may move through the stages several times before finally reaching acceptance. And even then, I may find myself revisiting the stages from time to time. Grief is a complex emotion, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with it. What works for one person may not work for another. The important thing is to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve in whatever feels right for you.

 Do you know someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder)? 
This disorder can be extremely stressful and anxiety-provoking for both the person who has it and their loved ones. In this video, I provide an overview of what Dissociative Identity Disorder is, how it's treated, and some of the common stressors that can trigger symptoms.

What is the treatment for an adjustment disorder? This question is difficult to answer because adjustment disorder is not a specific mental health condition. It is a diagnosis given to people who experience distress after a life change or stressful event. In this video, I will discuss the DSM-5 criteria for adjustment disorder and outline some of the most common treatments.
